Offline Event on The Evolution of Indian Judiciary

In 2022, the Delhi High Court made headlines with a groundbreaking judgment that safeguarded the personality rights of none other than the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. And just a few days ago, Justice Chandra Dhari Singh, Delhi High Court, made a remarkable judgement, recognising that maternity rights are an integral part of a woman's identity. His statement echoed loudly in the hallowed halls of justice as he pronounced that maternity benefits should not be denied to contractual employees.

These cases represent a mere glimpse into the countless matters that land on a judge's desk. Whether it's the Supreme Court, a state's High Court, or the lower judiciary, judges deal with several challenges on a daily basis. It's no wonder that a solid and independent judiciary is the bedrock of any nation.

But what does it take for the judiciary to maintain its independence truly? What are the common challenges that judges face when deciding matters?

If you've been curious about the inner workings of the Indian judiciary, here's an outstanding opportunity to gain firsthand insights from none other than a distinguished former Judge, Justice Talwant Singh (Retd.)

With a storied career spanning the Delhi district courts, the Delhi High Court, and even the Supreme Court of India, Justice Talwant Singh (Retd) will shed light on how the legal system works.
