CJAR said this is wrong
In India, there is a group of judges to determine the accountability of judges. This is called Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reform (CJAR). This group has described Prime Minister Modi’s visit to CG Chandrachud’s house as a wrong example. CJAR has said that PM Modi’s visit to CG Chandrachud’s house raises questions on the separation and impartiality of power and judiciary.
Some old references were also given in this regard, in which it was said that in 2019, the then Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi ignored Article 50 while hearing the case against him. Under the same Article 50 of the Constitution, PM Modi is also being criticized for visiting the CJI’s house.

What does Article 50 say?
Article 50 of the Indian Constitution divides powers. Under Article 50, the state i.e. the nation will keep the judiciary separate from the executive in its public services and will take necessary steps for that. Through this article, importance is given to maintaining a distance between the judiciary i.e. the court and the executive i.e. the government in the work of public services. In simple words, the judiciary and the executive should not mix with each other. So that both do their respective work in their own way and impartially.
Can’t the Prime Minister go to the Chief Justice’s house?
Those who are criticizing PM Modi for visiting CJI Chandrachud’s house are citing Article 50. But there is no mention in Article 50 that the Prime Minister of India cannot visit the house of the Chief Justice of India. Both the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of the country have some responsibilities, which are shared.
For example, the appointment of the Chief Vigilance Commissioner, CBI chief and many other top posts in the country are done jointly by the Prime Minister, Chief Justice and Leader of the Opposition. In such a situation, it is natural for the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice to meet for these tasks.
