[@yrnagar527]

Such debate should be on TV. It's healthy and democratic talks and carry messages for public of the truth behind the judicial systems in India.

[@subhakantasethi3562]

Sir ! Modi tv won't allowed

[@malaikkannumanickam4569]

The live law did a great job to Judiciary by the conversation and salute to all the stalwarts of legal field.

[@Gpradak]

Sachin pilot Rahul Gandhi Varun Gandhi Sasi tharur Kapil sibal DK Shivkumar Revand Reddy Priyanka Gandhi Jairam Ramesh.... Great mindedness.. Great personality. No hate speech... humanly gentle man. Love to see them rulling India 🎉🎉❤ Listening to their interviews always been a joy.. inclusive politics.. ❤

[@gulamrasoolwathar6091]

Best debate we never come a cross. God bless all the participants.

[@srikanth5229]

😮

[@themagic8310]

We need more discussions like these...great work.

[@tapannath3517]

Meaningful discussion . In case of appointment of judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts, there must be full time Independent Committee free from incumbent executives ,incumbent justices and political parties. In the matter of post retirement assignment of judges there must be cooling off period of atleast 5 yrs. .

[@pradeepdatta2168]

Excellent programme and very intellectual conversation. All of you are doing yeoman service for the Indian public. Unfortunately Honble Apex Court has delayed taking up important cases on priority like Ayodhya , section 370 and Electoral Bonds.

[@amyraTG]

Quite a few high courts are really of no use these days because of some judges uncontrollable inclination towards certain political parties!

[@napoleantuscano7091]

Very nice discussion regarding the judiciary by top intellectual lawyers . Just like us lawyers get valuable thoughts. Thanks.

[@motidivya]

I strongly believe this was the most fruitful and intellectual conversation I have seen ever. Hats off.

[@acinerhakho651]

This is the assurance that we have intellectual people in India who love our country . May God use you all as a mighty instrument . Salute for this initiative.

[@navinchauhan8517]

Good conversation by honourable advocates of the supreme court of India as great thinker for democracy and judiciary

[@yambulb]

Salute to These courageous personalities keep it up. God bless you. From Kenya.

[@anjanivatsa5]

I absolutely agree with whatever they're saying. But when I heard sibal say the government shall not have any say in the appointment of judges... It was a 1000 deaths of Irony.

[@bentodacunha6591]

This discussion must be on the TV. Any Judge who joins party in one year after retiring must go to jail, this guys are not true judge, but cannot given this type of judges

[@sudhir7382]

We need these kind of programs more often. This will definitely educate the common man.

[@somamajumdarbbbehala9304]

Really great conversation . Respect & Hats of to you all. 🙏

[@user-ne7br9hl9h]

Great souls great subject and great exchanges❤

[@abhisheknv8672]

Mr Bhushan ur an asset to India. People will know ur value one day. Thank you sir. Mr Sibal too

[@rajivkulkarni6819]

Excellent debate. Honest views. Sad state of Indian judiciary more since 2014. Raj Canada

[@avinitp68]

These eminent advocates should also talk about the huge number of pending cases and everlasting resolution. Because of this delay in judicial process we have totally lost the confidence in judiciary as it gives preference to the cases of elites and rich people.

[@m.ksingh1475]

Excellent💯👍👏💯👍👏 program the issues were raised are real which have the deep concerns about the future of judiciary system and in what manners it can affect the future of indian democracy

[@SurinderSingh-iu9gk]

Since judges get benefits from govt even after retirement , they may not be allowed any post under govt . After 5 years of cooling period they go for any post under govt but after surrendering all benefits being taken by them. I m not judicial person but from audit background.

[@kaustubhraizada]

its basic sense you do not need law degree

[@the_0_man]

In 54 years of Congress rule, I wonder what Congress party might have done to Judiciary when even media was not free in those times (mainstream is not free even now), if this much harm BJP can do in just 10 years of continous rule. Democracy is a myth just as privacy is in present digital age.

[@vikasdutta9953]

Very good conversation I wish from this kind of discussions our news media could learn something Thanks to Kapil sibbal sir for initiating this Best of luck !

[@surindersinghsaini5050]

salute to your vision and wisdom, what I could see there is no genuine views collaboration with the superior authorities of Supreme court.. It was a very impressive meeting by the Hon,able lawyers of the supreme court .May god bless them with courage to stand up for the right cause and provide the justice to save the Indian constitution ad democracy of Indi🙏🙏a

[@instantsleep2534]

Omg , what’s going on in judiciary,we are believing up to now that, people will get a justice at last in judiciary body 😢 Thank you for bringing

[@charlieviegas6443]

Excellent reviews and knowledge to the highest core dear Adv Kapil sibal and team.....i want this relayed on every Indian languages that common man is concetised.....come with more episodes Sir.❤😊

[@m.ksingh1475]

It's good👍 suggestion❤❤

[@harishkumarjain1331]

Highly objective and frank interaction among our top people. It's not only the judiciary but the bar as well that has to be fiercely independent in order to save and uphold the Rule of Law. They would have to rise above purely personal gains.

[@sreenivasulug4351]

They are top legal minds in India , iam proud of them

[@srikant85]

Wow what a wonderfully enlightening discussion. This current saffron sanghi savarkar mentality wave has taken Indian discourse/debate/discussions back to the stone age apes. Glad to see that still there is some sense prevailing.

[@user-sz1rp8ol5h]

thank you sir hats off intellectual talks it is unfortunate to see some MP did not speak relevant problems concern states knowledge of subjects political parties select dynamic personalities as MP

[@yeh_desh_hai_humara]

I believe the collegium, bar councils, and civil society should have discussions and set a high bar of both morality and submission to the Constitution along with yearly transparent service review based on the judgments decided, withheld or kept pending/reserved for weeks and months.

[@notifyvaccine7107]

Super insights given. I can understand what will happen if the correct action before time.

[@malleshcharmala9887]

Good conversations long live

[@786kebandey4]

Considering Mr Dave's opening remarks..why wud POLITICAL paties entertain any judge in the first place unless they give biased judgement in favour of the political parties

[@subramanyamjosyula2510]

I believe that in the arena of politico-legal conglomerations at the highest levels there shall be some high level blue eyed legal fraternity in each Political Party favouring each other. And there would be no surprise that such high level judicial level quid pro quo connections prevail in the Congress Party also. Such a discussion of that nature may also be telecasted please, if any.

[@missionupsc68]

Great to listen such enlightening conversation and thanks to all advocates for conducting such show the problems in the democracy at any aspect is not always due to the systemic problems but also due to the lack of ethical values and knowledge and The end of democracy is not possible unless its citizens are satisfied with living in an undemocratic environment, hence citizens should demand free and fair institutions from their elected government as the first priority to save democracy.

[@paramamohanta3558]

That is a very heartening hope!

[@deepakyadav-og2uj]

Courage...... It is a fuel for living democratic country.

[@Crusader882]

Amazing Kapil jee and three honorable guests

[@SultanSultan-tm9nn]

Thank you for this conversation 🙏

[@Kathiravan84]

Hats off intellectuals ❤

[@inderjeet9373]

Intectual my foot.....crooks ,,,thieves lawyers

[@SAVANT0007]

These fours are gems of our country

[@muralidhar4844]

See the sensible disagreements ,we need such sensible information. Ideological inclination in the judicial is dangerous

[@HANNAPM]

COLLEGIUM SYSTEM IS NOT AT ALL GOOD BUT IT IS MORE INDEPENDENT THAN IF THE APPOINTMENT WERE WITH THE GOVERNMENT ❤agree with Prashant Bhushan

[@safeern6996]

Great conversation.. rightly pointed out the current affairs.. This practice will kill our judiciary even if the president government is changed.. cooling period is a good option atleast

[@bentodacunha6591]

Term of the govt. No judge can retire and join the ruling party, good point on discussion

[@user-re7yj4kc7f]

Lawyers always proven as vigilant citizen .🙏

[@bravikumar8950]

Good decision. Good reporting .

[@johnjoseph3622]

You are right Dushantji constitutional fathers never imagined our leaders will go so mean.

[@yeh_desh_hai_humara]

❤these conversations. Thank you.

[@letsdiscuss2090]

This is very much needed talk

[@nirensaikia7017]

A new law is required to keep the principles of neutrality, impartiality and dignity of judiciary for function ing healthy democracy in our country. Actually it is worrisome, that our judiciary going to lost its dignity. So, God save the Supreme Court had to written by Justice F. S. Nariman.

[@rahulboruahupsccandidate7822]

vede vede jayate tatwa siddhi -With debate and discussion we can find the truth.Jai hind 🇮🇳🚩

[@manoharb3238]

Very good initiative by Sri kapil sibal

[@mahtabahmad9356]

Surrender Yadav the judge decided Babri demolition criminal case given Additional Lokal by UP Government.

[@syedzakirhussain3839]

Character building and character assessment at all levels of education and proper evaluation and using proper weightage for future career is something which we totallly lack at primary levels.

[@nitinkawatra5065]

Really enjoyed it.

[@Septemberhello]

Great people in these tumultuous time

[@sylviafreeman8200]

God bless you with long lives.

[@benudhardas4268]

Court should sup moto order not to appoint any judges after retirement for minimum 5 years and any such appointment should be with the approval of a committee to be appointed by apex court .There will be nothing else if people loose faith in judiciary

[@bidyasagartewari6168]

Very useful debate.but my question with due respect is only bjp? A list of full of members in many parties.starting from seniority diluted for next cji in Indira resim.what about mr bhushan? Regards Regards

[@dip-tree]

Meenakshi nailed the fundamental issue. We have become a value-degraded society - a self-centric society, and so everything is up for grabs in the name of being 'successful'. The rot has to change right from our homes and school. We need to inspire our young minds to be fearless and push for values one cherishes as opposed to being cowered in fear all the time.

[@ravichona7216]

Too good👍

[@nileshchauhan3984]

To, All Respected Senior Advocates in this conversation ; I, Nilesh Chauhan, was serving as a Judicial Magistrate First Class in the year 2013, at that time after some incidents, I started a campaign for the implementation of the judgment of "Ex-Captain Harish Uppal vs. Union of India & Anr"., but Hon’ble Gujarat High Court had suspended me and after unfair departmental inquiry, I was dismissed, my dismissal was confirmed by Hon’ble Gujarat High Court on judicial ground and by Hon’ble Supreme Court. I need your help for review application. Please help me...!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lalade3443]

Excellent views ❤❤❤❤

[@smartcloud2894]

Wonderful discussion

[@digavalliramachandra4504]

Discussion was started with former justice of Calcutta High Court, Gangopadhyaya; resigning and within 48 hours joining the ruling party: Can we say it is like Campus Recruitment

[@johnkam1318]

wow gaint judges. salute to you all

[@rajkishoretripathy7325]

Sir What is your take on the "Advocates"Protection Act" ?

[@addalavenkataratnam5449]

A bunch of traitors ,some alleged

[@kripajakripa4533]

A bunch of traitors and bafoons are not controlling the nation... Psycho sangis can never digest intellectual discussions and truth..

[@ramaguruswamy1502]

This development is expected since of late the top court has observed ( recent TAMILNADU CASE )that being a sympathizer of a political party is not a disqualification for the post of judgeship. Please remember today's politics is not the one we saw in 60's.

[@NangooSari]

Apart from the criteria of eligibility, as a concern citizen, i think the best way forward are: to ban judges from any post retirement office including rajya sabha seat, independent judicial committee to review the performance of judges of SC as well as HC before appointed him as a judge, and remove the law minister from the collegium system..

[@suryanshmishra8570]

I feel right wings people and lawyer and ex judges who finds themselves ideologically on same page .... They wrote the 2 open letters after watching these videos of Kapil sibbal n live law 😅 I feel these videos have point

[@subhashchanderbhalla1687]

Whatever opinion learner d law practitioners have but one thing is sure ultimately IT IS A MAN WHO MATTER

[@mohammadsaqib5301]

Dave Sir is right!!!!

[@vijayakumarabhi8903]

Here in kerala also certain judges express spl inteterest on certain matters if it is against govt.

[@syedarifahmed1083]

Mr. Sibbal is absolutely correct

[@deepaksinha5362]

Yani ki soocho !! Agar Kapil Sibbal or Manu Singhavi agar CJI bana diye jate to kya hota????

[@ramnarainprasad3683]

देश के लिए दुर्भाग्य कि जज जातिवादी भी है और पार्टीवादी भी है संप्रदायिक भी है ।उनक बहुत सारे फैसलो से झलकता है।

[@simona.v9166]

You eminent lawyers efforts may save the polarising present scenario in the country.

[@anujchaudhvfgffddary7652]

All India judicial exam should be conducted where directly district judge should be selected.only those judges should be promoted to be elligible for high court and Supreme Court judge.merit should prevail

[@sunilbose5847]

wanted this debate should be a copy of Hindi version, so that more number of Hindi audiance can understand the serious issues, Hindi translation on screen can understandable to them. can it be possible ? These serious issues should be propogated to "AAM JANTA"

[@shivakumarkalloor3249]

So called intelligent seniors advocates.

[@ActingKaQeeda]

This discussion would have been democratic if there was someone from the other side also participating

[@ajeetgupta3781]

Jai Hind

[@vijayrao4466]

Sir I selute to all of you

[@gulamrasoolwathar6091]

Common man does not know about the Functioning of judiciary, only bar Association should raise to the occasion and do guide.

[@narasimhanvangalkrishnaswa3028]

What about the guys employing plum posts under Congress.

[@Rupa-nb5uf]

Abhijit gangopadhyay probably coerced to join party , such pity state for judges too .

[@girdharibapna9994]

In Rajasthan many judges have been attending the functions of the legal department of बीजेपी. Akhil bhartiya अधिवक्ता parishad. Legal department of congress has never invited the judges in it's functions as it would be very unfair to the judges.

[@subhakantasethi3562]

Sir ! Can it be in Hindi. Because general people can understand very well.

[@shantaramgaikwad3799]

Reminded of the lyrics of a movie, quote “जिन्हे नाज है हिंद पर वो कहा है”, well here they are!

[@kappil911]

As a lawyer I am sorry to say that judicial officers inclination with political parties are dangerous to our democracy

[@titohyder8428]

Can there be a law enacted that bureaucrats & judges will be barred from joining a political party or any lucrative job at least for three ( cooling off period) years from the date of their retirement or resignation

[@smdigitalbloger]

Ram Nam Satya ha Satya bolo gatya ha guru Bina gati nahi sahi hona chahiye kapil chto

[@venkataratnamchaparala5535]

Very good to listen to some hope for the better future for our country. No one should be appointed for at least for five years after retirement. The retirement age should be increased for Supreme Court at least on the lines of USA/ or upto 70 years. Retirement at 60/ 65 yrs. is making many Govt. Employees for seeking alternative jobs. Nowadays people can work for 70 yrs. due to better health. In the training at the time of recruitment the moral values and ideals specially the aspect of Dharma should be stressed. I had seen it vibrant in the villages at the time of Independence. 'Sathyameva Jayathe', was inscribed in our National Emblem. The educational system and the elders should think and develop "Healthy Public Opinion", which Gandhiji effectively used. The public awareness in this bonds case should be an eye opener and it should be continued for the betterment of public life and the image of our great country with great cultural heritage. I hope and wish people like you will continue the public debate developed at this time.

[@paulmorais476]

👍

[@krishnadhannath9307]

Still few judges in Kolkata High Court are behaving still as a political cadre. Pl. see Sir.

[@user-re7yj4kc7f]

🙏🙏🙏

[@pritamroy2368]

If you are talking about loyalty of Justice Ganguly then you should also talk about the allegation made by Mr Ganguly about one of judges of Kolkata high court there were allegations against him that he called one of the judges in his chamber & adviced her not to be so harsh on Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee & also there is a big allegation against him that that this particular judge didn't take transfer to the odisha high court inspite of his transfer order was made two years back.

[@rajeevbhandari1594]

just because judgment is not in your favor it cannot be construed as biased and quid pro quo ...this notion iteslf compromises independence of judiciary.
