Judges must uphold independence but collaborate with government on court infrastructure: CJI
New Delhi: Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud emphasised the importance of judicial independence while advocating for collaboration with the government on court infrastructure projects during a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Bombay High Court complex in Bandra, Mumbai.
He stated that judges must act with complete independence in their judicial duties but align with the executive on administrative matters that serve the public interest.
The new complex addresses space constraints in the existing 150-year-old heritage building. Justice Chandrachud also highlighted the need for inclusive and accessible infrastructure, particularly in the judiciary, as more women enter the legal profession.
