21 Retired Judges write to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dy Chandrachud

"We write to express our shared concern regarding the escalating attempts by certain factions to undermine the judiciary through calculated pressure, misinformation, and public disparagement. It has come to our notice that these elements, motivated by narrow political interests and personal gains, are striving to erode the public’s confidence in our judicial system...," reads the letter written by 21 retired judges.

"We are particularly concerned about the tactics of misinformation and the orchestration of public sentiment against the judiciary, which are not only unethical but also detrimental to the foundational principles of our democracy. The practice of selectively praising judicial decisions that align with one’s views while vehemently criticizing those that do not undermine the very essence of judicial review and the rule of law," reads the letter written by 21 retired judges.
