On Monday, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud asserted that on the judicial side, Supreme Court and HC judges work with the “fiercest sense of independence”, but when it comes to the administrative side, they stand together with the government.
Speaking after laying the foundation stone of the Bombay High Court’s new complex on land allotted by the Maharashtra government in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area, CJI Chandrachud noted the mega project was a collaboration between the state and the judiciary to provide modern infrastructure to citizens.
Stones from the existing British-era HC building in south Mumbai are to be included in the foundation.
