DY Chandrachud's legacy as CJI: Pragmatic progress over disruption

India Today  

When Justice Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud assumed the position of chief justice of India in November 2022, he carried with him high hopes for a transformative tenure. Justice Chandrachud’s term also included significant rulings on federalism, including his landmark decision in Union of India vs Mohit Minerals, where he held that GST Council recommendations are advisory rather than binding on state legislatures. Justice Chandrachud’s tenure also highlighted the importance of personal liberty, particularly in cases involving prolonged detention. Despite occasional controversies when judges’ remarks during hearings spurred media debates, Justice Chandrachud defended the move, arguing that transparency would ultimately strengthen judicial accountability. However, the biggest controversy during Justice Chandrachud’s tenure as the chief justice of India arose when he invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a Ganesh Puja at his residence—a move that many saw as compromising the judiciary’s independence by bringing it closer to the executive.
