How does the Chief Justice of India prioritize the duties of a designated ad hoc judge?
The Chief Justice of India does not prioritize the duties of a designated ad hoc judge. Rather, it is the duty of the Judge who has been so designated to attend the sittings of the Supreme Court at the time and for the period for which his attendance is required (as stated in section 127). While attending these sessions, he shall have all the jurisdiction, powers and privileges, and shall discharge the duties, of a Judge of the Supreme Court.
