NEW DELHI, Aug. 8 -- Chief Justice of India Bhushan R Gavai on Thursday said that he will vacate his official residence before the deadline mandated under the Supreme Court Judges Rules, even as he acknowledged personal constraints in securing a new home before his retirement on November 24.
The statement came just days after the SC administration asked the Centre to evict former CJI Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud from the official residence of a serving CJI. "Till 24th of November, I will not find time to find a suitable house. But I can assure you that whatever time is permissible as per the rules, I will be shifting before that," CJI Gavai said at a farewell event for Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia, who demits office on August 9.P11
