BuzzBytes New Delhi, November 28: In a notable moment of international legal collaboration, Chief Justices from several countries, including Ivory Coast, South Sudan, and Ghana, observed the proceedings of the Chief Justice of India’s court for approximately 30 minutes.
As the bench, consisting of D Y Chandrachud, and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, convened in the morning, Justice Chandrachud extended a warm welcome to the visiting dignitaries. He acknowledged their presence, stating, “We welcome our colleagues from the Ivory Coast, from South Sudan, from Kyrgyzstan, from Uzbekistan, from Tajikistan, from Cameroon, from Botswana, and from Ghana.”
After the initial welcome, the CJI-led bench took a brief break, allowing the overseas Chief Justices to transition to other courts for further observations. Justice Chandrachud indicated the plan, stating, “What we will do is, since our colleagues from overseas are going to go to court two, three, four, and five, we will rise for two minutes, escort them out and will come back in two minutes.”
Later in the day, some of the visiting Chief Justices continued their observations in various courts, including those presided over by Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sanjiv Khanna. This exchange of legal perspectives and international collaboration reflects the importance of sharing judicial experiences and fostering relationships across borders.
