CJI Chandrachud Lacked Courage, Ducked Key Cases, Failed Rule of Law, His Tenure Utterly Forgettable

"I hope history does not remember Chief Justice Chandrachud and I hope his legacy is forgotten as quickly as possible": Dushyant Dave, leading lawyer and former President, Supreme Court Bar Association, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
..........................................
In what will feel like a damning indictment of Chief Justice Chandrachud, delivered at the start of his last week in office as Chief Justice of India, one of India’s foremost lawyers has said: “I hope history does not remember Chief Justice Chandrachud and I hope his legacy is forgotten as quickly as possible”. Asked if he was saying Chief Justice Chandrachud should be forgotten, Dushyant Dave replied “yes, absolutely”.
In a 45-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, to assess Justice Chandrachud’s performance both as a judge and Chief Justice of India as well as the administrative head of the Supreme Court, Dushyant Dave said: “He has disappointed very deeply … my expectations have been seriously belied.”
Mr. Dave said when the rule of law and democracy is in danger “Chief Justice Chandrachud not only failed but did not even attempt to succeed.”
In an interview two years ago in October 2022, recorded a couple of weeks before Justice Chandrachud took over as Chief Justice of India, Mr. Dave had said: “In politically sensitive matters he has not risen to levels expected of him.” Asked now if that has proven to be the case as Chief Justice, Mr. Dave said: “Definitely yes”. He said as Chief Justice, Justice Chandrachud “pandered to the party in power since 2014”.
Mr. Dave was particularly sharp and outspokenly critical while talking about the cases that Justice Chandrachud did not take up. He said “he talks a lot outside court” but his actions fall short.
Mr. Dave said there are “many cases where he’s deliberately ducked” adding “he did not have the courage” to take them up. These cases include challenges to the Citizenship Amendment Act, the Hijab case and several love jihad issues.
Mr. Dave said Justice Chandrachud bears “a great responsibility” for the fact people like Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam and many of the Bhima Koregaon accused have languished in jail for years without bail.
Speaking about Justice Chandrachud’s decision to take away the Collegium case regarding the appointment of judges by the government from Justice Sanjay Kaul, Mr. Dave said this “amounts virtually to contempt of Court”. He said Justice Chandrachud did this “to save embarrassment to the government” adding “it was shameful” and asserting that Justice Chandrachud “owes an explanation to the country”. Mr. Dave said this was clearly “dereliction of duty” and “against every cannon of judicial power”.
Speaking about the Article 370 judgement, Mr. Dave said the five judges headed by Justice Chandrachud “misdirected themselves in law” and the result was “a serious miscarriage of justice”. He said “the judgement is wrong”.
Speaking about the electoral bonds judgement wherein the bonds were declared unconstitutional and struck down but the Supreme Court stopped short of recovering the money or punishing anyone, Mr. Dave said this was a case of “operation successful, patient dead”. Mr. Dave clearly suggested that Justice Chandrachud “lacked courage” to take the matter to the required logical conclusion.
Mr. Dave suggested Justice Chandrachud was constantly seeking publicity, adding his appearances in the media “were second only to the Prime Minister”. He said India has never had a judge who is “as media savvy as him”. He said he believed the redesign of Lady Justitia i.e. removing her blind fold and replacing the sword with the constitution was done because it would appeal to the media.
I will stop there. As you can see there’s an awful lot in this interview that is sharp, stinging and even searing. However, it’s not just comments and criticisms. In each instance Mr. Dave backs up his critique with details and facts.
The interview also discusses things I haven’t mentioned in this press release i.e. the Ayodhya Judgement, Justice Chandrachud’s earlier judgements on homosexuality, adultery and Sabarimala as well as his 2017 criticism of his father’s judgement in the ADM Jabalpur case which Justice Chandrachud called “seriously flawed”. Mr Dave clearly says that in these instances Justice Chandrachud was probably moved by the fact that these verdicts would go down well with public opinion and was therefore “sailing with the wind”. There are also questions about the electoral officer in Chandigarh and the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar case.

[@SSsuits]

Yes... CJI Chandrachud, you will be remembered in history, but for these reasons: * For co-writing / co-authoring the Babri Masjid judgment, and then not having the courage to sign the judgment. * For declaring electoral bonds illegal and then ensuring that neither the money was recovered nor anyone was punished. * For calling the Chandigarh election officer a criminal and then taking no action against him. * For declaring the Shinde/Fadnavis/Ajit Pawar government illegal, declaring the governor's actions illegal, and then allowing the same government to continue for the remainder of its term without taking any concrete decision. Sending the matter back to the illegal speaker and allowing him to make illegal decisions. * Instead of asking Adani Enterprises to sue Hindenburg in U.S. courts, you made Hindenburg Research a party to the investigation, and then, based on your 'expert' panel's final report, considered the Adani Enterprises as clean, rather than demanding an investigation of Hindenburg's allegations by a team of 'experts'. * For shielding yourself on the constitutional validity of the removal of Article 370 and then ruling that the decision was appropriate, overlooking the fact that it happened when the state assembly (a legal entity that should have been consulted) was suspended and under President's rule... leading to an odd situation where the President of India consulted with the President of India to decide that Article 370 should be abrogated. * You will also be remembered for allowing young Muslims like Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid, Khalid Saifi, and Gulfisha Fatima to remain in jail, ruining their youth. They are repeatedly being denied bail because they are neither rich nor powerful but simply because they are Muslims, fighting for the rights of Muslims. * You will be remembered for letting the accused in the Bhima Koregaon case rot in jail, for the death of Father Stan Swamy, and ultimately for the death of Professor G.N. Saibaba. Even though credible forensic evidence showed that the entire case was false, based on fabricated evidence by the police and politicians. These are some of the legacies you are leaving behind. In the end, opinions may differ on whether you did anything good for the judiciary or completely failed in it. Yes, before leaving, you did remove the blindfold from the eyes of the Goddess of Justice. Justice used to be blind, but now it will see who is the oppressed and who is the oppressor... and "justice" will be done accordingly. You will also be remembered for this new tradition. But you did not honour the old tradition of the judiciary. You truly broke the practice of delivering justice according to the spirit of the Constitution. You did not decide the Babri Masjid case based on evidence but based on 'devotion to God and a direct connection with God', believing that God showed you the right path. CJI Chandrachud, you will be remembered for all these reasons and for the fact that you flattered to deceive. These are now part of history, which cannot be changed, like water that has flowed in the Ganges. Remember that history will not be kind to you. And yes... you will also be remembered for performing a puja with the Prime Minister at a private ceremony, with a cameraman accompanying you.

[@biswanathbhandari7028]

While making a dispassionate assessment of the performance of Mr Chandrachud as the CJI.we need to place him in the context of his immediate predecessors. In clear comparison, we ought to appreciate the moves he has made and the changes he has brought about within a system suffering from a frigid state of stratification. He was no Hercules it is true but he has succeeded moderately, of course. He has given a much required push to a system of regimentation. His reformatory zeal is remarkable. It was an Augean stable which he was staggeringly confronted with. In case of the electoral bonds scams, to declare that it is unconstitutional requires moral guts. The verdict is not taken to its logical conclusion it is true but it placed the arrogant regime in its true colours for the electorate to draw their own conclusion and this time they did it correctly by clipping the wings of arrogance. Lastly, however we may try to do, it will always be, petty done undone vast. Browning strikes the true cord for us.😮😮

This is indeed an enlightening discussion. My admiration for the senior Supreme Court Advocate, Dushyant Dave Ji, has enhanced. He is utterly honest and courageous in his assessment. Many people had high expectations from the CJI when he assumed the office. But, some of the judgements, as pointed in this discussion, are disappointing. The people of the country hold the judges in high esteem. But, things are not going in the right direction. How could a young scholar like Omar Khalid languish in jail for years without trial? This speaks so poorly of our judicial system.

[@harishchandrasrivastava8065]

Dushyant Dave ji's observation on CJI Chandrachud contains true weight with logical facts. Sheshan's herculean effort to bring the strong " "Free and Fare conducting Agency" status, has been badly lowered by present CJI and others after 2014 by acting as government's Agency instead fare and free poll conducting agency.
