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.
A former SC judge says he was ‘shocked’ to see Modi attending puja at CJI’s residence, while a former Delhi HC judge argues Chandrachud hosted PM 'in personal capacity'.
CJI Chandrachud’s court is stepping in to solve dispute concerning duplication of contempt proceedings in matter of alleged illegal tree felling by DDA. ThePrint explains the controversy.

It seems as if there is absolutely no way for a person to be a High Court or Supreme Court judge without coming from a “distinguished” legal family.
