Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, speaking at an event in Delhi ahead of his November 10 retirement, emphasized that judicial independence does not always mean ruling against the government. He shared how his decision to strike down the electoral bonds scheme was lauded as "very independent" but stated that a balanced judiciary must rule based on the law and Constitution, irrespective of the government's position. He also highlighted how societal pressures, including interest groups and social media, challenge judicial decisions. Chandrachud urged the public to trust judges to act with conscience and justice.
