Option 2 : Chief Justice of India
The correct answer is Chief Justice of India.
- Adarsh Sein Anand was the 29th Chief Justice of India, serving from 10 October 1998 to 31 October 2001.
- In the D.K. Basu case (1996), he laid down important safeguards against custodial torture.
- These safeguards are considered valuable in protecting the rights of prisoners.
- The Supreme Court first sentenced the Chairman of the Bar Council of India, V.C. Mishra, for contempt of court and suspended him from practicing.
- Later, a Bench headed by Anand ruled that the Supreme Court did not have the power to debar any advocate from practicing even if it held him guilty of contempt.
