Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud addressed criticism over his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Ganesh Puja, emphasizing that such gatherings focus on judicial infrastructure, not judicial matters. Chandrachud, set to retire in November, highlighted that routine interactions with government leaders address the need for new court buildings and judge accommodations. He stated, “We know our duties in the democratic system of governance,” adding that judicial independence remains protected. Similar meetings between Chief Justices and Chief Ministers, he noted, are customary across states to maintain productive dialogue.
