The Supreme Court has said disclosing the collegium’s reason behind transferring judges ‘will not be in the interest of the institution’, but it would ‘if found necessary’.
According to procedure, a high court judge willing to resign has to send their resignation to the President. If the President approves, they stand discharged of their duties.
The progress of the Sangh has always rested on society’s constant support. Because its work remained in tune with the spirit of the people, acceptance grew steadily over time.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
Since 1815, Nepali Gorkhas have served in Indian & British Armies, as well as in Bihar, Bengal & Assam Police. Since Agnipath scheme came in, no Nepal-domiciled Gorkha has enlisted.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
The Collegium is an unconstitutional entity, created by the apex court during the tenure of P V Narasimha Rao’s government on crutches at the Centre. It was given even a framework only almost 10 years later. Given the way in which a few judges trashed the duly enacted NJAC Act one has to think whether we need to continue with a costly election process and an equally costly legislating process when a few judges can sit and dictate the laws that they think are needed for laymen to live by. If it doesn’t suit sometimes they can increase the number of judges in a bench and decide to overturn it also.
Judiciary and its functioning is a law onto itself – they are neither answerable nor can they be held accountable to anyone. They can roam stark naked if they want – the public has to bear these little tyrants in the name of “rule of law” or so we are told. We are “told” this because apparently our “honorable” judges past have shown contempt at Mr Ambedkar and his Constitution and have done away with any checks and balances he instituted on the Judiciary in terms of appointments because they found it more convenient to gaze into their “crystal ball” and decipher his “intention” – rather than something so pedestrian as his words!
The Govt of India has done well to push back against the Judiciary and to make it check itself and not assume automatic approvals. In this regard the Modi Govt has done the Executive Branch proud as an effective “check” on the Judiciary. Unfortunately such daring cannot be expected from weaker Govts built on coalition crutches.
Finally, there is the fifth column – the cabal of SC bar lawyers who do double duty in the Legislature and sometime even the executive – being a kind of Roman “pro consul” who has all the powers of all the branches vested within them – this allows them to govern both when in majority and in a minority by changing their robes to suit their convenience. This cabal has an interest in keeping the Judiciary out of check and the Legislature operate with an arm behind its back.
People complain that our Legislature is a farce or our executive is authoritarian – but I submit the real travesty is the perversity that is our Judiciary – a totalitarian cabal who have cast off the shackles of Constitutionalism and have granted themselves a judicial “imperium” where even the color of the President of India’s underwear is “justiceable” by these unelected, unrespresentative, self-appointed, self-advertised doyens of moral rectitude.
One should be a little discerning when these smears and taints, leaked to the media, begin to appear. When Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh’s tenure was cut short, to elevate her junior, who was retiring in a few days, something similar happened. She gave a couple of interviews to clear the air and has been a model of rectitude and restraint ever since.
