“You are as much members of the judiciary as judges,” he added, highlighting his own experience, noting that he had spent a longer tenure as a member of the bar than as a judge.
CJI Khanna further remarked that judges “shine in reflected glory” and said that it was difficult to imagine an adjudicatory system in India where the bar did not contribute to the process.

Speaking about India’s post-independence journey, he noted that the country had evolved into a mature and vibrant democracy, a self-assured nation.
CJI Khanna further said that he has made several efforts to address the issues and challenges faced by members of the bar. Speaking about the changes, he said that physical cause lists will once again be displayed outside courtrooms. He also talked about the improvements in Wi-Fi services, the installation of additional routers, and the removal of the daily requirement for OTP pins.
A cause list is a list of pending court cases that are scheduled to be heard in court, and when. It’s also known as a court calendar or trial calendar.
However, the CJI clarified that a request to reinstate the previous system for the circulation of adjournment requests could not be accepted. “I’ve looked at the data; it won’t be possible for us to go back to the earlier system. That may be counterproductive,” he said.
CJI Khanna explained that the number of adjournment requests had drastically reduced from around 100 a day to just 150 a month, based on data showing that the Supreme Court had received roughly 1,400 applications in recent months.
