Judicial Integrity and Executive Dialogue

Yesterday, DY Chandrachud retired after a tenure as the longest-serving Chief Justice of India in over a decade. Beginning his judicial career as a Bombay High Court judge in 2000, he played a pivotal role in landmark decisions, including recognizing the right to privacy, de-criminalizing homosexuality, and striking down the electoral bond scheme.

Last week, he reflected on his career in a conversation with The Indian Express’ Vandita Mishra and Apurva Vishwanath. Today, we bring you an excerpt from that discussion, part of Express Adda, a series featuring individuals at the forefront of change.
