  "account": "Legal scholars have voiced contrasting opinions regarding former Supreme Court judge Sanjay Kishan Kaul's critique of ex-Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud's methodology in judicial appointments. A constitutional law expert, Rakesh Dwivedi, lauded Chandrachud's tenure as a \"glorious golden period\" for the Indian judiciary, dismissing Kaul's claim that Chandrachud was overly compliant with the government. Conversely, Vikas Singh, a former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association and senior advocate, endorsed Kaul's contention, arguing that Chandrachud's demeanor towards the government and the handling of sensitive cases raised doubts about his commitment to judicial independence.",
