New Delhi: It’s official: Justice Sanjiv Khanna will be the next Chief Justice of India (CJI).
The Central government on Thursday appointed Justice Khanna India’s 51st Chief Justice.
He will take oath on November 11, a day after Justice D Y Chandrachud retires at the age of 65.
“In exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution of India, Hon’ble President, after consultation with Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, is pleased to appoint Shri Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Judge of the Supreme Court of India, as Chief Justice of India with effect from 11th November, 2024,” Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal posted on X.
Justice Chandrachud, who had proposed Justice Khanna’s name as his successor a week ago, served as CJI for two years, having taken over on November 8, 2022.
Justice Khanna’s tenure will be much shorter than that of Justice Chandrachud’s. He will have to demit office after six months as he will turn 65 on May 14, 2025.
