Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Law Minister Kiren Rijiju attended the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Gauhati High Court together. In this function organized on the occasion of completion of 75 years of Gauhati High Court, CJI Chandrachud said, "there should be discussion and dialogue between the judiciary and the executive instead of public appearances".

He said "The relationship between the executive and the judiciary on the administrative side should be marked with a strong constitutional polity. All the three organs like the executive legislature and the judiciary are engaged in nation building. But the trust of the citizens on the judicial side has to do with the wider meaning of judicial independence." The legitimacy of the judicial institution depends upon the trust of our citizens and that trust is determined by only one factor whether we would be the first and last choice for the citizens in times of crisis and need"

Speaking at the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Gauhati High Court, CJI highlighted the excellent work done by the High Court during the Emergency. The Gauhati High Court was established in the year 1948. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the President Draupadi Murmu also participated in the programme. Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court Sandeep Mehta has organized the fortnight-long function.

At the same event, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said, differences between the executive and the judiciary are an integral part of democracy and should not be called 'conflict'. Some elements do not want to see the progress of India and hence efforts are being made to show that there is a conflict between the judiciary and the executive.

He said, "As Law Minister it is the duty to uphold the law. Independence of Judiciary is paramount, sometimes we fall prey to similar discussions and debates. The CJI has made his mind clear that the executive, the legislature and the judiciary Relations between should be cordial. Some elements do not want to see India progress in today's online era. An attempt has been made to portray a situation where there is difference of opinion between the government and the judiciary. Difference of opinion is an integral part of democracy but It cannot be called a confrontation."

The Union Law Minister said, "The members of the Bar and the Judiciary have to work together. Judges and members of the Bar are two sides of the same coin. Without both there can be no justice."

The CJI and the Law Minister have however denied any clash while sharing the dais. But for some time, incidents of rhetoric have become common between the judiciary and the central government regarding the 'collegium system', the system of appointment of judges. The Law Minister has clearly underlined the lack of vision in the collegium system.
