The Supreme Court of India has expressed concerns over the practice of police and probe agencies summoning lawyers who are advising their clients, stating that such actions could have a chilling effect on legal counsel. The court has taken suo motu cognizance of this issue and emphasized that lawyers cannot be summoned directly for providing legal advice. Separately, the Supreme Court administration has formally requested the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to reclaim the official residence allocated to former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud. The former CJI has reportedly overstayed in the government bungalow for over eight months post-retirement, exceeding permissible limits. Sources from the ex-CJI's office cited that the alternate accommodation was in poor condition, required major repairs, and was not wheelchair accessible. The court has urged the government to ensure the residence is vacated promptly and returned to the court’s housing pool.
