Justice Kaul warns that former Chief Justice Chandrachud's perceived leniency in judicial appointments could threaten the independence of India's courts from the government.
Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul has expressed concerns about how former Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud dealt with the government. He believes Chandrachud was too lenient during the process of judicial appointments, which raises worries about the independence of the judiciary. This could potentially undermine the separation between the courts and the government, according to Kaul.
In India, the process of appointing judges involves the judiciary and the executive, and the balance between them is crucial for maintaining the separation of powers and an impartial judiciary.
