The Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, voiced worry about a recent trend in which lawyers comment on ongoing cases and judgements. He stated that, while the judiciary can accept both praise and criticism, it is uncomfortable when legal practitioners forget their responsibilities as court officers.

Speaking during the High Court Bar Association of Nagpur`s centenary celebration, Justice Chandrachud emphasised the necessity of preserving the judiciary`s independence and dignity. He emphasised that lawyers` first allegiance should be to the court and the Constitution, rather than partisan interests, reported PTI.
