‘Respect Law Minister’s perceptions’, CJI Chandrachud says no pressure on judges
Live MintChief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday said that there is no pressure on the judiciary and in his career as a judge for 23 years, no one asked him to decide a case. The top judge even added that the differences with Union Law Minister are differences of perceptions which are bound to happen. Chandrachud was speaking at the India Today conclave and on the same stage Union Law Minister Kiren Rijuju talked about the constitutional “Lakshman Rekha” on Saturday and said that if the judiciary indulges itself in the space of administration, who will do the judiciary's work. So first and foremost, I don't want to join issue with the law minister for his perception and I respect his perceptions and I am sure he has a great deal of respect for ours as well," the CJI said. At the India Toda Conclave, Rijuju also took a dig at some retired judges and claimed that they are part of the anti-India gang trying to make the Indian judiciary play the role of the opposition.
