How Courts Decide: Justice D.Y. Chandrachud on Law, Rights & Democracy | The Faye D’Souza Show

In this landmark episode of The Faye D’Souza Show, former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud joins Faye for one of his most open and wide-ranging conversations yet. He talks about the state of India’s justice system, the reasons behind long delays in courts, why he believes bail should be the norm rather than the exception, and whether political pressure affects high-profile cases. He also breaks down the realities behind judicial vacancies, how the collegium works, and why the Ayodhya judgment carries no named author. The conversation moves into how courts should respond to crises like Delhi’s air pollution, the purpose and future of reservation, and why the Constitution remains secular with or without the word appearing in it. Justice Chandrachud also speaks personally about the pressures of judgeship, why many good lawyers choose not to become judges, the problem of inadequate judicial salaries, and what life feels like after leaving the bench. He reflects on faith, loss, and the role empathy plays in shaping a judge’s understanding of the world. This is a rare, thoughtful and deeply human conversation with one of India’s most influential judicial voices, offering an intimate look at law, rights, power and the future of justice in the world’s largest democracy. #DYChandrachud #TheFayeDSouzaShow #JusticeChandrachud #IndianJudiciary #SupremeCourtOfIndia #AyodhyaVerdict #JudicialReforms #BailLaw #PendencyCrisis #CollegiumSystem #IndianConstitution #DelhiAirPollution #ReservationDebate #SecularismInIndia #LawAndJustice #InDepthConversation #FayeDsouza Research: Ajit Andhare & Ira Jha Faye Manger: Shruti Somaiya Show Producer: Ira Jha Show editor: Shiva Singh Hair: Sangeeta Kusum Udmale Makeup: Sakshi 0:00- Promo 0:21 - Introduction 1:40- “I anticipated it”: D Y Chandrachud on being called one of the most debatable CJIs of India 3:08– “Are you a liberal judge or a conservative judge?” 7:12 – “Does the social media criticism affect you after a judgment?” 9:05 – How do you balance between people’s opinions and staying true to the provided facts while making a judgment? 16:34 – “Do you track if your judgments are implemented?” 19:45 – Dowry vs alimony 22:32 – Why does India not have laws that split a couple’s property equally after divorce? 24:54 – How important was the Shah Bano judgment for women’s rights? 29:28 – “What does it feel like to see your judgment being overturned?” 33:39 – Why was the Abrogation of 370 heard so late by the Supreme Court? 36:10 – Is there an attempt to reach a consensus when you are sitting on a larger bench of 3 to 5 judges? 42:50 – Why was the author of the Ayodhya judgment not disclosed? 45:00 – “Do you carry home the weight of your judgments?” 47:50 – Who are judges accountable to? 51:45 – How do courts decide whether a matter needs their attention, or it belongs to the legislature? 58:22 – “You as CJI were their hope”: Legalisation of same-sex marriage 1:00:48 –Are our courts the reason why our democracy is still functioning? 1:04:52 – Bar to the bench: An anecdote by Justice D Y Chandrachud 1:06:00 – “Marital rape is an unconstitutional provision”: Justice D Y Chandrachud 1:10:23 – Sonam Wangchuk’s arrest vs Asaram Bapu’s bail: Why does law work differently? 1:13:10 – Is there political pressure on different cases depending on the person coming before the court? 1:16:41 – Is the lack of infrastructure and financial support the reason why there are so many cases pending with the Indian judiciary? 1:21:57 – Mehul Choksi’s tidied-up jail photos vs the actual abysmal conditions of Indian jails 1:25:32 – Why don’t we have enough judges? 1:27:05 – Is there a need to make the selection of judges a transparent process? 1:39:06 – Should the courts step into the matter of Delhi’s air pollution? 1:44:46 – Justice D Y Chandrachud on the recent debate over the Supreme Court vs Dogs 1:51:02 – Reservation: Merit or anti-merit? 2:01:03 – “Doctors of marginalised communities go back to serve their communities, unlike the privileged population” 2:02:25 – Was the word “secular” never meant to be in our Constitution? 2:08:36 – How much money do judges make? 2:13:00 – What does happen to a Supreme Court judge after retirement? 2:14:09 – A CJI has to give up perks like the house after retirement? 2:15:16 – “Are you a nepo baby as your father was a CJI too?” 2:18:12 – Is it hard to go from being a CJI to a regular citizen of India? 2:19:39 –“Do you believe in God?” 2:27:14 – How do you separate your religious sentiments from court proceedings to give an impartial judgment? 2:29:29 – “So you’re aware that lawyers go out and make fun of you?” 2:29:43 – End
