Chandrachud took his seat for the final time. As the ceremonial bench filled with colleagues and well-wishers, tributes poured in, each adding a layer to the extraordinary story of a judge who transformed lives, upheld values, and redefined justice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal&rsquo;s words captured the emotion of the moment, speaking both to the man and his mission: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>&ldquo;You are an extraordinary son of an extraordinary father.

Venkataramani penned a heartfelt note, while Solicitor General Mr. Tushar Mehta admired Justice Chandrachud&rsquo;s <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>&ldquo;unmatched scholarship&rdquo;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"> and impartiality, declaring, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>&ldquo;DYC will truly be missed.&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">In a touching twist, Senior Advocate Mr. Rajiv Shakdher, a former Delhi High Court judge making his first appearance before the Apex Court, shared his own connection: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s ironic, Chief Justice; it is my first appearance here today.

Justice Chandrachud&rsquo;s work is<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em> &ldquo;beyond compare.&rdquo; <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Justice Khanna concluded<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Justice Chandrachud&rsquo;s departure marks the end of a transformative era for the Supreme Court&mdash;a legacy of justice and compassion that, as Mr. Sibal aptly said,<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong><em> &ldquo;&#8230;will be etched in our hearts for years to come.&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Lawyers and members of the Bar gathered to honour the outgoing Chief Justice.
