Students are committing suicide, what is the reason – CJI
CJI Chandrachud said, “Recently I read about the suicide of a Dalit student in IIT Bombay. It reminded me of the suicide of a tribal student at the National Law University in Odisha last year." The Chief Justice said that my sympathies are with the families of these students, but I am also concerned about where our educational institutions are headed – where students are being pressurized to end their precious lives. A student named Darshan Solanki allegedly committed suicide on February 12 at IIT Bombay. He said that he appeals to lay emphasis on the mental health of the lawyers and the mental health of the students.
Constitution gives power to speak – CJI
In the same month, he reached the convocation ceremony at Maharashtra National Law University in Nagpur, where he said that the constitution is a document that gives homegrown, self-governance, dignity and independence and the power to speak.

We have to speak on these rights. It was Justice Chandrachud who had decriminalized homosexuality, referring to which he said that a lot has been achieved but a lot remains to be achieved.
