Whatever be the political system of governance, people across nations aspire for an independent judicial system to serve them, said Gogoi at a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation conference.
Lavasa is next in line to become CEC and Justice Chandrachud a future CJI. While difficult, a vindictive govt or chief justice can damage their prospects.
The judiciary has become cocooned while being the supreme force for transparency elsewhere. The complainant against CJI Gogoi has laid bare this hypocrisy.
Supreme Court Advocates on Record Association says charges must be dealt with according to law. But SC staffers come out in support of CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
Munir indicates that he’s willing to go for broke, even if it risks taking his country “and half the world” down with him. It’s important to understand where he is coming from.

I hope we will again hear about the Rafale proceedings, the petition that was filed by Prashant Bhushan and others. Why was IAF selection team sidelined by the PMO, for what justification the number of aircraft was reduced from 126 to 36, and the perennial puzzle of what was Anil Ambani doing in matters related to the fighter aircraft. The works.
CJI has given a long lecture on independence of Judiciary. He seems to have a strong dislike of populism. Though he has used the word populism numerous times in his arguments but he has not defined this term. I don’t know what he has in his mind about populism when the democracy is all about populism.

In democracy Judiciary can never be above people. However, who has given judiciary the right to be as per their whims and fancies. Judiciary can get only those rights given to them by the people through the Constitution.

Last man standing. May it always be as erect and fierce as a Gurkha soldier.
