NEW DELHI: Highlighting the problem of trolling “in an age where people are short on their patience and tolerance”, CJI D Y Chandrachud on Friday said that this is because people are unwilling to accept opinions and perspectives that are different from their own.
“Everything that we do – and believe me, as judges we are no exception to this – you face the threat of being trolled by someone who doesn’t share your point of view. We live in an age today where people are short on their tolerance – which has reminded me to be brief -– but people are also short on their tolerance because we are not willing to accept perspectives which are different from our own,” the CJI said.
Delivering a speech at the American Bar Association (ABA) India Conference 2023, Chandrachud called the legal profession patriarchal and feudal while voicing the need for reform in the same.
