CJI DY Chandrachud Says Role of Judges Is To Serve People and Not Be Revered As 'Deities' in 'Temple of Justice'

Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud recently said that the role of judges is to serve public interest and not to be revered as deities. He also emphasised the dangers of equating judges with gods. CJI DY Chandrachud also expressed discomfort with the notion of the court being "temple of justice", which implies that judges occupy a deity-like position. "Too very often, we are addressed as Honour or as Lordship or as Ladyship. There is a very grave danger when people say that the court is a temple of justice. There is a grave danger that we perceive ourselves as the deities in those temples," he added. CJI DY Chandrachud made the remarks while addressing the inaugural session of the two-day East Zone II Regional Conference of the National Judicial Academy in Kolkata. CJI DY Chandrachud Says Indian Courts Have Come to Be Reimagined as Democratic Spaces of Discourse.
