During Chandrachud’s tenure, there was little, if any, resistance to the government’s control over the appointment and transfer process. Two major controversies highlight this.
In Episode 1542, ThePrint's Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta unpacks the outgoing CJI's stellar orders and some much-criticised judgments in a tenure of 2 years.
There are 3 broad categories of Chandrachud rulings: those where rhetoric matched impact, those that were high-minded but not too impactful, and those where the impact contradicted the rhetoric.
The judge's rebuke of a female advocate & comments calling an area in Bangalore 'Pakistan' have gone viral on social media. The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter.
