Every morning, Justice Sanjiv Khanna would walk for several kilometres alone in the Lodhi Garden area and around his house, believing that no one would recognise him.
Justice Sanjiv Khanna will take oath as the 51st Chief Justice of India on Monday and has already had to stop an activity that was dear to him - his solitary morning walks.
Sources said, every morning, Justice Khanna would walk for several kilometres alone in the Lodhi Garden area and around his house, believing that no one would recognise him. After his appointment as the next Chief Justice was notified late last month, however, he has been advised to go for his morning walk with a security personnel in tow. They said Justice Khanna refused because he is not used to doing this and decided to give up the morning walks altogether.
Having completed his schooling from Modern School at Barakhamba Road, graduation from St Stephen's College and his law degree from Delhi University's Campus Law Centre, Justice Khanna is very familiar with every nook and corner of Delhi. Sources said the Chief Justice-designate is still in touch with his school, college and Campus Law Centre friends and prefers to drive to their homes himself.
