Justice DY Chandrachud takes over as the CJI, expectations are high from the Bar. PRAVIN H PAREKH, president, the Indian Society of International Law and six-time president of the SCBA, goes down memory lane as he remembers the Chandrachud family and their contribution to the country’s jurisprudence.
Rarely has a chief justice assumed office in the midst of such hope. As he was sworn in by the President, CJI-designate Justice Dhananjaya Yashwant Chandrachud looked like a man in a hurry to get down to the task at hand. India Legal tracks his first day on the job.
The new CJI has made an indelible impression as an academic scholar and was part of benches which enhanced jurisprudence. His subtle but firm leadership will be a great demosprudential asset.
The Petitioner while calling the pricing announced by SII discriminatory i.e. Rs 400 and Rs 700, further prays to impose price ceiling of Rs 157 and make it available to both Government and Private hospitals.
