NEW DELHI: Former Chief Justice of India , Sanjiv Khanna said on Tuesday that will not be accepting any official assignments post his retirement but will remain active in the law field.
Khanna who was appointed as the CJI on November 11, 2024, demitted office on Tuesday.
Justice B R Gavai , took oath as 52nd Chief Justice of India today.
"I will not accept any post-retirement post ... perhaps will do something with law," he said while talking to the press, news agency PTI reported.
"I will have a third innings and will do something related to law," he added.
When asked about the cash discovery controversy involving high court judge Justice Yashwant Varma, he said that plus and minus points are weighted to make a rational decision. "Judicial thinking has to be decisive and adjudicatory."
In dealing with the cash row controversy, the former CJI took several steps, including a preliminary inquiry by Delhi High Court, judicial work being taken away from Justice Varma and later his transfer to the Allahabad High Court sans judicial work.
After the in-house inquiry panel, former CJI Khanna urged him to resign. Upon the judge's refusal, he escalated the matter by writing to President Murmu and PM Modi.
Meanwhile, CJI B R Gavai also said on May 10 that he would not accept any post-retirement government assignments, which is a common practice among many former apex court judges.
