Justice Sanjiv Khanna, named the 51st Chief Justice of India, is adapting his routine to adhere to the strict protocols that accompany his new role. This has resulted in the cancellation of his daily 10-kilometer morning walks and limits on his mobility, as he prioritizes security while maintaining connections with old friends.
Justice Sanjiv Khanna is set to become the 51st Chief Justice of India on November 11, succeeding CJI D.Y. Chandrachud. Known for pivotal rulings on Article 370 and electoral bonds, Khanna’s appointment marks a significant transition in the Supreme Court’s leadership, reinforcing accountability and transparency in India’s judicial system.
