Judgeship

Justice Khanna served as a Judge of the Delhi High Court from 24 June 2005 to 17 January 2019. During his tenure at the Delhi High Court, Justice Khanna authored or co-authored over 3,100 verdicts.

Though known for his acumen in taxation law, Justice Khanna passed several decisions which were of public interest. He was heading a Bench that was monitoring the installation of CCTV cameras in the National Capital Region. The Bench directed the city police to abide by the timeline set by it for installing the cameras in police stations. The Bench has also been pushing for filling vacant posts in the forensic science laboratories (FSLs) to ensure quick clearance of backlog of samples for testing, especially in criminal cases. Last March, Justice Khanna headed a Bench that quashed a notification issued by the President, disqualifying 20 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs for holding office of profit as Parliamentary Secretaries. The Bench held that the opinion tendered by the Election Commission of India to the President to disqualify the legislators was "vitiated and bad in law" as it had failed to hear out the MLAs. The verdict led to the reinstatement of all 20 MLAs.

After the retirement of Justice Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud he will serve as the Chief Justice of India from 11 November 2024 to 13 May 2025.
