		IF the performance of a Chief Justice of India is generally measured in terms of his contribution to improving the justice delivery system and his relationship with the Bar, Justice A.S. Anand fulfilled these creditably during his three-year tenure, which comes to an end on October 31.
		Justice Anand rebutted the allegation by providing, through the Union Ministry of Law and Justice, documentary proof that he was born on November 1, 1936, and not in 1934 as alleged by Jethmalani.

	A new Chief Justice of India
		Although in the past Chief Justices of India (CJIs) have had such abnormally short tenures, there is some concern within the legal fraternity that a short tenure could indeed become an excuse for the incumbents to postpone action on long-pending judicial reforms, or even to avoid subjecting themselves to meaningful accountability.
		Short-tenure Chief Justices may well be inevitable in the absence of a judicially acceptable alternative to the principle of seniority (determined with reference to the date of appointment to the Supreme Court), and the retirement age of 65, which govern the selection and tenure of a CJI.
		Justice Bharucha then said that while in the case of the subordinate judiciary disciplinary control lies with the High Court, in the case of the higher judiciary the only recourse in law to deal with corrupt Judges is impeachment.
