Officials said this is probably the first time the SC administration has asked a former CJI to get a bungalow vacated and return it to the SC Housing Pool for fresh allocation.He said that it was a peculiar situation for him as the bungalow is placed under the SC Housing Pool and it is the apex court that calls the allocation. In a letter of July 1 to the Housing and Urban Affairs Secretary, the SC administration had stated that the former CJI was allowed time to evacuate the official residence, and therefore, the bungalow should be evacuated without delay.Sources said that SC officials wrote to the ministry as the housing of all government, including judges and SC pools, come under the jurisdiction of the ministry and this is the ministry that is responsible for fulfilling any eviction. Sources said that SC needs official accommodation for four judges.Rules 3B of SC Judges allows retired CJI to retire to retire to maintain its bungalow for six months after retirement. Justice Chandrachud, who retired as CJI in November 2024, is living there. In December, he wrote to his successor and former CJI Justice Sanjeev Khanna, demanding time till April 30, 2025 to maintain the bungalow, and was allowed.Again again in April, he wrote to the then CJI, Khanna, demanding time till June 30, cited difficulty in finding a suitable habitat.
