To arrange these Chief Justices of India (CJIs) chronologically, we look at their terms of office:
1. Y.V. Chandrachud (3): Served as the 16th CJI from 1978 to 1985. He holds the record for the longest tenure in the history of the Supreme Court of India.
2. Ranjan Gogoi (4): Served as the 46th CJI from 2018 to 2019. He was the first CJI from Northeast India.
3. U.U. Lalit (1): Served as the 49th CJI in 2022. His tenure was relatively short, lasting 74 days.
4. D.Y. Chandrachud (2): Served as the 50th CJI from 2022 to 2024. Notably, he is the son of Y.V. Chandrachud, making them the only father-son duo to have held the position of CJI.
