DY Chandrachud to be 50th CJI as Lalit names him successor

Deviating from the tradition of the CJI going to the most senior Supreme Court judge’s chamber to hand over a copy of the recommendation letter he sends to the Union government, CJI Lalit created a new tradition by handing over the letter recommending Justice Chandrachud’s name in presence of all judges. CJI Lalit retires on November 8.
