Justice SK Kaul's Memoir Explores Judicial Appointments and Collegium Dynamics
Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul's memoir, Without Fear or Favour, reflects on his nearly five decades in the Indian judiciary, including his experiences with the Supreme Court Collegium and judicial appointments. The book discusses his disagreements with former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, particularly regarding alleged executive influence in appointments. While Kaul critiques some internal processes, commentators note the memoir's impact on judicial collegiality and transparency. Chandrachud has refrained from detailed comment pending a full reading of the memoir.
