Chief Justice of India S H Kapadia today cautioned the Government against tinkering with the independence of judiciary. He admitted that sometimes judicial overreach disturbed the balance between three branches of state.
Speaking on the occasion of Independence Day celebrations in the Supreme Court, he said that the government may make law for making judges accountable and the judiciary is not afraid of that.

Justice S H Kapadia urged the Government that while bringing law, it should not lose sight of the concept of judicial independence.

The Chief Justice said that the government must take the opinion of various jurists and take into account various developments around the world before making law.

He cautioned judges against overreach, saying that rights and privileges are also there for other institutions
which should be respected.
