Justice DY Chandrachud reversed 2 decisions of the father
In 2017-18, Justice Chandrachud overturned the two decisions of his father, Adultery Law and Shivkant Shukla Vs ADM Jabalpur.
1. In the year 1985, a bench of then Chief Justice YV Chandrachud upheld Section 497 of the IPC in the Saumitra Vishnu case. At that time, the bench had written in its judgment – it is generally accepted that the man who is tempted to have a relationship is the man and not the woman.
Reversing this decision in 2018, a bench of Justice DY Chandrachud said - Adultery law is a codified rule of patriarchy. He said that autonomy should be given importance.
2. In the year 1976, in the Shivkant Shukla vs ADM Jabalpur case, the Supreme Court did not consider privacy as a fundamental right. Former CJI YV Chandrachud was also on that bench.
In 2017, the Supreme Court recognized privacy as a fundamental right. DY Chandrachud was also included in this bench. Chandrachud wrote in his decision – There were serious flaws in the majority decision in the ADM Jabalpur case. By accepting the Constitution, the people of India have not surrendered their life and personal liberty to the government.

3 statements of Justice Chandrachud, which remained in the discussion
We do not want the Supreme Court to be a date-to-date court. I have to get up at 3.30 am to read the case file. The judges are working hard, but the lawyers are not ready to argue their cases.
The imposition of government machinery to curb dissent instills a sense of fear. Calling dissent anti-national is an attack on democracy.
A different idea is like a safety valve in the pressure cooker of democracy. It cannot be tied to the strong force of the police, otherwise, it will explode.
Justice Chandrachud is a member of the Supreme Court Collegium. They have objected to the suggested names of CJI for SC judges. Apart from them, Justice Nazir has also objected to the method adopted in the CJI\'s letter dated October 1. However, he did not disclose any views against any candidate in it.
