In a notable request, a Supreme Court registrar has petitioned the Delhi transport commissioner for the expeditious allocation of a unique registration number for a new Mercedes car owned by former Chief Justice of India, D Y Chandrachud.

The request, contained in a letter dated July 28, highlights the need for immediate action to secure the desired registration for the Mercedes Benz E220 recently purchased by Justice Chandrachud. His judicial legacy, spanning landmark decisions and profound reforms, concluded on November 10, 2024.
