Notable cases
I have removed a large section of text regarding Chandrachud's "notable cases". The declaration of whether a particular case is notable or not cannot be made simply by citing the case itself, but must arise from reliable secondary sources that have written about the cases, such as law texts, law journal articles, or reliable news coverage.

The result of the move request was: No consensus, after a lengthy listing period. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:22, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud → D. Y. Chandrachud – WP:UCRN rule of Wikipedia suggests that the title should be named after the subject's common name. When you search "Chandrachud" on google, it is axiomatic that Justice Chandrachud is referred to as D. Y. Chandrachud or DY Chandrachud commonly by reliable news sources more than Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, and thus, it is suggested to be entertained in that manner. The official and current judge list on the official website of the Supreme Court also refers to the doctor as D. Y.

 * Oppose. D. Y. Chandrachud is not his common name, it is merely an abbreviation for his common name.  A search of Google news revealed the following:
 * Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud 50
 * Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud 175
 * D.Y. Chandrachud 203
 * The convenient abbreviation is common in news stories, but not overwhelmingly so. It is not like Joanne Rowling who is known by her pen-name J. K. Rowling. -- Toddy1 (talk) 18:31, 8 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:INITS. Many reliable sources omit periods in the initials, therefore adding periods in the search term may not yield accurate results. DY Chandrachud gives about ~38,000 hits on Google news, which is exceedingly more than Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud which gives mere ~368 hits. -- Ab207 (talk) 10:52, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Your search only gives 211 hits if you go to the last page, which is what I did. You generally get massively inflated numbers if you do not do that. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:23, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you are right. Though its a common abbreviation, it seems the longer form is also used nearly as often. Thanks for correcting me. -- Ab207 (talk) 06:52, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

References deleted without explanation
Was there a reason for deleting the citations in the above? -- Toddy1 (talk) 05:04, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Was there a reason for deleting the following?
 * He is also Chancellor of Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai.

Wikipedia Sister Projects
I recently added the links of wikipedia sister projects on this Wikipedia page. However, I was surprised to find that the notable subject was not at all covered in any of the projects. The subject has enough works (Supreme Court judgements) in public domain. I urge interested editors to take some time out and cover the subject on the sister projects linked at this Wikipedia Page.MildGovernor (talk) 09:13, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

misattribution of gender comment
On 18th April 2023, when the Bench was hearing same-sex marriage, Solicitor General argued that in the Indian Legal System, gender depends on biological sex. D.Y. Chandrachud pointed out that it's not true. The comment is being misattributed to him. Whereas he was stating the judgement of Justice K. S. Radhakrishnan and A. K. Sikri in National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India case in 2014. Since 2014, in India, people have had the right to self-identify as male, female or third gender (non-binary). Justice Chandrachud joined the SC in 2016 only.

Because today's case is being highly followed, Justice Chandrachud's comment caught the media's attention. They misattributed it to him. But it has been part of the Indian Legal System since 2014. And numerous Habeas Corpus filings have repeatedly reiterated the same comment on gender. It's not a noteworthy incident. Wiki6995 (talk) 15:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
