Chief Justice of India Justice Dr. DY Chandrachud at a Conclave said that the Judges of the Supreme Court of India are working more than any other Supreme Court in the world. He said that the Supreme Court of America works for 8-9 days in a month and only 80 days in a year, while there the court does not work for three months. Similarly, the High Court in Australia holds hearings for two weeks in a month. The bench sits for less than 100 days in a year. There is a two-month vacation of the court. Courts in Singapore work for 145 days in a year, but courts in Britain and India work for 200 days.

He further said that people do not know that judges in India spend most of their time on holidays writing judgments, which are kept safe because they do not have time for the whole week, they are busy in hearing cases. He further said that work of judges in the court is only a part of their work. He also said that every Saturday every judge of the Supreme Court reads out his judgment, which he has to pronounce on Monday, so all the judges of the Supreme Court work for seven days.

The CJI said on the pending cases in the court that it is true that we have more number of such cases but we are working on it and you can see that the number of pending cases has come down significantly.

Emphasizing on the use of Technology, he said - Our goal is to bring technology change in the judiciary. Like we did during the Covid times. We brought the entire system on video conferencing, but now we have to think beyond it. I want the citizens to know what is happening in the court, live streaming has been started. We have also started translation of orders through 'AI' (Artificial Intelligence) in all the Indian languages scheduled in the Constitution.

He also spoke on the question of external pressure on the court, and said, 'It has been 23 years since I worked as a judge, but till date no one has told me how to decide a case.' He said that there is no pressure on the judiciary from the government. SC's decision in the matter of appointment of Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners is proof that there is no pressure on the judiciary. There are many such matters, in which the Central Government and the State Governments are involved."

On the question being asked to the CJI about his idea of India he he said that my Idea of India is Importance of Separation of Powers in a Democracy,
