Polycentric Nature of the Supreme Court: A Strength According to CJI Chandrachud

Introduction

The Supreme Court of India is the highest court in the country and has the power to interpret the
Constitution and adjudicate on all matters of law. It is also the final court of appeal for all cases
decided by lower courts.

The Supreme Court is composed of a Chief Justice and a number of judges, who are appointed
by the President of India. The judges of the Supreme Court are drawn from all over the country,
and they bring with them a diversity of experiences and perspectives.

Each of these centers of power plays an important role in shaping the Supreme Court. The Chief
Justice is the head of the Court and has the power to assign cases, set the Court’s agenda, and
preside over hearings.

The other judges are responsible for deciding cases and interpreting the law. The bar is the group of lawyers who practice before the Court and play a vital role in representing the interests of their clients. The public is the ultimate source of the Court’s legitimacy and has the power to hold the Court accountable for its decisions.

The media plays a role in informing the public about the Court’s work and in shaping public opinion about the Court. The poly-centric nature of the Supreme Court is one of its biggest strengths. It allows the Court to draw on a wide range of perspectives and expertise in making its decisions. It also helps to
ensure that the Court is responsive to the needs of the people it serves.

The Poly-Centric Nature of the Supreme Court

The polycentric nature of the Supreme Court refers to the fact that it is not a monolithic institution. Rather, it is a body of judges who come from different backgrounds and have different views on the law.

This diversity of thought is one of the Supreme Court’s greatest strengths, as it allows it to consider all sides of an issue before making a decision. In a recent speech, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud spoke about the importance of the polycentric nature of the Supreme Court.

He said that the Court is “not a monolithic institution, but rather a collection of different centers of power and influence.” He went on to say that “each of these centers of power plays an important role in shaping the Court.”

Chief Justice Chandrachud also spoke about the importance of the public in shaping the Court.
He said that “the public is the ultimate source of the Court’s legitimacy.” He went on to say that
“the Court must be responsive to the needs of the people it serves.”

The Importance of Diversity

Diversity is important in any institution, but it is especially important in a court of law. This is
because the law is supposed to be applied equally to everyone, regardless of their background or
beliefs.

By having a diverse group of judges, the Supreme Court can ensure that the law is
applied in a fair and impartial manner.

The Poly-Centric Nature in Action

The poly-centric nature of the Supreme Court has been evident in a number of recent cases. For
example, in the case of Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, the Supreme Court struck down a
the law that criminalized same-sex relationships.

This decision was made possible by the fact that the judges on the bench came from different backgrounds and had different views on the law.

Some of the judges were religious, while others were not. Some of the judges were from urban
areas, while others were from rural areas. This diversity of thought allowed the judges to
consider all sides of the issue before making a decision.

Conclusion

The poly-centric nature of the Supreme Court is one of its greatest strengths. This diversity of
thought allows the Supreme Court to consider all sides of an issue before making a decision.
This is essential in a court of law, where the law is supposed to be applied equally to everyone,
regardless of their background or beliefs.

Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has spoken eloquently about the importance of the polycentric
nature of the Supreme Court. He has reminded us that the Court is not a monolithic institution,
but rather a collection of different centers of power and influence.

He has also reminded us that the public is the ultimate source of the Court’s legitimacy and that the Court must be responsive to the needs of the people it serves.
