Why Sr Adv Dushyant Dave thinks judiciary is responsible for India turning into authoritarian State

[@nirmalaprabhakaran3586]

He is absolutely true. If Judiciary had not buckled to the dictatorship government and called the spade a spade, we wouldn't be in such a predicament.

1. Senior Advocates are delighted when Govt & Politicians ( who pass laws & decisions which are not tenable , can be challenged by other political parties & corporate) cases come up at Honourable High Courts & Supreme Courts when they can charge very heavy fees for arguments 2. Why so much time is given to various litigants or on cases pending / taken up by Lower Courts to Higher Courts to make judgement orders 3. A simple case like eviction from a flat / house take more than a year at Honourable Lower Courts. 4. Non appearance of Advocate or his client on the hearing date has to be treated as disrespect to Law & warning be recorded / fined .

[@agonnoga6100]

The way few shady individuals can so easily subvert and subjugate the entire system without any opposition shows why India was so easily occupied by foreign invaders for almost 1000 years. It is in our DNA to be servile and suffer injustices no matter how outrageous the atrocity.

Mr Dave should walk across to the govt schools here in WB and interact with the primary school teachers and see why such decisions were taken . We are churning out more goons than students here.

[@tsrini68]

Mr Dave says the judge who gave verdict of dismissing 25000 teachers resigns next day to join BJP & contest elections. Clearly justice not done here. Instead his judgement lost entire credibility whatever the findings of judge. Now tell, from which school these kinds of judges came from???

[@abhijitneogy3066]

@tsrini68......Please go through the Kolkata High Court order which stated the compulsion in terminating the entire 2016 Panel (around 26000 candidates)because of deep routed corruption as well as absolute non cooperation on the part of the state government to identify the status of the legitimate candidates. The concern Board didn't put any effort to segregate the illegally appointed candidates( to the tune of 8k) and tried their best to confuse the High Court after mingling them with the host of legally appointed candidates. Ex Justice Abhijit Ganguly brought this huge corruption to the purview of the court and at the end a division bench of the High Court gave the final verdict of termination of the entire Panel which is now challenged in the Supreme Court. Had the State Government been transparent about showing their stand in favour of the legitimate candidates during the hearing Process in the Kolkata High Court the the present confusion could have been rightly averted.

[@prabirpal2394]

I beg to differ with the view offered by Mr. Dave. Several orders passed by Justice (Retd) Gangopadhyay passed through the judicial scrutiny of the Supreme Court long before he took voluntary retirement. So, it was futile to curse Justice Gangopadhyay at this stage. Mr. Dave also conveniently refrained from mentioning the 17 odd irregularities being pointed out by the Division Bench of Calcutta High Court. Instead of pointing fingers at the present CJI, he should introspect whether he is doing any justice to the thousands of deprived candidates, and for that matter to the society at large, by supporting the corrupt acts of his client merely for earning few bucks.

[@biswajitbhattacharya3621]

Higher Judiciary should be impartial and act within the purview of Constitution of India and settled laws, while they are working in the justice delivery system. Also judiciary should always keep in mind that "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied".

[@arunrao487]

My observations: 1) If there is a quid pro quo, it is unacceptable and needs to be addressed right away. This has always been the case in the past, but we voted BJP to get this fixed. They need to do so immediately. 2) To say that the constitution is the only religion that I follow is a huge problem. The constitution was not created in vacuum. It has to be based on the prevalent native culture that has come out of this geography. So let us not assume that the constitution is a perfect document that is not subject to a review.

I fully agree with Advocate Dave. For a political leader, including Prime Minister, or head of government, seeking publicity/ popularity through media is a necessity. For a judicial officer, specially the Head of judiciary of a country, it is a sin; especially, when the issue of millions of pending cases in courts, requires urgent attention of the Head of judiciary. I do not remember a single day over previous two years of Justice Chandrachud as Chief Justice of Supreme Court, when he was not in News for only publicity.

I do not wish to comment on what Mr Dave says but I am sure he will definitely agree with me that by and large Supreme Court lawyers have also failed the nation. If Mr Dave says justice is out of reach for the common man is because Supreme Court lawyers charge exorbitant fees for each hearing and it is no secret that a tacit understanding exists between many if not all opposing lawyers to make sure many hearings take place before a judgement. Lawyers must look in the mirror before pointing fingers at the judiciary. People have gone bankrupt paying Supreme Court lawyers fees. Litigants do not fear approaching Supreme Court as much as they fear Supreme Court lawyers fees. I request Mr Dave to also introspect. Thanks you

Biggest problems why judiciary is not a great profession for todays young generation: 1)Law Grads even from National Universities like NLSIU does not get a well paying job in judicial circles after graduation. 2)No basic income fixed or honorarium provided to practicing advocates for over 10yrs. 3)The Judiciary does not have a basic security force to protect its own advocates and Judges. 4)There must be law interpreters and advisers in every department to check the constitutionality of the laws framed by policy makers and finally passed in the parliament. This will reduce embarassment to the Govt before framing bigger policies.Employment and quality of governance enhancement. 5)No welfare measures like housing or free site,insurance, transport allowance,medical cover for a practising advocate of 10yrs experience.
