CJI Surya Kant Interview | Farmer's Son To Chief Justice:Justice Surya Kant Takes Charge As 53rd CJI

Justice Surya Kant was sworn in as the new Chief Justice of India, making him the first person from Haryana to reach the country's highest judicial office since the Supreme Court was inaugurated in 1950.

Chief Justice Kant, who started practicing law as a small-town lawyer, spoke to NDTV's Ashish Bhargava from his childhood home in Petwar in Haryana's Hisar and reflected upon his distinguished four-decade career.

"All my childhood memories are connected to this house. I was born here," he said while sitting on a 'khatiya', a traditional bed in villages.

Chief Justice Kant, who was born on February 10, 1962, to a middle-class family, said he must have been four years old when his parents sent him to a school in the village.

"We used to walk from this house through these streets to the village school with the schoolbag in our hands. All my childhood games and studies are connected to this village and the nearby areas," he said.
