HC dismisses with cost PIL against Justice Chandrachud's appointment as CJI

The Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed with a cost of Rs 1 lakh a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the appointment of Justice D Y Chandrachud as the Chief Justice of India. A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad termed the petition as a "publicity interest litigation". The bench said the petition was filed only to gain publicity without there being any material. Petitioner Sanjeev Kumar Tiwari, who claimed to be the national president of an organisation named Gram Uday Foundation, challenged Justice Chandrachud's appointment as the CJI alleging that it was against the Constitution. Justice Chandrachud took oath as the 50th CJI on November 9. Last week, the Supreme Court had dismissed a petition with a similar prayer.

CJI-designate Chandrachud part of landmark verdicts: A few highlights

He is no stranger to the hallowed corridors of the Supreme Court over which his illustrious father presided for about seven years and four months, the longest in the institution's history. Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, however, had no qualms about overturning the judgements of father Y V Chandrachud on hot- button issues like adultery and the right to privacy.
