Former CJI D.Y. Chandrachud Vacates Official Bungalow, Shifts to Teen Murti Marg

Family shifts to Teen Murti Marg residence; delay attributed to special care needs of his daughters
Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: Former Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud has officially vacated the government bungalow at 5, Krishna Menon Marg, which is reserved for the sitting Chief Justice. This comes nearly a month after the Supreme Court administration requested the central government to reclaim the residence following his retirement.

On Friday, the keys to the bungalow were formally handed over to the concerned department, completing the relocation process.

New Address: Teen Murti Marg

Justice Chandrachud, who retired after a historic tenure as the 50th Chief Justice of India, has now moved into a new government-allotted bungalow located at Teen Murti Marg in Delhi. The new residence has been selected keeping in mind the specific needs of his family, particularly his two daughters who require special care.

Why the Delay? Family’s Special Requirements

The relocation, which took several weeks, was delayed due to valid personal and logistical reasons. Speaking earlier to NBT, the former Chief Justice noted that it traditionally takes time for outgoing CJIs and judges to shift from official residences, with bungalows often being allotted to them temporarily after retirement.

More specifically, the need to ensure appropriate accommodations for his daughters, who are special care children, meant that a suitable and safe environment was non-negotiable. Modifications were required in the new residence to meet their needs.

Renovation by PWD Ongoing

The bungalow at Teen Murti Marg is currently undergoing renovations by the Public Works Department (PWD). Officials estimate that the work will be completed within the next two to three weeks. The former CJI and his family have already shifted into the property, despite ongoing work, due to the urgency of the move.

Background: Supreme Court’s Request

In July, the Supreme Court administration had formally written to the Centre, requesting the return of the Krishna Menon Marg bungalow. The request was in line with existing rules and precedents, where former CJIs are expected to vacate their official residences within a stipulated period post-retirement.

Chandrachud had earlier clarified that precedents exist allowing retired judges to retain official accommodations for a limited duration, depending on personal circumstances and logistical issues.

Relocation

The relocation of former CJI D.Y. Chandrachud marks the end of his official post-retirement stay at the Chief Justice’s residence. While the transition took time due to personal family requirements, it was carried out in coordination with the government, following protocol and precedent. His new home at Teen Murti Marg is now being made ready to accommodate his family comfortably.
