You Keep Our Courts Strong”: Bar Association In Letter To Chief Justice DY Chandrachud

New Delhi: 

The All Manipur Bar Association has written to the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud highlighting the need to speak out against “underhanded attacks” on the judiciary.

The bar association in the letter said it is extremely concerned about recent trends where vested interest groups are trying to defame the courts with “frivolous logic” and “stale political agendas”.

“This heated interest group operates in various ways. They create false narratives of a supposed ‘better past’ and ‘golden period’ of the courts, contrasting it with the happenings in the present,” the bar association said in the letter to Chief Justice Chandrachud.These are nothing but intentional statements made to embarrass the courts for certain gains… Their pressure tactics are most obvious in political cases, particularly those involving political figures accused of corruption. These tactics are damaging to our courts and threaten our democratic fabric,” the bar association said in the letter dated March 26.
