The lawyers said in the letter to Chief Justice Chandrachud that leaders accuse someone of corruption and then defend the same in the court. When the decision is not as per their wish, they criticize the court inside the court or through the media. This is strange. This group praises or criticizes the court’s decisions as per its political agenda.
Lawyers said that this group believes in the theory of ‘my way or the highway’. The theory of bench fixing was also coined by this group. Apart from Harish Salve, the lawyers who have written letters to the CJI include Manan Kumar Mishra, Adish Aggarwal, Pinky Anand, Chetan Mittal, Ujjwala Pawar, Swaroopama Chaturvedi and Hitesh Jain.
