Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
When it was earlier decided by the judges are equal including the Chief Justice,but the chief justice has the prerogative to assign cases to the judges.Then why the four judjes are bikkering if it is alloted to the 10 th senior most judge.Fuurther what was Shekhar Gupta doing there.Why did Raja meet Justice Chemeleshwar.What is the connection?Is there a conspiracy?Madan Manjusha your glass also seems to be tainted.Democracy in India is well secured,you need not worry about that.It was the congress party which historically derailed democracy.Have you forgotten?
Its a shame. SC struck down the NJAC to maintain the judicial supremacy. Now this. I agree with Justice Sodhi. This was not expected of the sipreme court judges.
I see that there are several zttempts to politicize for or against the govt. I don’t think thete is any data to suggest that. Such people are eithrt foolish or crooks.
Its not right to criticize the government in this particular case. As of now, none of the judges have put any allegation on the government. The issue the has been raised by them is the personal conduct of the CJI. His allocation of judges in different benches. What basically points out in this dissent are the loopholes that are present in our judiciary from appointment of judges to their allocation in different bench cases. I’m not sure whether its right to move this issue in public or not, but this would surely further bring down the already languishing faith of people in Indian judiciary. One thing that needs to noticed and thoroughly scrutinized is what the next CJI from these lot does in amending and helping the judicial system. Also, what they does in their limited tenure to restore the tarnished image of the Supreme Court.
It’s an important event not just for the Indian judiciary but for the democracy itself. Thankful to the judges for having taken the call and for taking this bold step. The ruling class is hell bent upon destroying the democratic institutions. Judges’ revolt is a tight slap in their face. Some biased people (like jd Lodhi) maybe wearing tainted glasses; that will only blur their vision. Rest of us can clearly see what’s happening. Now onwards it’s for We the People to take this torch forward.
