Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. The appointment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is done by the President of India. This power is provided to the President by Article 124(2) of the Indian Constitution. However, the appointment of CJI is not completely at the discretion of the President. Almost always, the senior judge in the Supreme Court is appointed as the Chief Justice of India. The seniority is decided based on the number of years they have presided over the Supreme Court.
