Former Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul has claimed in his upcoming book 'Without Fear or Favour' that former Chief Justice DY Chandrachud used to discuss the proposed names for appointment of judges in the Supreme Court Collegium with the government even before they were formally discussed.

Along with this, his book also throws light on the internal system of functioning of the Indian Judiciary.

BBC's Vineet Bhalla spoke with him about the health of the Indian judiciary and the pressures it faces from the government.
