“We will give up everything, even if it comes to our lives as so many people in our armed forces do in the service of the nation. We lost four of our members of the armed forces two days ago. So, just as we celebrate Christmas, let us not forget about those who are on the borders giving up their lives to protect our nation. When we sing, we also sing for them in celebration,” said CJI Chandrachud while speaking at the Christmas celebrations organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association.

The CJI was present with other judges of the top court.
