A Supreme Court registrar has written to the Delhi Transport Commissioner, requesting the allotment of a specific registration number for a new Mercedes car purchased by former Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, according to media reports.
The letter, from the registrar reportedly sent on July 28, also urged the commissioner to expedite the allotment process and keep him informed of any updates.
Justice Chandrachud retired as Chief Justice of India on November 10, 2024, after serving a tenure of nearly two years.
Justice Chandrachud took over as the CJI on November 9, 2022. Judges of the Supreme Court retire by the age of 65.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Chandrachud formally proposed Justice Sanjiv Khanna, the second-most senior judge of the Supreme Court, as his successor.
