D Y Chandrachud

CJI Chandrachud cautioned against idolizing judges and highlighted the judiciary's role in public service during his address on Saturday.

Mr. Soren, who resigned as Jharkhand chief minister shortly before his arrest, has been in judicial custody at the Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi since January 31.

Overall, the Supreme Court's intervention has temporarily halted the implementation of the High Court's order, providing a reprieve for the affected individuals and highlighting the broader issues surrounding the appointment process in public institutions.

Chief Justice DY Chandrachud was speaking after inaugurating the 21st Biennial State Level Conference of Judicial Officers.

Justice Chandrachud, symbolizing the court's support, presented Pragya with three books on the Indian Constitution, signed by all the judges, as a token of encouragement.

The scheme was first announced in the 2017 Union Budget speech when Late Arun Jaitley was the Finance Minister.

The petitioner told the bench there was no limit on expenditure by political parties.
