Judiciary should be independent from politics and popular interests and judges should deliver justice as per law and not according to the opinion of the majority, Chief Justice of India (CJI) S H Kapadia said today.
“Apart from independence from politics, judiciary also needs independence from popular interest. If an order is not in favour of a particular group then the Judge faces backlash. An atmosphere is created whereby pressure is exerted on the Judge,” he said while presiding over the 9th Nani Palkhivala Memorial Trust Lecture here.
