Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Congress in response to a letter from 600 lawyers to Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, alleging efforts to influence the judiciary and tarnish the courts’ reputation. The letter seeks protective measures from the Supreme Court. The lawyers accuse a “vested interest group” of attempting to exert undue influence, tarnish the courts’ reputation, and undermine public trust.
Justice J C Doshi of the Gujarat High Court expressed disappointment at lawyers’ attempts to “browbeat” him in multiple cases on Monday.
