Can the Chief Justice of India, without the approval of the President, establish new sitting locations for the Supreme Court?
No, the Chief Justice of India cannot establish new sitting locations for the Supreme Court without the approval of the President. This is indicated in Article 130 of the Constitution: "The Supreme Court shall sit in Delhi or in such other place or places, as the Chief Justice of India may, with the approval of the President, from time to time, appoint." The use of "with the approval of the President" indicates that this decision is not solely within the authority of the Chief Justice of India.
