Explanation:

The Supreme Court has reiterated that Chief Justice of India (CJI) is first among equals (primus inter pares) and has exclusive prerogative to allocate cases and constitute benches (master of roster). CJI is also an entity in itself (sui generis). The ruling was given by SC bench led by the CJI Dipak Misra dismissing PIL that sought directions to regulate CJI’s power to form benches and allocate cases.
