Justice chandrachud daughter

NEW DELHI: Mahi and Priyanka had a constant refrain that their family time with foster father, Justice D Y Chandrachud, had been shrinking since he took oath as the 50th Chief Justice of India on November 9 and that used to hurt him a lot. No amount of explanation by the CJI about the massive increase in workload as head of the judiciary would convince the two differently-abled daughters, with whom he and his wife Kalpana are very attached. To make them realise about his work and understand how the courts dispense justice, the CJI on Friday decided to give his foster daughters a guided tour of his chamber as well as the CJI's courtroom, the largest in the SC. The daughters first visited his chamber which comprises a huge office room with two adjacent small ante-rooms, all located behind the CJI's courtroom. The daughters were surprised to see so many Registrars queueing in to take directions on various administrative issues from the CJI. Before commencing judicial work at 10.30am, the CJI accompanied the two electric wheelchair-bound daughters to enter the courtroom through the lawyers' entry gate, much to the surprise of the assembled lawyers. The CJI, dressed in casuals, told his daughters where he sits while dispensing justice and adjudicating disputes. The high dais of judges and the crowd of lawyers ready with their case files and electronic tablets to argue the cases of their clients left a mark on the two daughters. Though they understood the workload and the workin...

Yeshwant Vishnu Chandrachud (12 July 1920 – 14 July 2008) was an Indian jurist who served as the 16th Iron Hands after his well-regarded unwillingness to let anything slip past him. Tenure as Chief Justice of India [ ] Justice Chandrachud was appointed Chief Justice of India during the term of the Janata government, under Prime Minister "Though the entire judicial system was pressured to conform, the ruling party zeroed its attack on the pater familias. Unlike Justice Bhagwati, who was labeled as a Congress (I) man for his laudatory letter to Mrs. Gandhi, Chief Justice Chandrachud had a very low rating with the ruling household. Appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India by the Janata government – a disqualification in itself under the new regime – Chandrachud had not exactly endeared himself to the Gandhis for sending Sanjay to jail in 1978 or for turning volte face during the Janata period. By mid-1981, the estrangement between Chandrachud and the ruling party was so great that Ashoke Sen, a Congress (I) MP and the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, even hinted at his impeachment by Parliament. Undaunted, the Chief Justice continued to defend the judiciary against executive interference and called upon the Bench and Bar to be united as this was 'the only way we could fight the provocation and attack on the judges'….Throughout 1980, the Chief Justice had refused to submit to pressures and made the government appoint eight chief justices to High Cou...
