Justice Sanjiv Khanna, set to be sworn in as the 51st Chief Justice of India, has had to relinquish his beloved morning walks due to security concerns. Known for his low-profile lifestyle, Khanna’s routine change is a departure from his cherished solitude.
Justice Sanjiv Khanna, soon to be sworn in as the 51st Chief Justice of India on Monday, has had to make adjustments to his daily lifestyle. Known for his dedication to law and his low-profile habits, Justice Khanna used to enjoy his solitary morning walks in Delhi’s scenic Lodhi Garden. Often anonymous among early risers, he walked several kilometers in peace. However, his new position brings heightened security protocols, and he has been advised to avoid these solo outings.
With the responsibilities of his new role, Justice Khanna was encouraged to take his morning walks accompanied by security personnel. Finding the arrangement uncomfortable, he chose to give up this cherished part of his routine rather than compromise on his solitude. His new appointment has prompted significant changes in his public movements, a transition he has taken in stride.
Justice Khanna’s connection to Delhi runs deep. An alumnus of Modern School, Barakhamba Road, and St. Stephen's College, his formative years were spent in the capital. His law studies at Delhi University’s Campus Law Centre further cemented his ties, where he formed lasting friendships that remain strong. Even today, Justice Khanna values personal connections and often drives himself to visit old friends rather than relying on official vehicles, preserving his privacy and avoiding public attention.
Justice Khanna’s commitment to privacy was evident during the Lok Sabha elections in May when he arrived at the polling station in his personal car, eschewing official transport and evading media attention. As he begins his six-month tenure as Chief Justice, ending in May 2025, he upholds a tradition of simplicity and calmness. This approach not only underscores his integrity but also reflects his preference for a grounded lifestyle even in high office.
