Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, speaking at India Today Conclave 2023 on Saturday, asserted a judge's sexual orientation had "nothing to do" with their ability. The statement came when he was answering questions on the country's collegium system for judicial appointments and the row over the Supreme Court Collegium's reiteration of openly gay advocate Saurabh Kirpal's appointment to the Delhi High Court.
