Supreme Court Admin Seeks Removal of Ex-CJI Chandrachud From Official Residence

  • On July 1, 2025, the Supreme Court administration formally asked the government department responsible for housing and urban development to reclaim the official residence at 5 Krishna Menon Marg from former Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud.
  • Justice Chandrachud held the position of the 50th Chief Justice of India during the period spanning late 2022 until late 2024 and continued to reside in the Type VIII bungalow well beyond the authorized timeframe due to delays in vacating the premises.
  • He sought permission to stay until April 30, 2025, which was approved but with no further extensions allowed, while his new allotted residence at Tughlak Road underwent renovations delayed by pollution-related bans.
  • Chandrachud explained that none of the service apartments or hotels he tried worked out and cited his two daughters’ special needs and ongoing treatment as reasons for the extended stay.
  • The Supreme Court administration’s unprecedented step underscores strict adherence to legal timelines, requiring former CJIs to vacate official housing within six months post-retirement to free residences for sitting judges.
