Liberal credentials of Justice DY Chandrachud, hailed by media and the progressives for his dissenting views, have been inconsistent, to say the least.
News channels were also in two minds about removing stray dogs to the government dog pounds. NDTV took credit for it and CNN-News 18 called ‘controversial order’.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
The Left quasi-fascist ecosystem of journos, academics & activists has a well-developed SOP: intimidate contrarian voices by mounting a coordinated attack to discredit & silence them. And these Lefties call themselves liberals. Clowns.
The article might be in bad taste. But I must appreciate the writer as well as the Print editorial board for keeping up the consistency in posting articles in bad taste, every day.
The premise of this article is misleading. Liberalism v. Conservatism. But a Judge does not have the luxury of being either one of them. He has to uphold the Constitution and scrutinize laws and executive actions on the touchstone of legislative competence and our Fundamental rights which are elaborately laid down in our constitution. Constitutional amendments are scrutinized on the basis of the rules laid down in the keshavananda Bharti case. Ideologies of judges should not matter. A man who is a conservative in his personal life can make a fine judge if he upholds and defends our constitution. Ideological leanings should not matter. Unfortunately liberals tend to think they are always right and labour under the misapprehension that our higher judiciary should be manned by liberals who are always dissenting.
Article in bad taste. Only liberal view is correct. All judgements should be written by Liberals. You seem to be creating a niche for yourself by carrying all such articles. ??
DYC should be please to read this article which clearly shows him to be not following a particular line. There never can be a judgment which can please everyone. Whenever a judgement goes against someone the disappointment will be there but in civilised society it has be accepted with respect. Ones a judge goes on the bench it is not healthy to start looking at his ideology etc. One may have an opinion on it but to start writing about it, is quite damaging to the institution. This amounts to misuse of the freedom of expression. Opinion is Like an —-hole everyone has one, but when and where to bare it is the discretion one must exercise.
pseudo-liberals and pseudo-secularists exposed once again!
If you don’t agree with THEM, you are not a liberal! How contradictory!
But, probably they forgot that there is a growing size of educated, critically thinking Indians who can understand this contradiction.
Or may be they are still under the illusion that the country blinds follows them.
It is no surprise that so called liberals have been totally disappointed and disillusioned by the unanimous judgement of Sc on Ayodhya issue. The least they were hoping was 4-1 or better still, 3-2 judgment so that they can continue to further their agenda against BJP using this judgement. In view of his, it is to be expected that the DYC will be the fall guy for this cabal. SC needs to ensure that this PIL industry needs to be scotched completely and one day in a fortnight should be kept for admitting these cases strictly on merits.
Wow. What a breathtaking assertion by the author. So, if anything is not to your liking then of course the fault lies with the other guy!
The contempt of the liberal pseuds on display.
Thanks, Sanjay Dhingra for exposing yourself and your liberal pseuds once again. Liberals exposed: it’s a ghastly sight….makes me retch at their utter duplicity.
Well he is not consistent that’s for sure,yes not expecting much from him any more.The days of the great Justice HR Khanna , Justice Jagmohanlal Sinha,Justice Chelameshwar are long over now.
God Bless our beautiful country.
I don’t want to loose Hope….
What ‘consistency’ are you expecting? Judges are not expected to be political so no judge will pass judgements on the basis of pro or anti BJP reputation granted by armchair liberals like you. Chandrachud’s judgements have always been consistent with the LAW. Problem is you don’t care about law, only politics.
‘Liberals’ is actually a misnomer for this bunch, which is intolerant of views/opinions other then their own.
Liberals are an elitist bunch with very little or no tolerance (let alone acceptance) of the views/opinions of others. If you concur with them and their opinions all the time, they consider you to be a part of the gang. The moment you differ, you are labelled a conservative right-wing status quoist.
Justice Chandrachud is respected for his integrity and impartiality. He surely does not need an endorsement from the liberal/secular cabal.
This argument is nonsensical even from the point of view of common sense let alone a legal view(I am sure any lawyer would just laugh at it). Why should Chandrachud dissent just for the sake of there being a dissenting opinion? What matter is what his judgement is. If he agrees with the other judges that’s the end of it. The problem is these people only care about politics and they don’t realize that in fact the judiciary is an apolitical institution and passes judgements based on law and interpretation of law.
As a son of a former CJI, should we not be surprised at how many of these connected people make it to the bench? There are other examples as well. His use of injudicious language and a lack of appreciation of other perspectives make it totally unfit to be on the court. Nepotism lives on in our unreformed courts.
It is not his fault that he is TALENTED son of former CJI of India. Look at his education and then comment. He studied at HARVARD on a SCHOLARSHIP and won the prestigious Joseph H Beale prize.
Let’s be clear he was selected by a process that is entirely opaque and ends up selecting children of senior judges and of senior members of the bar far too often. If only going to Harvard was a great criteria, then Rahul Gandhi would also quality. Instead, Rahul has to go through an arduous vetting process by the people through an election. There is no evidence of Justice Chandrachud having gone through any vetting at all. The long delays in the courts, contradictory judgments, injudicious language, and running down others are all examples of a judiciary whose process of selection leaves me with grave doubts. The troublesome conduct of previous chief justices like Thakur (used open threats to rule on law suits that he would hold back in abeyance), Khera (overturned a constitutional amendment that he had a personal conflict with), and numerous other judges leaves me with very little respect for the judiciary. While Chandrachud may be personally educated, I have strong doubts about his suitability based on the kind of language he used. Check out the Sabrimala ruling where the principles of “standing” were ignored and yet another case the very next month where they were cited.
How The Author Sanya Dhingra can expect in every Judgement Chandrachud give his dissent? Because these liberals label Chandrachud as Liberal,should he give always dissent? Liberals in India have gone really mad. Pray God,give wisdom to these mad Liberals in India for better Democracy.

Now majoritarian right wing thoughts are mainstream . Rest are liberal. Liberals are from another planet.

The liberals do injustice to Justice Chandrachood

His use of injudicious language and a lack of appreciation of other perspectives make it totally unfit to be on the court. Nepotism lives on in our unreformed courts.

The English word liberal denotes a person who is moderate and civilised in his views. Bigots , majoritarians and racists have made it a swear word.
Nope, a liberal means a person who favour liberalism as political ideology. They act like a group, just like the author of the piece here shows.
Liberal means to concur with Indira Jaisingh alike black english without considering facts
Does ‘liberal’ mean ‘oppose/against establishment’ in the dictionary?
Nonsense…….
