Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on February 24 said both India and Bangladesh share the tradition of constitutional and judicial systems largely aiming to ensure stability and both nations recognised their constitutions as “living documents.”
“Our shared tradition aims to ensure stability, but when stability is desired, the stability must never be confused with stagnation,” Mr. Chandrachud said as he spoke at the valedictory function of a two-day conference here in the presence of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was the chief guest.
“We recognise our constitutions are living documents. The constitutions of Bangladesh and India proclaim that they are 'given to the people by the people themselves' as citizens of sovereign nations,” Mr. Chandrachud said.
