In a striking display of boldness, the charismatic MP from Jharkhand delivered a pointed critique of the current CJI, assigning blame for ongoing controversies in the country directly to him. However, this outspoken moment sparked a swift backlash, as the BJP promptly distanced itself from his remarks, while the RSS voiced its discontent as well. The MP, known for his fiery rhetoric, was subsequently advised by party leaders to temper his comments and exercise caution in the future source says. Amidst this political turbulence, the vice president has also made waves with statements that have drawn criticism toward the Supreme Court, raising eyebrows about the influences behind his words.
These utterances have not only stirred controversy but have also positioned the government in a precarious spot, inviting unnecessary scrutiny source says. As the current CJI prepares to step down in the middle of next month, the reverberations of these contentious statements are expected to linger in the political landscape source observes. The forthcoming appointment of a new chief justice is viewed with anticipation, as the next in line is perceived as someone approachable, deeply attuned to public sentiment, and conscientious about the voices of those who feel marginalized. The government is keen to navigate its path carefully, prioritizing a harmonious relationship with the judiciary source says.
Recent rulings aimed at establishing a deadline for constitutional authorities in addressing bills from state legislatures signal to avoid any clashes with the court a source says. The successors to the CJI position, expected to hold the position until at least up to August 2030, are considered both wise and steadfast guardians of the Constitution, renowned for their non-controversial approaches source says. The government, fully aware of the stakes, is determined to honour and uphold the pillars of democracy, ensuring that it does not inadvertently provoke discord in its interactions with the judiciary source says.
