Last week, at an engaging session of *Express Adda*, Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud

addressed various legal and societal issues, offering insightful perspectives on contemporary

debates. Known for his progressive judgments, Justice Chandrachud discussed the evolving role

of the judiciary in a rapidly changing society and how it strives to uphold constitutional principles

amid technological advancements and increasing public expectations.

One key topic was the judiciary's response to transparency and accountability, especially given the

growing public scrutiny of the courts. Justice Chandrachud emphasized the need for the judiciary

to adapt to an increasingly digital world, where legal processes are influenced by data privacy

concerns and artificial intelligence. He reiterated the court's commitment to safeguarding civil liberties,

explaining that "judicial independence is the bedrock of democracy," and highlighted the ongoing

efforts to balance individual rights with societal interests.

Another focal point of his talk was judicial access and reform, particularly in ensuring that justice

reaches marginalized groups. Justice Chandrachud detailed recent initiatives aimed at simplifying

court processes, making legal resources available online, and reducing the backlog of cases that

hinder timely justice.

He also reflected on landmark judgments that have shaped India's legal landscape, including decisions

related to privacy, equality, and environmental protection. He discussed the importance of upholding

values such as inclusivity and social justice within the judicial framework, urging the creation of a

legal ecosystem that reflects the diverse voices of India.

The event underscored Justice Chandrachud's vision for a judiciary that remains steadfast in its

constitutional values while being dynamic enough to meet the demands of modern India, where

court decisions profoundly influence public discourse and policy.
