The strength of the sanctioned judges of the Supreme Court (SC) of India, including the Chief Justice, is _______.
34
Article 124 of the Constitution allows Parliament to fix the number of judges of the Supreme Court by law.
The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Act, 2019 raised the number of other judges from 30 to 33.
Adding the Chief Justice of India, the total sanctioned strength becomes 33 + 1 = 34 judges.
The figure 30 was the number of other judges before 2019 (31 including the Chief Justice), while 25 and 40 do not match any sanctioned strength.
Hence, 34.
