Published by Webster

New Delhi: Having started practising law nearly 30 years ago and then retiring as the longest-serving Chief Justice of India in over a decade, Justice DY Chandrachud did not only get a ringside view of how courts function but also helped shape jurisprudence in the country with a string of important judgments, including on electoral bonds, the validity of Article 370 and same-sex marriage.  On Wednesday, the former Chief Justice sat down for a wide-ranging interview with NDTV in which he spoke about everything from how he almost became an economist and the paltry fees he got for his first case to the criticisms levelled against judges and the Supreme Court. Justice Chandrachud also addressed a colleague’s remarks of him being harsh on a former judge of the Supreme Court and spoke about the need for revisiting and overturning earlier judgments – even those by his father and former Supreme Court Chief Justice YV Chandrachud.

Published by Parlour News

A day after the Enforcement Directorate lodged a case of alleged money laundering against him in connection with the reported scam in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Tuesday the action by the Central agency was difficult to understand as no exchange of money was involved. “I don’t know on what grounds a money laundering case has been filed. In my view, there is no money laundering involved and most people must be seeing it that way. There is no money laundering because the (14 housing) sites have been given as compensation,” Siddaramaiah said. “Let them do what they want as per the law… I am working according to my conscience.
