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.
Yes. The judiciary is absolutely transparent. And absolutely shameless.
The current CJI Khanna’s uncle was a Supreme Court judge. The previous CJI, Chandrachud’s father was the CJI too. Chandrachud’s son is practicing in Bombay High Court and is in line to be appointed a judge of the Bombay High Court. If things go as planned, he would end up as the CJI someday.
All of this happens transparently. The Lordships don’t bother to even hide their nepotism and corruption.
A judge through her corruption forced a man to commit suicide. Media is plastered with the name of the victim. His wife. Also with trying to malign him. No one discloses the name of the judge that indulged in this corruption. Transparency is a hoax. Shameless creatures.
