Friday was the last working day of the country’s Chief Justice (CJI) DY Chandrachud in the Supreme Court.
He has formally departed from the Supreme Court. His departure created an emotional atmosphere in the court.
Chandrachud, who will take over as CJI in November 2022, is retiring on November 10 after two years of service.
On the occasion of his departure, a special function was organized in the Supreme Court, in which many prominent people from the judiciary and legal field were present.
An emotional moment during the program came when sitting CJI Chandrachud and his successor and future CJI Sanjiv Khanna hugged each other.
This scene was very special for the people present there, and everyone captured this rare moment in their cameras.
In his speech, Chandrachud handed over the torch of justice to Sanjeev Khanna and expressed deep trust in him. He said the country’s judiciary was safe in Khanna’s hands, and described him as a capable person.
Describing his journey towards justice as satisfactory, he said that the time to come is Khanna’s, and he is capable of taking the justice system of the country to new heights.
Future CJI Sanjeev Khanna also expressed his sentiments on this occasion. He expressed regret at not being able to share a long tenure with Chandrachud and in a joking tone made a light joke on Chandrachud’s age.
Khanna told that during a trip to Australia, many people used to ask him about Chandrachud’s age. After his statement, laughter spread in the function.
Khanna, in his address, praised Chandrachud’s decisions and said that they made the job easy as well as challenging for him.
Easy because Chandrachud lightened the burden on his path by taking many important decisions, and challenging because it is difficult to become like him. Khanna said that he will definitely feel the absence of Chandrachud during work.
Sanjiv Khanna will take over as CJI from November 11, but his tenure will be only for six months, as he will retire on May 13 next year.
However, there is a lot of curiosity about this short tenure of Khanna, and everyone wants to see what important decisions he brings in this time.
