Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday observed that it was dangerous to describe the court as a temple of justice and equate judges with gods.
Addressing the East Zone-II Regional Conference of the National Judicial Academy in Kolkata, he said, “Too very often, we are addressed as Honour or as Lordship or as Ladyship.
There is a very grave danger when people say that the court is a temple of justice.
It is a grave danger that we perceive ourselves as the deities in those temples.”
