How does the selection process ensure that Congress and naxal sympathizers, biased against a particular religion and soft towards left anarchism have not been injected into the selection pool over decades?
In democracies parliament represented by elected members must be supreme but in India Supreme Court has made itself Supreme. A bench of 7 judges can undo any law made by the parliament. Not only this SC sets rules for itself and its functioning. It’s because divisions in parliament are not restricted to parliament whose functioning is politicised to the extent of enmity. Britishers could rule India because Indians were divided and remain divided even today. SC has used this division in parliament to behave like British rulers had behaved. SC has become unaccountable beast.
Dear writer, do your home work properly. Collegium system was not started by Ranjan gogoi or Bobde. It is there since 1995. Read supreme court’s judgment known as Second and Third Judges Transfer cases. Government’s attempt amend the Constitution so as to form National Judicial appointments Commission was struck down by the Supreme Court. Collegium system has given us wonderful judges like KG Balakrishnan, CS Karnan, PD Dhinakaran and scores of similar persons. You can help by building public opinion against collegium system which is opaque.
Can we upload supreme court or high court picture in our website ? Do we need any prior permission ? Is there any restriction regarding the same ?
