Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is set to retire on November 10
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud pulled up a lawyer in the Supreme Court today after he told the bench that he had cross-checked with the court master about the details of the order dictated in court. "How dare you ask the court master what I dictated in the court? Tomorrow you will come to my house and ask the personal secretary what I am doing. Lawyers have lost all sense or what."
The Chief Justice said he was still in charge, "though for a short time". "Don't try these funny tricks again, these are my last days in the court," he said. The stern remarks came during an exchange over an arbitration order.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is set to retire on November 10. Justice Sanjiv Khanna is the next in line for the top legal post.
