Dissent’s date with judicial apathy: Why the courts turned away CJP protesters
The Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea from protesters advocating for the Chief Justice of India (CJI) to resign, citing lack of jurisdiction. This decision reflects a broader trend of judicial apathy towards dissent, raising concerns about the protection of democratic rights. Legal experts warn that such dismissals could undermine public trust in the judiciary's role as a guardian of constitutional freedoms.
