Chandrachud Vacates CJI Bungalow After Extended Stay Row
Former Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud has vacated the official CJI residence. His extended stay, beyond the permitted period, sparked controversy.
The delay in vacating the bungalow was attributed to the needs of his daughters and the reluctance of his successor to move in immediately.
The Supreme Court administration had approached the government to reclaim the property after the expiry of his allotted stay.
The incident highlights the delicate balance between personal needs and official protocol in high-profile government positions. This raises questions about the need for clearer guidelines and smoother transition processes for such crucial roles within the judiciary. The incident also underscores the public scrutiny surrounding even the seemingly private lives of top judicial figures.
