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.
Dubey ji is no saint. However, it is 100% correct to question the judiciary. Ask anyone in Bengal. Unless they are on TMC payroll, they will echo similar sentiments about over reach. Every single case from Bengal that has gone to SC has collapsed whereas Kolkata HC stands between TMC thugs and the people of Bengal. Kolkata HC singlehandedly represents us, making sure the lying, murderous CM faces some obstacles.
Abhaya case, had it stayed within Kolkata HC’s ambit would have had different results. Chandrachud took suo moto cognizance and we all knew then and there that it’s over for Abhaya and her family.
