I’m a lay citizen who has never set foot in the Supreme Court, but has closely followed the judgements of all the courts, from the trial courts to the apex court, for three decades. I’m someone who has witnessed the transactions of courts played out in lawyers’ offices on a daily basis for longer than I can remember.
Which is why I am concerned about senior advocate Siddhartha Dave’s derision of criticism of the Chief Justice of India. (See Dave’s piece here, which is in response to a Newslaundry piece by Jayashree Arunachalam.)
