More than 600 senior lawyers including former Solicitor General of the country Harish Salve have written a letter to Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud. It says the judiciary is under threat and needs to be protected from political and business pressure.
The lawyers wrote that an attempt is being made to weaken judicial integrity. We are the people who work to uphold the law. We believe that we have to stand up for the courts. Now is the time to come together and raise our voice. It’s time to speak against those who are attacking from hiding. We must ensure that the courts remain the pillars of democracy. These calculated attacks should not have any impact on them.

Due to these actions of theirs, the atmosphere of harmony and trust that characterizes the judiciary is being spoiled. Pressure tactics are common in political matters, especially in cases in which a politician is accused of corruption. These tactics are damaging our courts and threatening the democratic structure.
This special group works in many ways. They refer to the golden past of our courts and compare them with today’s events. These are merely deliberate statements to influence decisions and put the courts in jeopardy for political gain.
It is troubling to see that some lawyers fight a politician’s case during the day and go to the media at night to influence the decision. They are also creating the theory of bench fixing. This action is not only disrespect to our courts but also defamation. This is an assault on the dignity of our courts.
Honorable judges are also being attacked. False things are being said about him. They have stooped so low that they are comparing our courts with those countries where there is no law. Our judiciary is being accused of unjust proceedings.
