“Untrue”: Ex-CJI D Y Chandrachud on reports he was being considered for NHRC chairperson

NEW DELHI: Former chief justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Friday said media reports of him being considered for the National Human Rights Commission chairperson’s post were “untrue”.

“This is untrue. Presently, I am enjoying my retired life,” country’s 50th CJI, who demitted office on November 10, told PTI.

The post of NHRC chairperson is lying vacant since former Supreme Court judge Justice (retd) Arun Kumar Mishra completed his tenure on June 1.
