Judges Fault CJIs on Assignment & Selection of Cases, Judicial Appointments | Kapil Sibal

#kapilsibal #supremecourt #supremecourtofindia #justice #judges #chiefjusticeofindia
In the latest edition of Central Hall, three former judges of the Supreme Court – Justice A.K. Patnaik, Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta – join Kapil Sibal in analysing some of the problems plaguing the Supreme Court of India. Problems such as the Chief Justice of India's role as Master of the Roster, the selection of judges, the assignment of cases, and the manner in which cases of constitutional importance and personal liberty are getting delayed.

This is what needs to be done more often, introspection and discussion about health of one branch of our system. This is how as society we grow.

[sputnik]

The bottom line is that the Supreme Court is not delivering justice based on the law, but based on the judges' own inclinations, and with the connivance of forces outside the court.

Kapil Sibal is a very good addition to The Wire ... and vice versa.

[mohammedzakaria]

We really owe thanks to The Wire for bringing up one of the most important issues on judiciaries. The judges are mostly seen bias not giving judgements in accordance with the Rules of Law. Some honest judges are immediately transferred when on the verge of giving honest judgements. People have started to lose faiths in lots of the judges with their amazing judgements. The Wire are humbly requested to continue with these kinds of Debates in future involving fomer & present competent & honest judges and advocates so the corrective messages reach to the House of Judiciaries and the Governments. Thanks.

May the conversations with honourable judges inspire the Nation.
Good wishes.

[vijayasingh]

Please hold these conversations every month if possible Sir! These will be the milestones of morality in the country . At least we will be able to say that there WERE some justices who tried to show us the way !

[GLOBALPEACE]

What a great conversation between top legal stalwarts of the country. Indeed such discussions are a healthy sign of a democracy.

[bashirkhapathan]

Very useful discussion. Only wire can give space for these discussions. Congrats wire

[shaunbird]

Thanks so much to the Wire and Mr.Kapil Sibal for this excellent presentation. Judges come from different back grounds and will definetely have different views on their understanding of Laws. The Utmost and final understanding should be based on pure logic and impartial and should cater to the highest order of Truth and Righteousness. As one of the Hon. Judges spoke that like in the US, the Judges can group together and go for a discussion in private once or twice if necessary and come to a final decision. We look forward to hearing more of such great discussions. Thank you.

[arunagrawal]

Three cheers K Sibal.
Three of the very best on one platform

[parthadatta]

What a soul searching and illuminating discussion emerged with the three eminent former judges and Mr. Sibal. Of course it is another issue whether corrective steps will be taken by the apex court taking suo motu cognizance of the issues thrown up by these eminent persons.

Respected Sibbal ji, I am ex Police Officer, having worked in Mumbai Police for over 36 yrs n have retired in 2004, being one of the most decorative officer. During my tenure, I have attended several courts right upto High Courts n have seen the Politician, s from close quaters. As far as my cases are concerned, I have not found any Politician interfering in a y of my cases, except one, which was between two industrialist, which I would like to maintain annonimity. I would have appreciated, if you would have asked direct question to Hon. Justices with regard to the judgements in the following cases. 1) Gujrat Court Judgements by all the Gujrat Courts, in giving verdict in Rahul Gandhi's case in awarding maximum punishment, probably for the first time after the Independence. 2)Was it proper for Justice Ranjan Gogoi, to hear a case in which allegations were made against him of sexual harrasment by the staff member of the Supreme Court. He not only hears his own case, but he dismisses the lady b her disabled brother in law . He goes to an extent to ensure, that her father and brother working in Delhi Police is also dismissed. He was one of the four Judges, who had the press conference in which Justice Lokur was present. It was then, one of the Judges has categorically stated that the Democracy was in danger n had also mentioned about the case of Judge Loya, which was assigned to a Junior Judge. We saw the outcome of the case n what, I observed, that the attitude of Justice Gogoi had changed, which led to the Judgement of Babri Mazid demolition case. He was awarded with the post of BJP Rajya Sabha member, within weeks, after he delivered the Judgement. This, therefore raised the eye brows of several persons, particularly those from minor community. 3) Was it proper for the Supreme Court to appoint Sr. Adv. Harish Salve as AMICUS CURRIE, in the case of the then C.M. Narendra Modi, being fully aware, that he was the Solicitor General during the Vajpayee Govt. n till date, he defends the present Govt. in imp. matters. Can a person in proper sense, believe, that he would present an unbiased report against any BJP leader. Let me make myself clear, that I am neither a Hindu or a Muslim n have no affiliation for any political party. If anybody is hurt, by the questions I have raised, I tender my unconditional apology, since I was only keen to know, whether the above Judgements were on the basis of facts/ Political pressure or emotions. JAI HIND.

[awadheshyadav]

Very healthy and thoughtful panel discussion!! Thanks Sibal sir for organising such discussion and thanks the honorable judges(retired)for expressing their concerns and observations for the public.🙏🙏👍

[purnimapalimar]

What a delightful inforemative discussion by three respected eminent jugdestaken by Kabil Sibal Sir, thanks to Wire 👍👏 please keep it up.❤

[mariafernandes]

As an ordinary citizen of the country i am sorely disappointed with our judiciary for not being there for all those knocking on their doors for justice. I pray that there is a change in the attitude of our judges towards delivering justice. God help.

[aakashmishra]

Very nice start to get India’s democracy back 🙏🏼
