Justice Sanjiv Khanna has been formally sworn in as the 51st Chief Justice of India (CJI) by President Droupadi Murmu in a concise ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday, according to ANI. Justice Khanna, a distinguished member of the Supreme Court, has contributed to pivotal rulings, including the bench that upheld the abrogation of Article 370.

In addition to this, Justice Khanna has also been involved in key judicial decisions, including the recent ruling which invalidated the electoral bonds scheme. The scheme, originally passed in Parliament, faced scrutiny and was ultimately quashed by a bench including Justice Khanna, marking a significant moment in India’s electoral finance laws.
