New Delhi, April 27: Senior lawyer Indu Malhotra was sworn in on Friday as Supreme Court judge, amid raging controversy over the Narendra Modi government returning recommendation on Justice K.M. Joseph.
She was administered the oath of office by Chief Justice Dipak Misra. She will have a tenure of a little over three years.
With her swearing in the strength of the top court judges rose to 25 -- six still short of the actual sanctioned strength of 31.
It is for the first time that the apex court has two women judges -- the other being Justice R. Banumathi. Justice Malhotra is the fifth woman judge of the top court.
Justice Fatima Bibi was the first woman judge of the Supreme Court. She was followed by Justice Ruma Pal, Justice Gyan Sudha Misra and Justice Banumathi.

iPhone 16 series launch draws large crowds in Delhi , Mumbai
New Delhi: The iPhone 16 series went on sale in India today, and hundreds of Apple enthusiasts waited in line outside the company's flagship stores in Delhi and Mumbai this morning to get their hands on one. At Apple's Glowtime event earlier this month, the Apple iPhone 16 series was introduced.
Large crowds flocked to the Apple stores this morning in Saket, Delhi, and BKC, Mumbai, demonstrating the continued frenzy that a new Apple iPhone can spark. In both places, lines of people were observed waiting to purchase the new iPhone model.

There was also a sizable gathering at the Apple store in BKC Mumbai.Prior to the iPhone 16 series going on sale on September 20, more than 37 million iPhone models were booked during the pre-sale.
For the first time, the company is offering the iPhone Pro series at a lower price than the previous version, primarily due to the import duty reduction in the recent budget.”The iPhone 16 Pro starts at ₹1,19,900, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at ₹1,44,900," the company announced in a statement. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were launched at starting prices of ₹1,34,900 and ₹1,59,900 a year ago.
In nearly 60 countries today, including the US, China, Australia, and South Korea, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series. There are four models in the lineup: the entry-level iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, the flagship iPhone 16 Pro, and the high-end iPhone 16 Pro Max.
According to the source, the business intends to assemble the iPhone Pro Series in India for the first time, but the models will go on sale later.
