NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud<\/a> on Friday said that as a judge, he is a ”servant” of the law and the Constitution<\/a> and has to follow the position that has been laid down.<\/p>\n

As soon as a bench headed by the CJI assembled for the day’s proceedings, advocate Mathews J Nedumpara mentioned a matter before the court.<\/p>\n

The lawyer then told the bench, also comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, about the need for reforms in the collegium system as well as abolition of the senior advocate<\/a> designation.<\/p>\n

”You have the freedom to pursue your heart’s desire. As the Chief Justice of India<\/a>, but more importantly, as a judge first, I am a servant of the law and the Constitution,” Justice Chandrachud said.<\/p>\n

”I have to follow a position which has been laid down,” he said, adding, ”I cannot say this is what I like and I will do it.” In October this year, the apex court had dismissed a plea challenging the designation of lawyers as senior advocates, saying the petition was a ”misadventure” largely of one of the petitioners as he sought to carry on a ”vilification campaign” against all and sundry.<\/p>\n

In its verdict on a plea filed by Nedumpara and seven others, a bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul had said the designation as a senior advocate was a ”recognition of merit” by the court.<\/p>\n
