This letter by Anil Divan highlights a significant remark by Justice YV Chandrachud regarding the role of the judiciary and government power. Justice YV Chandrachud emphasised that if unlimited governmental authority is used for the welfare of the common man rather than undermining seniority, the nation’s future would be bright. This statement, reported in Marathi newspapers, was seen as an indirect criticism of the central government. Divan argues that the judiciary’s silence on the controversial supersession of judges does not indicate support for the government’s actions but rather a preference to avoid public debate on the issue.
