Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant on August 22 proposed the creation of a BRICS+ Judicial Fellowship and a shared jurisprudence repository to strengthen judicial cooperation among BRICS+ nations. Addressing the 11th BRICS+ Legal Forum, he introduced the concept of 'Nyay Setu' (bridge of justice) as a symbol of legal connectivity. LiveLaw reports he emphasised strengthening institutional trust amid economic volatility and gaps between political commitments and legal mechanisms.
Times Now adds that the CJI called for 'Nyaya-nomics', or the economics of justice, to ensure a level playing field through consistent adjudication. He said institutions are not scaffolding around growth but its architecture. Attorney General R. Venkataramani stressed the need to redefine the common good and make institutions more open. The two-day forum, attended by representatives from China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa and others, will conclude on August 23 with a closing plenary.
Indian Opinion Analysis
LiveLaw's coverage foregrounds the formal proposals and institutional details, presenting the CJI's remarks as a straightforward diplomatic initiative. Times Now focuses on the 'Nyaya-nomics' phrasing and the argument that institutions are the architecture of growth, framing the speech as a pointed economic-policy statement. Neither source is critical or adopts a political stance, both report the event as neutral news. The measured takeaway is that the CJI used the forum to position India's judiciary as a pillar of economic resilience, linking legal certainty directly to investment confidence. Watch for the BRICS+ Legal Forum Declaration on August 23.
