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.
The Supreme Chief Justice of India (SCJI), Mr. Kapil Sibal, has given his verdict – “Justice Varma is innocent”.
Evidence:
“We have never heard anything negative about him. Quie frankly, in our opinion, he is one of our finest.”
Case dismissed.
So just because Mr. Kapil Sibal did not hear anything negative about “the man” and considers him to be one of our finest judges, the Supreme Court should declare Mr. Varma innocent.
Why have courts then? We can always Mr. Sibal for his opinion on an accused and if he has ever heard anything negative about the accused. If not, the accused can be declared innocent.
This way of dispensing justice would be really swift. Also, this will reduce the pendency clogging our judicial system.
I am sure this sibal is saying all this so that he can get more priority hearing for frivolous matters
