The Supreme Court administration has formally written to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, highlighting D.Y. that the former Chief Justice of India, Chandrachud, still resides in the official residence at Krishna Menon Marg in New Delhi beyond his tenure. According to various media reports, the court has urged the Center to take action for the bungalow's immediate vacation, citing the overstay.
SC has requested that the bungalow, designated for the sitting CJI, be vacated, according to a Hindustan Times article.
Even though Justice Chandrachud's tenure as the nation's top judge ended around eight months ago, he continues to live in the official residence designated for the CJI. From November 2022 to November 2024, he was the 50th CJI.
