Chief Justice of India (CJI) Uday Umesh Lalit on Tuesday morning named Justice DY Chandrachud to be his successor. He will be the 50th CJI as Chief Justice Lalit’s term ends on November 8.
Justice Chandrachud would assume charge as the 50th CJI on November 9. He would have a tenure of over two years.
The development comes after the CJI had requested all judges to assemble in the Judges’ lounge at 10.15 am when he will hand over the letter naming his successor.
As the CJI, Justice Uday Lalit has a tenure of 74 days. He will demit office on attaining the age of 65 years.
