Explanation:

Though no specific provision exists in the Constitution for appointing the chief justice, who as a result, is appointed like the other judges conventionally, the outgoing CJI recommends the name of the senior-most judge (i.e. by date of appointment to the Supreme Court) for appointment by the president of India.
