CJI Ramana is slated to demit office on August 26, post which Justice Lalit is likely to take over.
The Secretariat of the CJI had on Wednesday night received a communication from the Minister of Law and Justice Karen Rijiju requesting CJI Ramana to recommend the name of his successor, sources said.
Justice Lalit will have a short tenure as CJI since he is expected to retire on November 8.
