Rahul Gandhi vs Indian Army row takes a legal twist as Advocate Ashok Pandey moves the Chief Justice of India, alleging Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made contemptuous remarks targeting the Supreme Court and seeks criminal contempt proceedings.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud “If by political pressure you mean pressure from the government, I can tell you that in my 24 years as a judge, I have never felt any political pressure from those in power. This is because, in India, our democratic traditions ensure that we live lives relatively isolated from the political arm of the government.”
Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, speaking at an event in London, stated that in his 24 years as a judge, he has never felt direct political pressure from the government.
