The Supreme Court does not need to play the role of the opposition in the Parliament, CJI said - it is the court of the people

  Panaji: Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said that the role of the Supreme Court as a people's court should be maintained but this does not mean that it should play the role of the opposition in Parliament. One can criticize the court for the inconsistency and error of legal theory. However, his role in relation to evidence should not be seen. Addressing a convention organized by the Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association in South Goa district, the Chief Justice said that when the society is prosperous and prosperous, there is a perception that you should focus only on big things but Our court is not like that. I think that the role of the apex court as a people's court should be maintained for the future. However, being a people's court does not mean that we play the role of the opposition in Parliament.

The CJI said, "There is a big divide among people who think that the Supreme Court is a wonderful institution when you decide in their favor and when you decide against them, it is an institution that is infamous." . I think this is a dangerous tendency because you cannot see the role or function of the Supreme Court from the point of view of evidence. Individual cases may result in your favor or against you. Judges have the right to decide independently on the basis of different cases. According to ANI, the Chief Justice said that the Bar and Bench are complementary to each other. We benefit from each other. We are here to learn from each other and work for the betterment of the judiciary. Ever since I became the Chief Justice, I have tried to make the Supreme Court a people's court. The apex court has tried to change the old ways by using technology. These include day-to-day tasks like obtaining court passes, e-filing and registering online attendance.
