Pragya Samal was floored Wednesday when SC judges led by CJI D.Y. Chandrachud gave her a standing ovation and gifted her signed books on the Constitution.
CJI, who was part of the constitution bench, said when the judges sat together, as they do before a pronouncement, it was unanimously decided that this will be a 'judgement of the court'.
The National Judicial Data Grid gives real-time access to case statistics, including pendency and disposal; this, Justice Chandrachud said, would bring in “transparency and accountability” in the top court.
The CJI made the remarks after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the govt, referred to the contentious provision in the Indian Constitution, saying that it gave special rights to the residents of J&K.
Reports on proposed transfer of Justice Nikhil Kariel to Patna High Court had triggered protests by lawyers in the Gujarat HC, with a delegation of bar leaders meeting the CJI.
Justice DY Chandrachud, who was sworn in as the 50th Chief Justice of India by President Droupadi Murmu, said heading the Indian judiciary was a 'great opportunity & responsibility'.
The proceedings were held by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice Hemant Gupta and Justice Ajay Rastogi. By Wednesday, court masters may go paperless too.
