Institutional trust in courts and their credibility is the very basis of a thriving constitutional order, Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandcrachud said on Wednesday (Oct 9). CJI was speaking at the Bhutan Distinguished Speakers’ Forum, a part of the Jigme Singye Wangchuck Lecture Series, on the subject of ‘Judicial Legitimacy through accessibility, transparency and technology: the Indian experience’. Dealing with the issue of public trust, the CJI said that courts do not directly hold resources as trustees of people.
