We don't recall ever seeing photographs of a Supreme Court judge being sworn in, which is why we are sharing glimpses of Monday's ceremony at the highest court in the land with you.
Justice Dipankar Datta, previously the chief justice of the Bombay high court, took the oath of office as a judge of the Supreme Court.
Justice Datta is the first Supreme Court judge to be appointed during Chief Justice of India Dr Dhananjay Y Chandrachud's tenure.
