Explanation

Justice H. R. Khanna was never Chief Justice of India. He famously resigned in protest during the Emergency in 1977 after being superseded for the CJI post despite being the senior-most judge. The other three (Patanjali Sastri, K. N. Wanchoo, and M. N. Venkatachaliah) all served as CJIs.
