Over 600 lawyers, including prominent figures like Harish Salve and Manan Kumar Mishra, petition Chief Justice Chandrachud, citing concerns over external pressures on the judiciary. They denounce attempts to manipulate court decisions, tarnish the judiciary's reputation, and influence judicial processes with political agendas. Allegations include fabrication of false narratives, attempts at bench fixing, and political flip-flopping. Lawyers urge the Supreme Court to take decisive action to safeguard the rule of law. They warn against maintaining silence, calling for proactive measures to counter ongoing threats to the judiciary's independence.
