Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Thursday said that he was a very tough person and was not affected by the commentaries on social media about court proceedings. The CJI expressed concern about the growing trend of people commenting on matters pending before the Court and misinterpreting the questions posed by judges during hearings.

He observed that judicial queries are meant to test the strength of arguments from both sides and do not represent the Court's final view. However, without understanding that, people jump to conclusions and weave narratives about the proceedings merely based on some queries raised during the hearing.

"But I am not affected by all this…on social media or otherwise. If anybody thinks they can browbeat...they are wrong. I am a very tough person,” CJI said.
