Justice Sanjiv Khanna, newly appointed as Chief Justice of India today(11th Nov), is tracing his ancestral roots back to his grandfather Sarav Dayal’s house in Amritsar. Despite its transformation, Khanna regularly visits Katra Sher Singh, cherishing memories and advice from his grandfather, and reflects on the family’s historical significance during the pre-Independence era.
Justice Sanjiv Khanna will assume office as India’s 51st Chief Justice on November 11, focusing on reducing the Supreme Court’s backlog of over 82,000 cases. Upholding judicial integrity and citizen rights, he emphasizes timely justice and effective case management, while also valuing his privacy amidst increasing responsibilities in the judiciary.
