Judges not deities, dangerous to think of court as temple of justice: CJI Chandrachud

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud observed that it was dangerous to describe the court as a temple of justice and equate judges with deities. Addressing a conference in Kolkata, he said, "Too very often...we're addressed as Honour or as Lordship or as Ladyship." "I'd rather recast the role of...judge as a server of the people," CJI Chandrachud added.
