Gavai’s Call to Action: Overhaul Indian Judiciary, Embrace Global Expertise
Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud, in a recent address, highlighted the urgent need for substantial reforms within the Indian legal system. Trial delays, he stressed, remain a critical impediment to justice.
The CJI’s remarks came on Saturday, July 12, 2025, during an interaction with aspiring legal professionals. He urged newly minted lawyers to consider pursuing advanced studies abroad, leveraging available scholarships.
He further advised them to seek mentorship based on ethical integrity and professional excellence, rather than solely on the basis of influence or power. This, he believes, is crucial for building a more robust and just legal system.
This call for reform resonates deeply with the public’s growing concern over protracted legal battles and delayed justice. The CJI’s emphasis on global exposure and ethical mentorship offers a pathway towards a more efficient and equitable Indian judiciary, crucial for strengthening the nation’s rule of law.
