Dhananjaya y chandrachud: Former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has given the first response to the letter written by the Supreme Court to the Central Government regarding the government residence. Former CJI Chandrachud has replied citing personal reasons for not vacating the bungalow.
Former CJI Chandrachud said about the delay in vacating the bungalow, that it has been delayed due to the needs of his family, because both his daughters need it. The Supreme Court has adopted a strict attitude if the former CJI is not left out of the government house even after 8 months. The court administration has written a letter to the Union Urban Development Ministry asking Chandrachud to vacate the house.
Daughters have serious illness- Chandrachud
Former Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said that his daughters are struggling with serious diseases, including a genetic disease called Nemaline Mayopathy. He is being treated at AIIMS Hospital in Delhi. For this reason, it was not easy for him to find a right and convenient house.
Supreme Court already told the bungalow delay
Chandrachud told that he had already informed the judges and officers of the Supreme Court. He also said that he realizes his responsibilities well, because he has held the highest judicial post in the country.
Repair stopped and asked for a little more time
After retiring, he found a new bungalow on Tughlaq Road, but the repair work in Delhi stopped due to pollution control rules (GRAP-IV) during winter. Because of this, he sought permission to stay in the old bungalow for some more time, which he got.
Supreme Court asked to vacate the bungalow immediately
According to the Hindustan Times report, on July 1, the Supreme Court wrote a letter to the Housing Ministry saying that Bungalow No. 5 on Krishna Menon Marg, which is fixed for the current CJI, should be evacuated immediately. Chandrachud retired in November 2024, but is still living in the same bungalow. Both CJI after him are living in their old bungalows. Chandrachud had last taken oral approval to stop till 31 May 2025, but will not be allowed to pursue now.
