Code of Conduct for Judges: “A Judge should behave with a certain degree of aloofness consistent with the dignity of his office. He should not commit any act or omission which is unbecoming of his high position and the public esteem of that office.”
Prime Minister Modi has told the whole world through a tweet that he participated in Ganesh Chaturthi Puja at the residence of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud. The whole of India was surprised by this incident. There has been no such tradition till now. Many legal experts and the opposition as well as the common people did not like this act of the Prime Minister and neither did they appreciate the generosity shown by the Chief Justice in this regard. Wearing a traditional Maharashtrian cap, PM Narendra Modi arrived at the residence of the Chief Justice of India in New Delhi on Wednesday. He was seen performing aarti and praying in front of the idol of Lord Ganesha. In the photo and video, the Chief Justice and his wife were also seen praying emotionally.
