The Supreme Court registry has designated two Lutyens' Delhi bungalows as official residences for India's Chief Justice to eliminate accommodation waiting periods. Justice Surya Kant, the incoming 53rd CJI, will occupy 19 Akbar Road instead of the traditional Krishna Menon Marg address, establishing a dual-residence system for smoother transitions between chief justices.
