Re: [IAC#RG] CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA NEED TO SHOW RESTRAINT IN HIS OBSERVATIONS

Evidently, there are ills in our judicial system. No use blaming only judiciary for the same. It is a combination of so many factors - some of which that come to mind are as follows -

1. Outdated laws that the executive has failed to update.
2. Very large number of vacancies in Judiciaries for which political bosses and executives are equally responsible as the judiciary itself. Bureaucratic delays in approvals are galore.
3. Government the biggest litigant - responsible the bureaucratic approach - some times Govt goes for litigation for small sums up to supreme court against poor employees / residents.
4. Advocates - who by unscrupulous means keep on extending the proceedings by forcing adjournments for their personnel gains
5. Corruption amongst advocates as well as judiciary

This holier than thou attitude of the Chief justice is
not helpful. It clearly negates any suggestion for
improvement in the working of the judiciary. Corruption is
not an issue for him. Suggestion that there should be court
of Appeals in metropolitan cities
like Chennai ,Calcutta and Mumbai is not acceptable to him.
Commercial courts for Govt. litigation is not being
implemented.Gram Panchayats and alternative fora to ease the
pendency is not being implemented.Regds

         CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA
NEED TO SHOW  RESTRAINT IN  HIS
OBSERVATIONS
 



In open court, Chief Justice of
India has accused central government of bringing the entire
judiciary to a "grinding halt" by sitting on the
recommendations of the collegium for appointment and
transfer
of judges to high courts across the country. It is
disturbing that he went to the extent of saying that the
court would not shy away from a confrontation with the
government, if driven to a corner.  He made such
remarks even when the Attorney General assured
that the issue would be taken up at the highest
level.



Even while the Chief Justice made
such sharp remarks, the law minister has said that 
appointment of number of judges would be finalized very
soon. Is Chief Justice not aware of this?



The collegium issue has been under
discussions for quite sometime now and many have questioned
the judges themselves appointing the judges , when several
judges at various levels have been caught in corruption
scandals with one former Chief Justice of India
himself  being one of the accused.
Government stand appears  to
be that there must be proper procedure and transparency in
selection of judges. There is nothing wrong with this view.

 Chief Justice rejects the
government's view and insists that he should have the
final say. This stand of the Chief Justice is the origin of
the confrontation.



It would have been appropriate if
Chief Justice has read the mood of the people, who are
increasingly not sure about  the caliber of some of the
judges.


Reflecting such public mood , he
should accept the need for a level of transparency in the
appointment of judges. Threat of confrontation by Chief
Justice is not in tune with the functioning  of the
judiciary.
