New Delhi/IBNS: Justice Sanjiv Khanna on Monday took oath as the new Chief Justice of India, succeeding Justice DY Chandrachud.

Justice Khanna, who was sworn in by President Droupadi Murmu, became the country's 51st CJI. 

He was recommended by Justice Chandrachud, who retired as the CJI on November 10 at the age of 65.

Justice Khanna will remain in office till May 13, 2025.

The new CJI, who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2019, has been a part of benches that heard several politically-sensitive cases.

Justice Khanna was a part of the bench that granted bail to then Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo, Arvind Kejriwal, in the liquor policy case earlier this year.

He was also a part of the Constitutional benches that heard the cases like Article 370 abrogation and electoral bonds.
