"As per the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) on appointment of Chief Justice of India and Supreme Court Judges, today the Honble Minister of Law and Justice sent a letter to the Honble Chief Justice of India for sending his recommendations for appointment of his successor," the Ministry of Law and Justice tweeted.
