His parents, former CJI Yashwant Chandrachud and classical singer Prabha Chandrachud, call him 'Dhanu! In Bambaiya lingo, he is known as 'genius aadmi'. Those who have been following his career say in chorus with undisguised pride, "Danny is the CJI India needs now!" The CJI's colleagues credit Mumbai a great deal for "shaping" him as a forward-thinking liberal. Between November 9, 2022, when he took over as CJI, and December 16, as many as 6,844 cases have been wrapped up. As he stated recently, "No case is small or big enough for the court." Applause! At a recent high-profile wedding reception in Mumbai, which saw India's legal eagles in attendance, the buzz was that the CJI himself would show up.
I kept my eyes peeled for a sighting in the 1,000-strong crowd. I have long admired the learned judge for his bold views on contentious issues.
