CJI Chandrachud; Constitution has made rapid strides towards more just democratic society, but more work needs to accomplished
Declared the CJI,
“As a governing document, the Constitution has made rapid strides towards a more just democratic society, but much work remains to be accomplished before we can rest. The deep inequality which fractured our society at the time of Independence persists even today. The best way to make this inequality a distant dream of the past is to inculcate the spirit of the Constitution in our society. In this endeavour, there is no better place than you, my dear students,”
The Chief Justice of India (CJI) declared that despite the constitutionally protected rights to equality and nondiscrimination, the law had once again become lax.
In the Navtej Singh Johar case, he made a landmark ruling that IPC Section 377 was a “anachronistic colonial law” that infringed the fundamental rights to equality, freedom of expression, life, and privacy. He then highlighted this ruling.
Despite being more linked than ever before because to technology, CJI Chandrachud, who succeeded former CJI Uday Lalit, claimed that people were today living in a more separated environment as a result of social media.
