The Madras High Court emphasised that true judicial morality lies in independence, quoting Justice Abhay Oka’s words while setting aside the cancellation of a hospital’s licence imposed by authorities under alleged public pressure.
Former CJI Chandrachud defended the Supreme Court’s verdict on Article 370, stating that the provision was always meant to fade away. In an interview with the BBC, he highlighted that it was introduced as a temporary measure due to war conditions. He emphasized that the Court upheld the elected government’s decision to abrogate it. According to him, the ruling aligns with the constitutional framework and historical context.
