“Political Bias in Judiciary is Inappropriate”: Mamata Banerjee with CJI Chandrachud at Cal HC Event

Today(on 29th June), Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud shared the stage at the bicentenary celebration of the Calcutta High Court Bar Library in Kolkata. The event included a discussion meeting organized by the National Judicial Academy, highlighting their prominent roles in judiciary and politics.

The Supreme Court has raised a important question: if judges can receive training at the National Judicial Academy, why shouldn’t lawyers have the same opportunity

The Supreme Court of India raised concerns about the lack of mandatory training for lawyers, proposing a certification requirement and a structured training program similar to that for judges. This highlights the Court’s dedication to improving legal professionals’ quality and accountability. The initiative aims to enhance the integrity and professionalism of India’s legal fraternity.
