India Today Conclave 2023: “I respect his perception and I am sure he has a great deal of respect for ours as well,” said CJI Chandrachud about law minister Kiren Rijiju.
Chief Justice of India Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud said that it was just a difference in perception when it comes to what Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju said about the Information Bureau’s report that was made public. CJI Chandrachud was speaking at the India Today Conclave 2023, in what is the first such appearance of a sitting Chief Justice of India.
“He has a perception, I have a perception and there’s bound to be a difference in perception. And what’s wrong about having a difference in perceptions? We have to deal with differences in perception even within the judiciary,” said CJI Chandrachud that was received with a thunderous applause from the audience.
“I respect his perception and I am sure he has a great deal of respect for ours as well. The reason we put it on the website was in pursuance of the desire of the present collegium to meet the criticism that we lack transparency and a genuine belief that opening up our processes will foster greater confidence among citizens about the work which we do,” said the Chief Justice.
