Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai said that while nations like Pakistan and Bangladesh faced political instability, India has stayed united due to the strength of its Constitution. He credited the judiciary and constitutional values for keeping the nation stable for 75 years.
Former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud emphasized that judges should be careful when making public comments, referring to an Allahabad High Court judge’s statement on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). He explained that judicial restraint is important to protect the integrity of the institution. Chandrachud also revealed that in 2018, as a consultee judge, he had opposed the promotion of the same judge, Justice Yadav, due to concerns.
