Chief Justices have been in the minority in 13 significant judgments, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has said, standing by his recent ruling in the marriage equality case. He was speaking yesterday at the 3rd Comparative Constitutional Law discussion on 'Perspectives from the Supreme Courts of India and the United States', hosted by Georgetown University in Washington, DC
"I do believe it is sometimes a vote of conscience and a vote of the Constitution. And I stand by what I said," the Chief Justice said on the Supreme Court's October 17 judgment in which it stopped short of legalising same-sex marriages.
