GST prime example of cooperative federalism, says CJI Chandrachud

• Cooperative federalism is a system where the Centre and States work together to achieve common development goals.
• The dialogue between the Union government and the States should be placed on two ends: collaborative discussions and “interstitial contestation.”
• Both forms of dialogue are crucial for federalism and the nation’s growth.
• The courts have played a significant role in developing the principles of Indian federalism, protecting the interests of the States in terms of identity and efficiency.
