SC vs Centre: PM Modi welcomes CJI's idea of making SC judgments available in regional languages

Amid the ongoing tussle between the centre and the judiciary over appointment of judges, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded CJI DY Chandrachud's emphasis on making the top court’s judgments available in regional languages.

"At a recent function, the Hon'ble CJI Justice DY Chandrachud spoke of the need to work towards making SC judgments available in regional languages. He also suggested the use of technology for it. This is a laudatory thought, which will help many people, particularly youngsters," Modi wrote on Twitter and shared on the site the relevant clip of the CJI's speech delivered at an event organised by the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa in Mumbai.

The Prime Minister’s tweet came just hours after law minister, Kiren Rijiju launched a fresh attack on the Supreme Court, by sharing an interview of a retired high court judge who said apex court has ‘hijacked’ the Constitution by deciding to appoint judges itself.
