CJI there are millions of cases are pending in Indian courts. Judges are being selected by recommendation not on merit based in India and there is 0%transparency on judges personal property and income. Any words on that? Indians are waiting back home. Please address these issues before you leave the CJI position. Happy holidays in the US.

Allowing Electoral bonds means legalizing bribery. The least we can do is to publish the list of donors with details of their donations. No one gives free money.

[mortisdeus]

50 million cases pending and you are on World tour. Nice

[BanshanMarwein]

Honourable CJI started speaking from 13:35 onwards, thank me later

[s.g]

Product of nepotism helped by his father's influence and judiciary coup d'etat through collegium . He will not agree for UPSC like exams for judges bcz his son appointment is due to come.

Gyan chidne se fursat mile to pending cases resolve kro milordu

[viewtrendingvideos]

Proud of you, CJI, we couldn't have had anyone better to lead our judicial system, may God guide you and bless you with great prudence.

[anuragmathur]

The most biased and hypocrite CJI of our country. 😒

[anshukumar]

Where were Ambedkarites when chandrachud said in a manner in which president had ultimate say in appointment of judges which we all know is not true . He is talking bs.

[Skumr_hivdD.]

1.3 billion people having only 35 judges in the Supreme Court?? It should be at least 150. Why, India has no money to pay remunerations?? Also high court and local courts increase the judges 10 times. In India suit takes 10 years to resolve!! Keep some standards

[rajeev]

Talking of women in forces, How many women work in chandrachud's security ?Also when he talks about gay rights, Is he only talking about Hindus or across the board?

[kamakshiyadav]

CJI goes to the biggest woke capital of the world😂

[dengxaoping]

Indian Judiciary needs reforms, and he is the Chief Justice because his father too was a Justice in the Supreme Court.

[anand]

SUCH A INTRODUCTION …… SOMEONE IS SUFFERING FROM ATTENTION DEFICIENCY SYNDROME

[MrSudheen]

The woke CJI who learnt wokeism in Harvard and is showing up through our throats and asses, he needs to understand India is a civilizational state and not a nation state in its traditional sense

[shawnbaj]

Live Stream of the proceedings n other events by CJI are remarkable. On the hands the corruption in Higher judiciary n lower judiciary has to be stopped. The fresh graduates must have to be looked up. Number of new Courts should be opened to clear up the backlog. Number of judges should be increased. Govt is wasting money on the wrong projects, it should increase the Funding on judiciary’s work. Please gear up the action.

At least judges are not involved in any type of crime.Can we ensure such a stringent criteria not to be involved in any criminal activities for politicians to be members of assemblies and house of people?Can we ask political parties not to give tickets to criminals?

Certainly we can't and if we can, it's not guaranteed whether they would listen us.At least our judiciary listen us.

Can we ask home ministry why they are delaying for months in forwarding name to president for appointment of judges despite of SC suggested names long time before.
Answer is NO.

And can we ask political parties to reveal the name of donors?
Hearing is going on this issue too.Being a voter it is our right to know how political parties are funded.

Indian judiciary is too evolving over time.And its good at least they are trying to get better by every means.

[ashutoshvyas]

No wonder, the CJI's father was also CJI. Can't call it a coincidence in a country of 1.4 billion people.

[SumitBhise-esrk]

Worst CJI in the history of Indian Judiciary machinary, as far as Hindu side is concerned.
