Re: [IAC#RG] SUPREME COURT CRYING FOR JUSTICE

A DOUBLE FACED MANOHAR PARRIKAR

By Aires Rodrigues

While as the Leader of Opposition Manohar Parrikar wanted and exercised all his democratic rights. He squatted on the highways blocking the traffic and had even threatened to gate crash to drive away the Casinos parked in the River Mandovi. Now that he is in power, he cannot see his own earlier acts as being holy. Now he wants every Goan to be at his best behavior and silently watch the misdeeds of his government. This however, will not just happen regardless of the threats and intimidation that Manohar Parrikar may rant. He may be concerned only about his Chief Minister's chair but we need to care for Goa. The battle has to go on regardless of the price we may have to pay.

Rattled that various acts of corruption and nepotism by his government have been exposed through the Right to Information Act, Manohar Parrikar has been stifling the transparency law after having conveniently kept Goa without a Lokayukta so that the corrupt can have a field day.

Manohar Parrikar has shown scant respect for the Judiciary and will do everything possible to muzzle and manipulate the press. During his earlier stint as Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Parrikar had on 24th September 2003 issued a legal notice threatening editors of all newspapers. So a decade down the road nothing has changed. Does the dog's tail ever straighten?.

After having conveniently used most  NGO's, activists and habitual litigants to maneuver his way to  power, now Manohar Parrikar finds they are a hurdle as misdeeds of his government are coming under the scanner.

If there is any extortion or blackmailing in the name of activism there are already enough laws in place to take care of the malaise which Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar can invoke by first putting his own house in order and clear the rot that is emanating from the Advocate General's office where through back room deals the advocates are appearing for and against the government. Just visit the High Court for a day and public will witness the Advocate General  leading his brigade of juniors and so-called former juniors standing for or against each other and strangely, without even sufficient independent practice, appearing for the big fish, in heavy stake-matters. Extortion or blackmail if any needs to be probed?

To come to power Manohar Parrikar made a lot of fake promises. On all his U turns less said the better. Not a paisa of that 35,000 crore illegal mining scam has or will ever be recovered while all that Manohar Parrikar's loose talk is to keep the Goans entertained. To secure his chair he made promises even to his MLAs and party workers of posts and positions which he knew he would not be able to deliver. He had promised Zero tolerance to corruption but the rampant corruption which has ebbed to the peak is there for all to see. The manner in which the erratic and eccentric Manohar Parrikar who is fast losing his marbles is functioning, he may well go down in the history books as the worst ever Chief Minister that Goa has seen.   

Activist priest Fr. Eremito Rebello had not long ago said "the sooner Parrikar goes, the better for Goa".

The writing on the wall is very clear. Is your time up, Mr. CM? Why not for the sake of Goa cook up a way to get out and go to the Centre?

There is nothing like judicial independence. It is only a myth created for the consumption of the gullible public. One judge who was appointed as Lokayuktha in Gujarat and refused to take up the job said it explicitly: when I am being appointed against the will of the state govt it will not be possible for me to work freely. There will be resource crunch and all inconveniences will be created for the performance of the duties'. And that is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

That is why you find that when the judiciary gives a judgement in favor of ordinary citizens and the government fails to implement it no action is taken against the defaulters whereas ordinary citizens are subject to immense pressure not to criticize judges under threat of contempt of court!

Dear all readers who are expressing views about Independence of Judiciary & for Fast Justice.
Presently view of political thinkers are that Collegium system for appointment of Supreme Court & High Court Judges be 
stopped even if Constitutional amendment is required.
Disclosure by  Supreme Court Judge, Justice ( Retd) Katju about political influence has created a stir among the citizens 
who are interested in keeping the Judiciary out of bounds of political interference at any stage.Justice Katju's disclosure has
 found support from former Judges also.
Judicial independence has been appreciated by all in general.People have expressed their faith in Judiciary.
The Collegium system is working after 1993 & 1998 Judgement.The disclosure by Justice Katju is about interference 
& its effect is of a much latter date.Thus the interference was indirect when there was no political say in appointment of Judges.
In case the proposal as mooted, wherein political persons would also be in the committee of selection of Judges ,is 
given effect, there will be direct involvement of politicians.Persons aspiring for such appointment may prefer to come closure to 
the political person in authority.
We cannot forget a call given by a political party for Committed Judiciary & its effect .
I wold like the readers to express their views with reasons, be it for or against, the view expressed by me.
