This CJI is a happy man. On the final day of his tenure as the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud delivered a message from the ceremonial bench and acknowledged the reality that he would no longer
serve as the country’s top judge.
“I won’t be able to deliver justice from tomorrow, but I am content,” he said.
Chief Justice Chandrachud, who assumed office on November 9, 2022, bid farewell to his position today after his two-year term ended.
Recalling a lighthearted moment with his registrar judicial the previous evening, he shared, “When my registrar judicial asked me what time the ceremonial should begin, I said 2 pm, thinking it would allow us to wrap up a lot of pending items.
But I wondered to myself-will anyone actually be here at 2 pm on a Friday afternoon? Or will I just be left looking at myself on the screen?
