Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Friday said that as a judge, he is a “servant” of the law and the Constitution and has to follow the position that has been laid down.
As soon as a bench headed by the CJI assembled for the day’s proceedings, advocate Mathews J Nedumpara mentioned a matter before the court.
The lawyer then told the bench, also comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, about the need for reforms in the collegium system as well as abolition of the senior advocate designation.
