Justice Hrishikesh Roy, who retired from the Supreme Court, openly admitted that ruling governments have “undoubtedly” used legal machinery to target opposition leaders. He emphasized the need for judicial independence, addressed rising religious cases, and dismissed claims of political pressure on judges. He also spoke on the Kanwar Yatra case and warned leaders that no government stays in power forever. His strong statements on media influence and judiciary’s role in maintaining democracy are now making waves!
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, along with judges from India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal, attended an international legal conference in South Goa Today (Oct 19), organized by the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA). Emphasizing the friendly rapport among judges, CJI Chandrachud lightheartedly referred to his colleague Justice N. Kotishwar Singh with a playful greeting. He also humorously remarked on the leisurely pace of the attendees, attributing it to the relaxed Goan vibe. Earlier in the day, he enjoyed a morning walk from Miramar Beach to Dona Paula.
