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.
Is judiciary is so much intolerant? If other 2 organs (” executive and legislative” ) could take criticism,why can’t judiciary? … That to genuine criticism… Everyone knows about credibility of judiciary ( cleen chit for 2G spectrum case, Amit Shah, ayodhya case ,not listening to J and K struck down of fundamental rights. And still many….)
When CJI Gogoi and his companion judges said before press, that benches were made on political considerations, there was no hue and cry. Did it not bring disrepute to the SC ? Had a commoner commented like that, they would have hanged him. And any guess who was the judge , who was under question by Gogoi and co , the then CJI, Dipak Mishra , son of another CJI, Rangnath Mishra.
How far Mr Prashant Bhushan is incorrect about his comments? If his statements r incorrect, he is of course liable to face contempt of strictest nature because he commented on “the highest” judicial institution, But if he is true, the failures are also by, “the highest” and if so, then how many persons r there in the country having the courage to ring the bell? Instead of blaming him first it will be wise to discuss and or to ask him why he made such comments on “the highest”, once known as ” world’s most powerful institution”. If he commented on facts or truth, it do not amount a contempt as per law as we all know. If one looks at the incidents of last 3/4 years independently and dispassionately, starting from the Judges Press Meet to quick Rajya Sabha Membership of ex-Chief Justice of India Mr Ranjan Gogoi, the newly invented one-way-closed-envelop system in many matters of national importance, to the Delhi Riot-mid-night-trasfer of Delhi High Court Judge issue, the CAA related pre-conditioning announcement indicating first ever kind of situation by the present Hon’ble Chief Justice , stand on promotion and transfer of Justice Akhil Kureshi, stand on CAA, to silence for long on the plight of millions of migrant labourers till it was too late, stand on Arnab Goswami on his continuous all out effort to create national communal disharmony to give benefit to a particular Political Party, etc. r of course very much discouraging and disheartening. Of course “the highest” r also human beings and to err is human. But continuous and series of incidents…… …. on which all can’t keep witnessing silently and continuously. If Mr Bhushan is correct, imagine the far-reaching, super-massive consequences of those failures both at national and international level . Martin Luther King said “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere “. Thanks. A K Talukdar, Advocate, Guwahati.
Is the photo and written material fake ?
Indian SC is now a showpiece only. The judges don’t have any deep knowledge of the Indian constitution and serve only the agenda of BJP. These dumb judges even allowed the CAA and CPR which even a layman could say was unconstitutional.
Prashant Bhushan, Ram Guha etc deliberately make these tweets to be in limelight for 15 minutes.
Why cannot the Government Of India and the Supreme Court take criticism?
And why the notice to Twitter. Just because you are powerful doesn’t mean you issue notices to everyone.
