Supreme Court Has Let the People Down, Abdicated Duty to Defend Fundamental Rights-Justice AP Shah

"We are living in times of undeclared emergency" This statement Mr. Shah sums up everything.

Justice A.P. Shah was one of the greatest CJs of Madras HC. He was denied elevation to SC due to the opaque politics in the collegium system. We all have great respect for the present Attorney General.

Even the outspoken person like Justice Shah who has the guts to speak the truth had difficulties to admit openly on certain direct questions asked to him... this shows how far down the track we have reached and where We as a nation are heading towards... Judiciary should be independent from any influence of Executive and secondly Liberties and rights of all fellow countrymen should be upheld equally without delays... "Justice delayed is equal to justice denied".... for true delovepement and progress of our Country, rights and liberties of the last common man standing in the que should be equally protected and upheld...

[@ezazable]

@@janami-dharmam Judicial administration of Mughals Under the Mughal Empire the country had an efficient system of government with the result that the system of justice took shape. In this period the unit of judicial administration was under Qazi; an office which was borrowed from the Caliphate. Every provincial capital had its Qazi and at the head of judicial administration was the Supreme Qazi of the empire. In addition, every town and every village large enough to be classed as Qasba had its own Qazi. In theory, a Qazi had to be ‘a Muslim Scholar of blameless life, thoroughly conversant with the prescriptions of the sacred law. On the appointment of a Qazi, he was charged by the Imperial Diwan in the words like; ‘Be just’, ‘be honest’, ‘be impartial’. Hold trials in the presence of the parties and at the court house and the seat of Government. Do not accept presents from the people of the place where you serve, not attend entertainments given by anybody and everybody. Write your decrees, sale deeds, mortgage bonds and other legal documents very carefully, so that learned men may not pick holes in them and bring you to shame. Know poverty to be your glory’. - See more at: southasiajournal.net/judicial-system-of-mughal-and-british-india/

[@manoharanthottarath7071]

It is a very enlightening experience to listen to the interview. The honourable Justice Shah spoke with a lot of conviction and made very finer legal arguments and points of view. Our judiciary should be impartial. Justice should not only be done but should be seen to be so. For poor people without political backing and money power, it is still a far cry to get justice. If a young student activist or a journalist is denied bail and put behind bars for years without trial, what would happen to him? It will ruin his whole life and the lives of the family. A bleak future is starring at them.
