Following Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud's call for judges not to perceive the privileges they receive as a display of power, a recent incident involving a high court judge misusing his position has come to light. Justice Gaurang Kanth, now a judge of the Calcutta High Court, wrote a letter to the Delhi Joint Commissioner of Police (Security) on June 12, urging the immediate suspension of police officers stationed at his residence. He alleged that due to their incompetence, he lost his pet dog as they failed to follow his security instructions properly.
The letter from Justice Kanth, though dated June 12, only recently surfaced online and has sparked widespread discussions. Many have accused him of abusing his official position, pointing to a sense of entitlement prevalent among some members of the higher judiciary.
Justice Kanth expressed his displeasure at the behavior of the security officials and demanded an action-taken report from the Delhi Police within three working days. He emphasized that such negligence in their duties could pose a threat to his security and that of his family. He urged the suspension of the officers responsible and called for a thorough investigation into the matter.
Notably, Justice Kanth was previously in the news when allegations of breaching trust and abusing his office as an advocate emerged. These allegations were raised by the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms (CJAR) regarding a forged sale deed while he was serving as a lawyer and executor for his client's will.
CJI Chandrachud's recent remarks on judicial authority and the need for self-reflection within the judiciary gain significance in light of these incidents. He emphasized that judges should exercise their authority wisely, both on and off the bench, to maintain the judiciary's credibility and public confidence. Protocol facilities provided to judges should not be used in a way that inconveniences others or attracts public criticism.
The incident involving Justice Gautam Chowdhary of the Allahabad High Court, who faced inconvenience during a train journey, also came to light in a similar context. CJI Chandrachud expressed concern over such incidents and reiterated the importance of not misusing privileges and power associated with judicial positions

I am 72 now. I like your editorial. I appreciate it. I have been observing the deterioration happening in Indian society. Politicians are fully changed. Money is playing a main role. The ethical life is completely vanished. I am worried about future generation.

[@SujitNairOfficial]

I appreciate you watching my Editorial and glad that you like them 🙏. Thank you!

[@14debanjan]

Sir, how was our natural environment compared to these days 60-70 years ago ?

[@conniekinny6742]

Very True

[@sureshkumartg]

Sir .. today we see more politics less governance..

[@HorizonLaw2021]

Only Sujit Nayar can speak with guts like that , congratulations sir

[@tonygeorge208]

Reminds me of visiting the Australian Parliament in Canberra along with visitors from Kerala wearing their traditional clothes. We had to pass through a glass door and saw on the other side there were immaculately dressed Ladies and Gentlemen who probably would have been Ministers, Parliamentarians and officials approaching the same door. On seeing them I stood back along with my guests although we were the first to reach the door. The whole lot on the other side stood there and asked us to pass through only because we were the first to reach. My guests were perplexed and could not believe their eyes imagining of a similar situation in India. I do not have to describe much this incident tells everything.

[@tintianoTV]

Great to hear of this experience

[@kannanthillainayagam7697]

Well said we elect to serve us and making regular payment also. But many of them treat us like we are disturbing their life..

[@tamilkodim]

Sir, what yoju are saying should be considered seriously by all the people who are working for the people who are paying for your survival.

[@jawaharhussain7372]

Hats off Sujit Nair Sir... Hope this is one among your brave editorial to question those at top positions.

[@ravindrahemmanur3395]

Thank you Editor ji. Any sensible patriot cannot rebut any point you made here. You said, "...Till such time that you and I do not understand our rights, our powers, and the fact that we are the taxpayers. These people of the three pillars of Democracy are supposed to be serving us, protecting us, not ruling us, such things are going to increase in our country." I can ascribe the sole reason for these sad and deplorable state to the self imposed insensitivity syndrome and the deafening graveyard silence of the middle class voters. By God's grace our today is good, which, in fact, should have been umpteen times better if not best. If this entire section realise the significance of their fundamental right to vote judiciously every thing would fall in line.

[@shelldie8523]

Yea right. Me and a lot of people voted for others not the bjp. The bastards purchased mlas and made their government. Pardon my language but what the fk is the use of a vote when the candidate we vote for (and I've voted for different ones) will simply be purchased where is the sanctity for our votes. My rights mean Jack when such people rule with an iron fist.

[@Anon999-qk3ue]

I feel you are right my friend. Middle class intelligentsia have developed a sense of arrogance and apathy in the past 10-15 yrs. We are very quick to talk about "development", economics, history, politics, etc. as half-educated pseudo-experts, but there is very little critical analysis in public debate, and very little love for fellow common man. Mainly it has become narrative driven, enabled further by the media and IT cells. All the "education" has not enabled us to develop a sense of critical thinking, or a sense of true patriotism and empathy.

[@ravindrahemmanur3395]

​@@Anon999-qk3uethank you for being rational. Cast, creed, colour, customs, beliefs don't fill any one's tummy. They certainly make our soles happy. Whereas, education and employment provide us our physical life, like food, clothing, shelter, health care, and the luxurious things. When I am starving, I cannot feed myself with theosophy. May wisdom dawn on every one.

[@kailashmkalla]

What a great personality you are, salute to your thoughts every Indian must think like you to make great India

[@stephenraj7834]

One more eye- opener editorial by Sujithji... salute to you ...

[@cjayaram3472]

This is the ugly side of authority and misplaced priorities..

[@selvinabraham7436]

Absolute authority corrupts absolutely. This is what is happening in India. Unless the people wake up and claim their rights, it is going to wipe out everyone. Fantastic editorial.

[@saminagabajiwala2298]

Spot on Suit sir. A great wake up call to a slumbering society. Thank you, love and respect you for the work you do

[@sydneygracias44]

Absolutely right. This has to be taught to us in school.

[@nestingfilmsstudios7998]

Excellent topic for discussion! Great job Sujith..👍this really is a huge concern for every common man of this country. Its enough of these people throwing around their weight. They better change for good now. We all should rise to the situation and campaign against them. They better revisit the basic understanding of BEING A PUBLIC SERVANT. I am sharing this on my FB

[@rajk1743]

Sujit ji, I follow your news portal regularly. In our country, power at levels in government and public services is corrupted. The common man lives at the mercy of these people. These days, justice is only for the rich and effluent.

[@denzilvaz3819]

Saying as it really is! Bold and straightforward assessment of our situation. Hats off to Mr. SUJITH NAIR for for educating the Indian iisses. Hope citizens imbibe these values. More power to Sujith!

[@subodhjanardhan2261]

This is the Sujit Nair whom we love ❤❤ Keep it up sir ,you said the challenges our country is facing today , Really Appreciate the way you spoke your mind

[@epaul4931]

Great work Sujith

[@sulochanarangaswamy5308]

It is atrocious to see such things. 🔥

[@malaybiswas3248]

Excellently explained the weak holes of democracy. This Judge should be taken care by Hon'ble President of India so that such ugly occurrences don't repeat in future and Inter Departmental harmonious relations remain intact.Ashamed by seeing the declined moral values of Judiciary.

[@thewhistleblower2827]

Best ever for me till now

[@rangnathadya4338]

Very pertinent question raised, sir. Pl keep it up.

[@vincentrodrigues655]

Very well put,what you said was right. When will we change?

[@HorizonLaw2021]

That judge would have lost his mind , definately

[@rbunga1]

THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF SHAMELESS ARROGANCE.

[@nsa_200]

Thank you Sujit ji for taking up these challenging topic and for providing a great example. Reminds me of the standup - I come from an India that will watch this and know there is a gigantic joke and its on us 😢

[@raveetr8730]

Agree sir. Thanks for this episode

[@ramiz1447]

Very well said sir .

[@AtoYimOfficial]

You are absolutely right sir.

[@sunilt02]

Absolutely spot on Sujit sir Today’s officials are stars and are supported by the politicians of the ruling parties Only the civil socity and media can expose them ! 🙏🙏👍👍

[@jagadishroy7516]

Very good Sir, this is going on every where!

[@subirdeb9591]

You have raised a vital issue that no one even thinks about today. It motivates me to tell you something that has been bothering me for years. The OC of any police station summons any citizen at the drop of a hat. It is the usual practice everywhere. It bothers me because it is an insult to our democratic rights. Why should a police officer call someone at the police station? If he wants to question someone, I usually expect the officer to call on the person concerned at his residence, preferably with a prior appointment. Isn't it? What is your take on it? Please think it over. I feel it is time our people need to be sensitised on this.

[@ahmedabdulsattar411]

Sir thanks for your efforts

[@tigerpass4216]

Really very true. These types of things should end.

[@Rags1982]

Enlightening editorial even to those who think well educated

[@HorizonLaw2021]

That judge should have sacked , how he dared to write a letter like this , has he lost his mind , crap

[@rishikeshsshinde]

Fantastically put Sujit Nair! I have been paying taxes and while I do with as an obligation to the government, I do not pay it happily! Would love to see a change!

[@d.dcosta8771]

Thankyou surjit Yes these mini power centres as I call them are only reflecting our politicians. Somewhere I feel our society has not come out of the villages, where the upper caste and patwaris n darogas were looked upon and defied. It's sickening to see the behaviour of our politicians, bureaucrats, police, govt officials, and y them only... *See our businessmen too. * It's a sad n demeaning.

[@pavankumar0425]

Thanks

[@georit20]

I have had the oppurtunity to meet a few judges and also to interact with them. Most of them were good listeners and had real good clarity and spoke well on issues presented before them...but when some of them spoke i wished i never heard what they said as it used to be so senseless and has made me how is this guy still here... Even judges should go through mental evaluation just to be sure they give sane judgements.

[@epenethmuthu]

Superb Sujith you are brave where you tell the truth, let truth triumph over your HW News.

[@francisdias1991]

In the same way the the Court which has the power should pull up the Enforcment Agencies for misusing their powers. Raiding an opposition MP, MLA, person etc for some illegal offence and letting him loose if he changes his party or his thoughts. If not then he is sent to prison without bail. Punish everyone who is an offender whether he is willing to change parties, his thinking or not.

[@flowdesigner]

Bravo!

[@shabbirkapadia2555]

You absolutely correct.

[@rajsekhernair6949]

Sujitji Good Topic. Good linkage 👏👏👏 Naming & shaming such top govt servants bhaloo.Well said CJI👏👏👏🙏 👍

[@rama91152]

Agree with you completely.

[@jivinshaji2103]

Spot on sir,

[@dennisadias2662]

You nailed it.

[@stephenraj7834]

🔥🔥🔥👌👌🌟

[@talk2rony]

Well said Sir.

[@alokekumarbengani7892]

Absolutely correct

[@krishnamoorthynaidu5048]

Yes we should raise our voice against those who have been and the elected representatives

[@rbunga1]

WHATEVER YOUR INTENTIONS MR SUJIT, YOU SAID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

[@hafizdubai7765]

Sujit sir, truth of India… thanks for bringing it up again

[@karthikkkk1239]

spot on

[@bharatidasgupta2140]

Excellent story.

[@RameshBob]

This is a grave violation existing power of position either any constitutional body

[@sheriefernandez6217]

Didn't our CJI say that if the government doesn't act, the judiciary will?

[@syamalatadinada6790]

Agree totally.

[@user-oj4lr8gm2q]

Thanks for talking this topic

[@jockimlobo1891]

Excellent sir.

[@insiyamamuwala341]

People in authority tend to throw their weight around, ' do you know who I am', wala. Most times feel like kicking their backside.

[@sanjeevasahgal3390]

Excellent analogy.

[@sureshkumartg]

We call ourselves largest democracy in this world

[@geoffreymachado6932]

We are very proud of you, Sir; to speak freely & fearlessly, a journalist's character & nature has to be flawless, honest, trustworthy...... and, only a person with a clean, righteously upright image, upbringing can dare to speak up for society!!!

[@thelmadias8330]

I agree with every word that proceeds from your mouth. You speak so fearlessly...... inspite of both of us being tax payers, I can't relate the way you do. I'm shaken up with the happenings in our country , and I can see the face of all my Indian brothers and sisters in gloom and pain . ..... Just because the hierarchy is the ultimate, and not answerable to anyone on any topic. My lips are sealed and my hands tied. There's no much the poor man can do even though he is right. I love watching your episodes only bcoz I admit that you speak honestly.. God bless you Sujit.

[@kishanraychura6230]

very right sir

[@tarhkakuhura7972]

True journalism 💪💪

[@sandipchaudhari6224]

We need such person

[@user-wi6gi5eq7f]

You are right You have hit the nail Thanks for enlightening the minds of the Indians.

[@pradiptaguha509]

Maybe this the "New India" that people are talking about

[@gifreethagal4400]

Thanking you For your good intentions we are unable to do something for a change

[@suhasinister]

Please also suggest how and which forums we can raise these questions.

[@MohamedAli-fb4cb]

Sir, it is very unacceptable and uncared attitude of the position holders that to from the "learned judges". If these leaders are switched to "me me mode" what justice we can expect.

[@kolandairaj8615]

In the coming days we may see far more " interesting" things like this. Our country is being hauled by Double Engine piloted by our world- renouned Vishvaguru- the master of everything.

[@Anon999-qk3ue]

sir, thank you as always for giving your perspective. Can you please do some segments also on role of media and journalism in this accountability? You have touched upon it many times in past, but we would love a dedicated segment from a senior journalist such as yourself.

[@moazzambangalore5596]

When doctors treat a patient and when he recover, some of us equate Doctor to God. Our society is unable to diffrenciate God and human being

[@samueldsilva7662]

Excellent Sujit Sir. You have put your words very strongly put. Hope these kind so called pillars of judiciary or the beurocrates who take undue advantage of their power and enjoy the facilities in our money must be thrown out. Hope the citizens of this country understand your words. Hats off to you sir.

[@vidyapotdar]

You are perfectly said that all politicians and Bureaucrats supposed to be a service provided community but they behaved as a owner of this country. No any common people can forced them to do serve to us. Because common people mentality to become a slave from ancient times. This is the very painful tragedy of our country.

[@jayadevanpullara9465]

You did right

[@jaforiqbalsiddiqui4043]

😢 Very sad reality of Indian politics 😢

[@zachariahgeorgek2680]

I fully endorse your view sir ji

[@harryherbert4091]

Shame on our beaurocrats and all our so called " bosses". Thank you Mr. Sujit Nair for bringing such things which otherwise goes unheard or unnoticed, to light.

[@aliaa7510]

Very true Sir, it's we who have made them Hope at least now we can understand n change

[@manbhadiengdoh2263]

I hope we should get more Nair Nair in future

[@asheshdutta]

What Mr Nair discussed here is rooted in our culture and ethos. These leaders came from withing our community and their ideas are moulded by their families and society around them. Most of these leaders are self-centred and motivated by their own agenda. Unless they rise above their personal interest and support broader community, the faith of an average Indians is doomed.

[@debashisdeb]

Really a sad state of affairs indeed. I differ slightly on your point of view due to the simple fact that Power has corrupted us. Who cares for morality, dutyfulness, public service in our country ? There may an extremely rare breed of few people who really cares ! I am a Sr Citizen and have been seeing the traversity of democracy. Human feelings does not matter to all those who have pover! Keep posting your thoughtful videos and hope it might wake up some power hungry person from deep slumber. Jai Hind

[@sushantsahu7720]

Now pet dogs are more loved than elder parents by the so called... people

[@ronaldvaz2567]

Justice goes by the foot of the Chancellor, is a old English saying. This incident proves that it is true!

[@joshuakirubaraj9863]

Thanks for bringing it to light. Very disturbing to see all values get erased.

[@irenedsouza8017]

I am a senior citizen and a woman It happens in our building society the watchman is made to bow to committee members.

[@preal246]

🙄🤦shameless and irresponsible 😢

[@titusrock1290]

Yes sir! You are right on the dot!

[@tintianoTV]

Much-needed video. Thank you, Sir.

[@balas7190]

Aren't the elected mostly posting judges who favour them. At the same time we all need to question this, thank you Sir.

[@Drkp23]

Rich and powerful dogs life and value is more compared to poor humans… I still believe serious animal lovers like Mrs. Menaka Gandhi may not agree with you…

[@sabu378]

Shameful

[@romeshkirpalani848]

Sir, your video is so disturbing...we, the people of India, must react in our own capacity....Jai Hind❤

[@vigneshwaran9592]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tulasidasreddy]

Good topic. Keep going

[@pradiptaguha509]

This was the exact thing that Chomsky was trying to tell us.
