‘No need for cold calling…’: CJI Chandrachud defends Justice Gowri's appointment

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, responding to questions at Harvard Law School, defends the appointment of Justice Victoria Gowri,

A video of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud is doing rounds on the internet in which he was asked about the appointment of Justice Victoria Gowri. &nbsp;The interaction took place at Harvard Law School on October 21, at that time, a person asked him about the appointment of Justice Gowri, who was accused of making hate speeches against religious minorities.&nbsp;
CJI Chandrachud cleared the air about this and said that people should not be cold-calling individuals for their views which they may have held as lawyers.&nbsp;
In his answer, &nbsp;CJI said, &ldquo;I am not sure whether we should be cold calling an individual merely for the views, which they may have held as lawyers, because I do believe that there is something in our profession, of judging, that once you assume judicial office, whether it is the peer training, the training which you undergo as judges, your experience as judge.&rdquo;
Chief Justice also said, &ldquo;Lawyers don't choose their clients. In fact, it is my firm belief that as a lawyer, you are duty-bound to appear for whoever comes to you in search of legal aid, much as a doctor has to administer medical aid to whoever comes to their clinic. You don't presume the guilt or the lack of guilt of people who come to you&rdquo;
CJI also said that when a judge is appointed, the process of appointing them is a broad-based collaborative process in which no one arm of the state has a role to play.&nbsp;
For those unaware, Justice Gowri was a BJP functionary and she was appointed as Madras High Court judge in February this year.

CJI Chandrachud reacts to Ranjan Gogoi's 'structure of constitution..' remark

Former CJI's statement made in the upper house on August 7 caused a flutter.&nbsp;

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Tuesday remarked that once judges demit office whatever they say is just opinion and is not binding, after former CJI Ranjan Gogoi's comments that the basic structure doctrine was debatable was flagged in the Supreme Court.
On Monday, Justice (retd) Gogoi, now a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, while participating in a debate on the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, said, "There is a book by (TR) Andhyarujina, the former solicitor general, on the Kesavananda Bharati case." "Having read the book, my view is that the doctrine of the basic structure of the Constitution has a very debatable jurisprudential basis. I would not say anything more than this." In the landmark Kesavananda Bharati verdict of 1973, the top court had propounded the basic structure doctrine of the Constitution and held that certain fundamental features such as democracy, secularism, federalism and rule of law cannot be amended by Parliament.
During the hearing on Tuesday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for National Conference leader Mohd Akbar Lone who has challenged the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution which had accorded special status to erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, referred to Justice Gogoi's statement made in the Upper House.

The Collegium's recommendations, if accepted by the Centre, will raise the total number of judges in the apex court to 33 against the sanctioned strength of 34 including the CJI
