On Patanjali Sastri's retirement in January 1954, Nehru had asked B.K. Mukherjea to take over as Chief Justice. However Mukherjea had declined, saying that Mehr Chand Mahajan was senior to him. When Nehru pressed him, the judge said he would sooner resign than usurp the highest office before his turn. Only after Mahajan retired did Mukherjea become CJI.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.caravanmagazine.in/print/896#sthash.yhOB920D.dpuf |title=Archived copy |access-date=31 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231122844/http://www.caravanmagazine.in/print/896#sthash.yhOB920D.dpuf |archive-date=31 December 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
