[Landmark ADM Jabalpur Case] A Shared Legacy of CJI Chandrachud & Justice Sanjiv Khanna

CJI D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Sanjiv Khanna are linked through the ADM Jabalpur case, where their predecessors delivered a controversial verdict in 1976. Justice H.R. Khanna’s dissent emphasized the rule of law. Chandrachud later overruled that decision, highlighting progress in India’s legal interpretation of fundamental rights, marking a poetic justice moment.
