In India's official order of precedence, the Prime Minister ranks highest among the three dignitaries listed. Former Presidents are placed next, followed by the Chief Justice of India. This protocol is determined by the Ministry of Home Affairs and reflects the constitutional hierarchy - the PM is the head of government, former presidents are given high respect as former heads of state, and the CJI heads the judiciary.
