Amidst Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, a clash between PM Modi and CJI during a Ganpati puja sparks concerns about judicial independence and ethical standards. Justice Prashant Bhushan’s criticism highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the judiciary to maintain public trust.

Ganesh Chaturthi festivities are in full swing around the nation, bringing communities together in celebration. But amidst the joyous occasions, a recent event has sparked a debate on judicial conduct and the independence of the judiciary.

Supreme Court Justice DV Chandrachud led the Ganpati puja for the idols, joined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who sported a traditional Maharashtrian topi for the occasion. Both leaders offered prayers for blessings of happiness, success, and health to Lord Vighneshwara.

Pictures from the event shared by the Prime Minister on social media captured moments of unity and reverence. However, not everyone was pleased with the public display of camaraderie.

Justice Prashant Bhushan raised concerns about the private interaction between the PM and CJI during the puja, criticizing them for potentially breaching judicial conduct codes. Bhushan’s comments reflect a broader sentiment of growing unease about the erosion of public trust in the judiciary.

In a video shared by Bhushan, he emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and ethical standards within the judicial system. The incident has brought to light the delicate balance between personal relationships and professional obligations in upholding the credibility and integrity of the judiciary.

As discussions around the incident continue, it serves as a reminder of the need to uphold the principles of impartiality and independence in the judicial system. Transparency and ethical conduct are crucial in maintaining public confidence and ensuring the fair administration of justice.
