CJI Dr DY Chandrachud in Madurai: Chief Justice of India Dr. DY Chandrachud said on Saturday in Madurai, Tamil Nadu that the Supreme Court represents the country. We are making a conscious effort to ensure that different High Courts and different regions of the country get representation in the Supreme Court.

Increase in the entry level pay of junior lawyers required

CJI Dr DY Chandrachud in Madurai said that I would like to throw light on three issues. Firstly, there is a need to increase the salary of junior lawyers at the entry level. Second, it is important to break stereotypes related to work culture. Third, there needs to be a strong relationship between the Bar and the Bench. He said that both of us are stakeholders of the judicial system and there should be a sense of trust in functioning and coordination.

At the same time, Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju, while denying any conflict between the government and the judiciary, said on Saturday that differences are inevitable in a democracy, but they should not be considered as conflicts. Rijiju said, we have differences, but that does not mean there is conflict. This sends a wrong message across the world. I want to make it clear that there is no problem between different parts of the country. These are signs of strong democratic functioning, not a crisis.

Centre will support independence of Indian Judiciary: Rijiju

Pointing to some media reports about alleged differences between the government and the Supreme Court or the legislature and the judiciary, the Union minister said, “We must understand that we are a democracy. There is bound to be some difference of opinion in terms of some points of view, but you cannot have conflicting views. It does not mean confrontation. We are the largest democracy in the world. He said that the Center will support the independence of the Indian judiciary. Describing the bench and the bar as two sides of the same coin, he called for working together and ensuring that the court premises are not divided. He said, one cannot exist without the other. There should be proper etiquette and friendly atmosphere in the court.
