‘Please forgive me for…’: DY Chandrachud’s farewell message as Chief Justice of India

Live Mint  

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud marked his final day in office on Friday as the 50th head of the Indian judiciary with a special message from the ceremonial bench. Quoting the Jain phrase ‘Michhami Dukkadam,’ he said, “If I have ever hurt anyone in the court, please forgive me for that.” The phrase means, “May all my misdeeds be forgiven.” Reflecting on his tenure departure as the top judge of the country, he said, “I won't be able to deliver justice from tomorrow, but I am content,” reported NDTV. The Chief Justice assumed office on November 9, 2022, and will be replaced by CJI-designate Sanjiv Khanna, currently the first puisne judge at the Supreme Court. He said, “CJI Chandrachud was willing to deal with the complex issues which past chief justices would not allow themselves to deal with for years like Article 370, same-sex marriage or electoral bonds,” reported ANI.
