Whether it’s Aarey or Kashmir or Ayodhya, we find almost every day a new example of how far the executive manages to find its echo inside the Supreme Court.
A bench of Chief Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Bharati Dangre dismissed four petitions filed by environment activists related to Aarey Colony, a major green lung in Mumbai.
It is time for New Delhi to raise its expectations and ask a tough question to the Ethnic Armed Organisations: Are they prepared to cooperate with India in its war against drugs?
Clean energy is “no longer the sideshow, it is the show”, BVR Subrahmanyam told the Odisha summit, warning India to lead the global shift or risk others’ tech dominance.
India is now the only country still operating the Jaguar, long retired by its original users, France in 2005 and the UK in 2007, and secondary operators like Oman, Nigeria and Ecuador.
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
This is facist government,,some problems are created by them. With the discussion,interactive procedures the problems are sorted out but due to inactivity of the government , solution are asked by Courts,a dangerous move to government
Sir,
Agree quite a bit on the Supreme Court stuff. But before you applaud the activists of Aarey, please view video of ThePrint itself which is a balanced analysis of the situation: https://youtu.be/VyJ7xoAQWFk
Does Shri Yadav know how many cars will get off the road because of these metro lines in Mumbai? Does he know the number of lives that are lost daily in the overcrowded Mumbai locals? It is surprising that The Print provides a platform to the opinionated Shri Yadav without anyone challenging his facts.
You are absolutely right about the metro and it’s plus points, but I believe Mr Yadav is making another point, which is, the selective picking by the Supreme Court of matters, when vitally important matters such as habeas corpus petitions have been long pending scrutiny of the Court from facts that arise out of article 370.
You are right that all such issues are important. However in the habeas corpus cases, what is peculiar is that these petitions seeking an adjudication on the deprivation of civil liberties have been pending for more than two months, and the court is still dithering to hear them. Historically, and I am not referring to the ADM Jabalpur time, but subsequent to that, when habeas corpus cases have come up to the Court, generally speaking the Supreme Court and the high courts have been fairly diligent in hearing such petitions. For they touch upon the most basic rights of a citizen. But in these cases there is zero urgency.
I have disagreements with Yogendra Yadavji on some of his political views, but i agree with him on the status of Supreme Court of India. Sad but its enormous status, independence and relevance is being compromised every passing day.
Yogendra who opposed Rahulji and now opposes Priyankaji. Priyankaji has been fighting for Aarey for alongt ime which is not at all mentioned in this article. infact even Matron Soniaji opposed Aarey long time before Yogendra and gang even came to know of it’s existence. Now he taking holier than thou attitude claiming credit and hiding the contribution of Priyankaji shows what an opportunist he is. What else can be expected from somebody who changed his birth name Salim to Yogendra just to please some communal elements.
Sad to see comments from some, that the author is a leftist intellectual but all fail to see the reason to answer what he brought about the important issues that the Supreme Court failed to address, like the habeas corpus petitions or postponement of case pertaining to adulteration of Art 370 by parliament against the spirit of constitution!
Spirit of the constitution is to protect all, even if he/she falls in minority’!
Mr Yadav,
You famously suggested “Congress should die” after 2019 results. Now you are contesting haryana elections.
Please focus on your seats, not on aarey of Mumbai. BJP will do another clean sweep and like a crybaby you will again be weeping
andasking Congress to die.
Self-loathing and a parallel hatred for the institutions of one’s country must be a Leftist staple ever since Karl Marx first panned Jews (he was born Jewish, but his family converted to Christianity after a scandal) in his “Zur Judenfrage,” before going on to slam his country, Germany, in “Die deutsche Ideologie.” While it is every Indian’s right to disagree with anything that happens in the country, to stand on pomposity that declares that the Supreme Court of India is “s fast losing its credibility, if not relevance.” takes a ton of gall. Typically for someone with his political persuasion, Yogendra Yadav has to decide that if something is not the way he and his comrades want it to be, then the other side does not matter. Obviously, his support for the Aarey activists, his claims of “his organization” (it has to be something that went according to his diktat, OK!) backing their protest etc, is nothing more than a threadbare cover for him to slime the Supreme Court from. Equally conveniently, for a lawyer, he is content with ignoring his profession’s audiatur et altera pars ethics to not bother about even spending a moment to consider the other side’s views.
These are the workings of the mind of a wannabe strongman. Perhaps, the best thing about Yogendra Yadav is that his authority is confined to his ability to post his regular diatribes against everything that he disapproves of, and nothing more. After decades of nothing more than authoritative regimes running India, it is best, then, that authoritarians like Yogendra Yadav lack authority in a delightful irony.
What the author has written is totally biased and is propoganda.He hasnot spared Supreme Court either.He thinks that he is thethe only right thinking person and betrays fascist or at least communist thought process .It deserves condemnation and to be consigned to the garbage bin its rightful place.
D author is a failed frustrated china & ISI paid politician who chose to remain silent on ethnic cleansing of Hindus frm Kashmir, on brutal rape & murder of Hindu girls & ladies.On Yakoob Menon Shekhar Gupta & dis so called swaraj abhiyan mentor were hell went to save dat killer man frm gallows bt now wen d SC is free from fixers gang like print owner Shekhar Gupta, Parshant Bhushan Indera Jai Singh etx,they see arrogance in SC
Why did Yogendra Yadav lose his ‘echo’ in AAP? Why was he thrown out from there? People like him are just arm chair activists.
Coming to Arey tree cutting and a construction of a metro shed there, is Yogendra Yadav aware that 8 people lose their lives everyday while traveling in Mumbai local trains? It comes to almost 2700 deaths in a single year; more than some 2600 trees that are supposed to be getting cut due to metro shed coming up in that area. Is loss of human life in such tragic commuting conditions less reprehensible than tree cutting? In last 6 years alone, train deaths in Mumbai locals are a staggering 18,000; much more than soldiers lost in 1948-62-65-71-99 wars put together.
Long back, there was a film made in Bangla and Hindi, titled Sagina Mahto. The film reminds one of pseudo seculars and leftists.
Horrible piece of journalism by this author who is fully biased in his mind therefore questions the wisdom of supreme court too.
The author seems to be leftist
Author is 100% pure unadulterated Leftist from top to bottom. Beard, kurta pajama, ‘intellectual’. Don’t know about his smoking habit.
Leftist-ill-liberals getting hammered!
When you guys woke up the SC in the mid of the night for the sake of a terrorist, it was ok for you all. When things don’t go in your favour, the SC is at fault.
There are some people stuffed with negativity. During the Anna andolan everything was bad about that administration, with the change in administration everything did not get corrected, but the very fact that the second government was re-elected with improved mandate means something may have changed for better.It is amazing that some intellectuals although every well meaning do not want even to support good to effectively counter the ills.
So either opposing is a good business or intellectual arrogance compels them to trash even a majority opinion in a democracy.
The Courts in this country are fair and are seen to be fair. Right or wrong they do hear everyone. The management of the time element has been talked about a lot. There the inequality based on the type of lawyers engaged etc. will also be rectified in years to come.
Just as it is not wrong to approach the higher court, it cannot be wrong to act while there is no stay. It appears swaraj is projected above an elected government.
