A group of legal experts, led by Harish Salve and Manan Kumar Mishra, has raised concerns about external pressures on the Indian judiciary. In a letter to Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, they allege that certain individuals are attempting to influence court decisions, particularly in political cases, tarnishing the judiciary’s reputation. The lawyers denounce tactics aimed at undermining public trust in the courts and urge the Supreme Court to safeguard judicial integrity. While not citing specific cases, the letter coincides with heightened scrutiny over corruption allegations involving opposition leaders. The legal community calls for decisive action to protect the judiciary from undue influence, emphasizing the importance of the Chief Justice’s leadership in preserving judicial autonomy.
