RAISING ALARM TO DEFEND JUSTICE!

New Delhi: Over 600 lawyers, including senior advocate Harish Salve and Bar Council of India chairperson Manan Kumar Mishra, has written to the CJI, alleging that a “vested interest group” is trying to put pressure on the judiciary and defame courts “on the basis of frivolous logic and stale political agendas”. “Their pressure tactics are most obvious in political cases, particularly those involving political figures accused of corruption. These tactics are damaging to our courts and threaten our democratic fabric,” their letter, dated March 26, addressed to CJI D Y Chandrachud said.

The lawyers claimed that this ‘vested interest group’ was employing pressure tactics to influence judicial outcomes. “These actions pose a significant threat to the democratic fabric and the trust placed in judicial processes,” the lawyers said.
