Appearing before the committee as a part of its consultations with legal and Constitutional experts, Gogoi is learnt to have said that Article 82A (5) may not pass the Constitutional test and gives too much power to the Election Commission.

Delivering the Third Ramnath Goenka Memorial Lecture on July 12, 2018, as CJI designate, Gogoi cited the SC’s development of the Basic Structure doctrine as an example of “very sound jurisprudence which we continue to reap from.”

Once appointed, Bobde, the second seniormost judge in the apex court after Gogoi, will enjoy a tenure of one year and five months as CJI— until April 23, 2021.
