The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
Rule is rule even for a fool
He should be punished
The attempt to influence Supreme Court by running signature campaigns or other political propaganda such as writing opinion articles in print media, holding motivated debates on TV etc; in itself is an insult to this institution and worthy of contempt of court proceedings and deserving of exemplary punishment.
Some individuals and groups, with questionable bonafide intent, have indulged in attempts to dismantle the edifice of democracy by misusing the privileges bestowed such as’ free speech’ and ‘tolerance’.
Free speech has several defined restrictions and limitations while it is foolish to be tolerant toward the intolerant !
Criticizing and abusing are two different things.
Prashant needs to be sent to gaol.
A deliberate and planned attack on freedom of speech by the custodian of law !! They have become puppet of present Modi govt. Nothing else !!
