CJI DY Chandrachaud will be remembered for;

Co-Writing / Co-authoring the Ram Mandir verdict and then not having the guts to sign the verdict.

Calling the Electoral Bonds illegal and then ensuring that neither the money was recovered nor anyone punished.

Calling the Election Officer of Chandigarh elections as a criminal and then not taking any action against him.

Calling the Shinde/Fadnavis/Ajit Pawar Government illegal, the acts of Governor illegal and then allowing the same government to continue for the rest of the term without taking any concrete decision on it, tossing it back to the illegal speaker and allowing him to take decisions that were illegal.

Calling for a probe by a team of 'experts' into the Hindenburg allegations, instead of asking Adani Enterprises to sue Hindenburg in US Courts, instead of making Hindenburg Research as a party to the probe and then accepting the final report of this 'expert' panel as gospel truth and giving Adani Enterprises a clean-chit.

Dragging his feet on the constitutional validity of removal of Article 370 and then deciding that the decision was proper, ignoring the fact that the removal happened when the state assembly, a legal entity that was to be consulted, was in suspended animation and the President of India was ruling the state. This led to a strange situation where the President of India consulted President of India and decided that article 370 should be abrogated.

He will also be remembered in allowing the continued incarceration of Umar Khalid, a man who is being denied bail, because he is neither rich, nor powerful and because he is a Muslim.

He will also be remembered for allowing the accused in Bhima Koregaon case remaining in jail, the death of Father Stan Swamy and the ultimate death of Prof. G.N. Saibaba, in the face of credible forensic evidence that the entire case was false, based on planting of evidence by police and politicians.

These are some of the legacies that he leaves behind.

In the end, opinion will remain divided on whether he did any good for the justice system or failed it.

Yes, in the end, he unveiled the statue of lady justice holding a book and with her eyes open.

Yet, he did not really honor the letter and spirit of the constitution, by delivering justice based not on evidence but on his prayers to god and his direct connect to god, who he believes showed him the right path.

CJI DY Chandrachaud, you will be remembered for all this and more and for the fact that you flattered to deceive.

All of the above is now part of history, which can not be changed, it is water that has flown under the bridge. History will not be kind to you.
