CJI Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud became agitated once again. His judgments are thought-provoking at times. Recently, despite being on vacation, the CJI had to intervene in the judgment given by the Allahabad court in a case. The Chief Justice intervened on the manglik order passed by the High Court for the rape survivor. The CJI ordered the Supreme Court Registry to set up a bench to hear the case.
Allahabad High Court ordered to examine the horoscope of the rape victim. The Chief Justice of India had to intervene even though he was abroad to find out if she was a Manglik. The action taken by the CJI is extraordinary. Because the Supreme Court was given summer vacation. No hearings were held on Saturdays and Sundays.
The CJI learned about the Allahabad High Court’s order this morning and ordered the formation of a bench to look into the matter. There was a commotion in the courtrooms. Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Pankaj Mithal held a special meeting and stayed the High Court orders.
