CJI Chandrachud discussed how something as a seed germinates into a theory, that cannot be tested on the anvil of rational science,however also talked about the advantages of how the technology has transformed the lives of judges.
Remembering the days of Covid,the CJI said Covid gave little options and the then CJI was worried about the closed doors for people seeking bail. It was then that our current CJI had advised him for starting video conferencing.
CJI added that video conferencing has led to decentralisation of justice and has become an important paradigm of access to justice.
The CJI proudly said that the video conferencing has prompted the equalization of justice and has connected Supreme Court to the smallest of villages, and not just Tilak Marg of Delhi.
