That the New CJI is a dalit should have been a passing message at the end of the report. The institution of CJI is an exalted one with respect and sanctity and Shri Balakrishnan (or any person to occupy that chair) has earned that position by virtue of unquestionable merit and exceptional calibre. Let not the media go to town with the headlines that he is a dalit.Media is also another pillar of our democracy and let them not behave like our politicians.
