Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud will on Sunday (November 10) retire, leaving behind a legacy of landmark judgments that shaped Indian law, strengthened individual rights, and promoted social justice. As he prepares to pass the baton to Justice Sanjiv Khanna on November 11, here's a look back at some of his most impactful decisions:
