New Delhi [India], Mar 18 : Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi is likely to take oath as Rajya Sabha MP at 11 am on Thursday.

President Ram Nath Kovind has nominated him to the Rajya Sabha.

Gogoi served as the 46th Chief Justice of India from October 3, 2018, to November 17, 2019.

On November 9, 2019, a five-judge Bench headed by him had delivered the verdict in the long-pending Ayodhya dispute case.
