The Nine newly appointed Supreme Court Judges will likely to take oath of Office on 30st August.
The Oath ceremony was earlier decided to be held on 29th August, but on the account of Janmashtami, the SC will remain close on 29th August.
Sources said that four out of nine new apex court judges are chief justices of different high courts and they need some time to wind up their administrative and judicial work there.
They said in all the high courts, Friday is the last working day of the week and the judges need at least one working day to wind up their work there.
With a sanctioned strength of 34 judges, the Supreme Court as of now has 10 vacancies. Once the new judges will take oath next week, the top court will have only one vacancy.
