Former CJI DY Chandrachud praised a new book for debunking myths surrounding British colonial rule in India. Speaking at the launch of Rakesh Dwivedi’s work, he said colonialism was wrongly portrayed as civilizing rather than exploitative.
Former CJI D.Y. Chandrachud said bail before conviction should ordinarily be a right, but courts must closely scrutinize national security cases. He said this at the Jaipur Literature Festival while responding to Vir Sanghvi on Umar Khalid bail denial.
