As was expected former Supreme Court Judge Arun Mishra who went out of the way in personally eulogizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been rewarded with the plumb position as Chairman of National Human Rights Commission.
As judicial independence of Judges rests entirely on maintaining an incorruptible detachment from the government of the day, it cannot be allowed to be morally compromised by lobbying for cushy post-retirement sinecure postings. We have earlier also witnessed instances where Judges have fixed their retirement nests much prior to even demitting office.
The highest standards of judicial independence must be ensured by warding off even the faintest trace of governmental influence on the judiciary. The loyalty of every single Judge in our country has to be only to the very sacred Constitution of India.
