The Supreme Court has formally requested the Union government to ensure the immediate vacation of Bungalow No. 5 on Krishna Menon Marg, currently occupied by former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud. He retired in November 2024 but continued residing in the Type VIII accommodation beyond the permitted period. Though permission was granted to stay until April 30, 2025, he remains there over two months later. Rule 3B allows only Type VII housing for six months post-retirement. Successor CJIs Sanjiv Khanna and Bhushan R Gavai declined to shift into the official residence, prompting the administration to reclaim the property. (PC: News18)
