Justice B V Nagarathna emphasised that preserving the rule of law is central to democracy, stressing that courts must enforce it “without fear or favour, affection or ill will,” upholding impartial justice as their highest constitutional duty.
Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud underscored the importance of independence among the Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary for national improvement. He addressed concerns over Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to his home during a festival, asserting that such social interactions do not affect judicial impartiality and emphasizing the judiciary’s distinct role in governance.
A letter to CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, drafted by senior lawyers Harish Salve and Adish Agarwala, aimed to address alleged corruption in the apex court’s electoral bond decision. The AILU claims it defends the judiciary’s independence but has faced criticism for remaining silent when the government challenged constitutional fundamentals. The AILU refutes accusations against responsible lawyers and legal bodies.
