Dr Singhvi showered praises on the new CJI for his temperament and scholarly and liberal outlook.
“The more the talent, the better the temperament, the more would be the expectation from any incumbent CJI. The incoming new CJI scores very high on both talent and temperament, and hence expectations are bound to be high. He is scholarly, erudite, progressive and on several social issues, a liberal,” Dr Singhvi said.
While his expertise on law and judgment writing is there for all to see, the post of CJI will also test his leadership qualities, the veteran lawyer said.
“Judgment writing is an area which he has already shone in. But a CJI has to display additional leadership qualities – and I have said so publicly earlier – it would be best for him to start with at least a five-year plan or minimum three-year plan, for the future,” Dr Singhvi opined.
