    Solution

    The Supreme Court of India was established on January 26, 1950, coinciding with the day the Indian Constitution came into effect. It replaced the Federal Court of India (1937-1950) and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as India's highest judicial authority. Justice Harilal Jekisundas Kania was appointed as the first Chief Justice of India, and the court initially had eight judges in total.
