CJI addresses Ganesh Puja controversy, says, ‘maturity in system to avoid discussing cases’

CJI said that in various states, it was customary for Chief Justices to meet with Chief Ministers. “You never meet for a judicial discussion. The maturity of our political system lies in the fact that there is a great deal of deference to the judiciary, even within the political class,” he added.The outgoing CJI pointed to the importance of addressing judicial infrastructure, including new court buildings and accommodation for judges. “For this, you need a meeting between the Chief Justice and the Chief Minister,” he said, recalling his experiences as Chief Justice in various High Courts.He stressed that these meetings are essential for maintaining a robust dialogue between the judiciary and the government.”We must understand that the work of all three branches is dedicated to the same goal—the betterment of the nation. As long as we trust this process, we must accept that there has to be continued dialogue,” he stated.He also mentioned that judges sometimes meet political leaders at social gatherings but never discuss their judicial work in those contexts.
