Recent days have seen some very scandalous allegations made against the probable future Chief Justice of India. They not only seem to be wholly and entirely fabricated, meritless and without any proof but also deeply scandalous and extremely problematic. The Honourable Chief Justice of the apex court of the land is a key constitutional position - one that embodies extraordinary constitutional gravitas and commands deep respect. Being the Chief of one of the three pillars --- namely of the Judiciary --- the Chief Justice’s position occupies an unequivocally important place in the relationship between the Legislature, the Executive, and the Judiciary.
