Three days is all it took Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay to quit the judiciary and join the BJP. The controversial judge, known for his frequent run-ins with Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress is likely to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. While Justice Gangopadhyay isn’t the first judge to take the political plunge, it raises the question – should or can judges join politics?
Senior Correspondent Shubham Chohan explains. Alok Prasanna from Vidhi Centre For Legal Policy also weighs in on the issue.
