Say a person was caught by police on suspicion of pick-pocketing. The police produce the accussed before the magistrate in turn he remands him for judicial custody. Let us consider. The punishment for this offence pick-pocketing as per law is 6 months imprisonment. However the case drags on for 3 years finally the court finds him guilty of offence & orders for 6 months imprisonment. Totally the offender serves 42 months imprisonment sentence in practice. In some cases the courts consider the time already spent by the accussed behind the bars while giving judgement. In this example even if the offender is let free taking 6 months imprisonment sentence the offender has been given excess sentence of 36-6=30 months.
Say a rich industrialist is accused of rs.20 crores tax evasion he is let free on a personal bond of rs.1 lakh. Stamp paper scam kingpin karim lala telgi has swindled government to the tune of thousands of crores of rupees only few cases are registered against him. That too in one out of those cases involving rs.45 lakh worth stamp sale judge has given him rigorous imprisonment plus a fine of rs.50000.
Even within prisons the number of prisoners per sq ft area no of doctors hospital beds medicines available weight of food per day given to prisoners are all less & much below the statuotary limits. The food health care living conditions of prisoners under-trials are worse than pigs. The prison authorities are utterly corrupt which has been brought into light again & again by the media. If a poor prisoner questions the illegal acts of the officials he is subjected to 3
The law of limitation which stipulates time limits for filing various cases is also biased towards the government as a party & rich mighty. For the purposes of evidences filing of cases one needs various government records. The concerned officials don't provide those records for years unless bribed & sit over the files for years. Some times by making absurd illogical file notings rejects it back. There is no time limit for the performance of duties by public servants. When a commoner don�t get relevant records files evidences in time how can he file cases in time without those records evidences ?
Nowadays numerous cases of irregularities charges of corruption against judges are coming to light. However in such cases judges are asked to resign from service but no criminal prosecution against them is instituted only in cases involving lower court judges it is done. When a case of irregularity by a judge in a specific present case comes there are every possibility that in the past also he has committed the same in cases handled by him which has not come to light. In such instances all the cases handled by that particular judge throught his career must be reviewed but is not done why ? does not it amount to cover-ups ?
In many cases the higher courts have turned down the verdicts of the lower courts let free the innocents absolved innocents of charges & annulled death sentences when appeals came before them. However in all such cases the lower court judges must be punished for giving out wrong judgements meating out injustice to innocents. Here a fact must be noted only a fraction of cases goes in appeal to higher courts as in majority of cases the poor people lack the financial might to make the appeal. The so-called free legal services authority pre-judges the cases before giving legal aid. As a result many innocents poor people resign to their fates suffer injustice in courts of law undergo imprisonment punishment some times even death sentence. So the urgent need of the hour is to incorporate jury system or some outside monitoring system to review cases as & when decided.
In many cases involving the rich & mighty like telgi case proceedings are conducted in-camera in judge's chambers or proceedings are conducted through video conferencing outside from public gaze. The tapes are not made public and the public cann't even ascertain the validity of tapes whether it is edited doctored.
One of the basic reasons for delayed justice & worse prison conditions in India is low number of judges police personnel higher rate of case adjournments and finally low amount of financial grants made by the government to judicial department / police department. The government states that it doesn't have enough money to provide for judiciary & police. As a result fundamental / human rights of innocent commoners are thwarted. The state governments & GOI is one of either parties in 75% of cases before various courts in India it is the biggest litigant & is influencing the judiciary by controlling the grants recruitment to judiciary & by enticing some with post-retirement postings.
The government has got money to spend on lavish parties of VVIPs. IAS officers serving non-veg foods alchoholic drinks their foreign jaunts. 5-star bungalows limousines interior decorations of their bungalows etc which is of higher priority importance whether the luxury of VVIPs or the fundamental / human rights of commoners ? the courts should answer. The courts have the legal powers to order governments to provide enough financial grants to it however it is keeping mum turning blinds eye to crimes of VVIP�s the government rewards such judges with salary hikes promotions luxury cars bungalows perks and post-retirement postings sites at judicial lay-out yelahanka. Bangalore etc.
is known for using the constitutional mandate and authority to initiate actions of public interest. The court in the past has even taken note of newspaper reports to initiate suo motu actions against suspected breach of law and misuse of office by public servants. This earnestness and enthusiasm has not been thus far reflected in the Indian courts' approach against scrutinising the activities of the courts and its judges. On the contrary the Indian courts have been very parochial in its approach in facing criticism.
Earlier this year the Supreme Court of India had forced Mr. Vijay Shekhar a journalist with a television news channel who exposed the caucus of a corrupt magistrate his court staff and some lawyers in Gujarat state in the "Warrants for Cash" scam to apologise to the court or to face a term in jail for contempt of court. The court staff and the lawyers were caught on camera negotiating and accepting bribe for the magistrate for issuing arrest warrants. In the episode which was telecast nationwide the magistrate after accepting bribes issued arrest warrants on false charges against the President of
The conviction and sentencing of journalists of Mid-Day for publishing information about the conduct of Mr. Sabharwal has brought to the fore the issue of judicial accountability. The Indian judiciary is one of the most powerful judiciaries of the world. The conduct of the judiciary has a direct impact upon the life of the ordinary people of the country. It is imperative in these circumstances that a state institution of such high powers must be transparent and accountable for its actions. The courts in
the only way to remove a judge from the High Court or the Supreme Court is by way of impeachment. This constitutional provision has failed miserably. Its ineffectiveness was clearly demonstrated in the case of Justice V. Ramaswami. At the same time despite verbal homilies the courts and judges have been the most reluctant to evolve even a self-monitoring mechanism for accountability. Such a situation has caused enormous arrogance and abuse of power.
under the Contempt of Courts Act. 1971 the term 'contempt' is not defined. Therefore if any person makes adverse comments against the court or a judge the power to punish for "scandalising the court…" is frequently invoked. This approach is considered obscure in most established jurisdictions.
The contempt of court action must not be an attempt to protect the dignity of the court but to promote the administration of justice. The dignity of the court is promoted by the court being humble enough to face criticism whereas promotion of justice is to be carried out by removing all hindrances in the delivery of justice. By the unrestrained use of contempt of court actions the courts in India are in fact derogating from their duty to safeguard the Constitution of the country which also guarantees freedom of speech and expression in Article 19 (1).
The honour of the judge and the judiciary - a state institution through which a judge is supposed to serve the people - is promoted and protected by the openness of the judge and the judiciary to face any criticism. Intolerance to scrutiny and lack of openness equates the judge and the judiciary with a dictator.
At this pace the Indian judiciary once known for its eloquence and its contribution to the advancement of free thought and expression will soon be reduced to an egotistical institution. Such a judiciary is definitely not what modern
However the above stated public servants preferred to violate law themselves & to protect the criminals. The public servants & the government must be role models in law abiding acts for others to emulate & follow if a student makes a mistake it is excusable & can be corrected by the teacher if the teacher himself makes a mistake all his students will do the same mistake if a thief steals he can be caught legally punished & reformed if a police himself commits crime many thieves go scot-free under his patronage even if a police public servant commits a crime he can be legally prosecuted & justice can be sought by the aggrieved.
Q18 india preaches non-violence panchasheel principles to the world. In india more than half the population are poor people are starving to death. Inspite these background. GOI funded & aided terrorist outfits in former east Pakistan ensuring the creation of Bangladesh. GOI has funded & aided terrorist outfits like LTTE. TULF. ETC in srilanka. MQM in Pakistan. In turn these terrorist outfits have murdered thousands of innocents in those countries. Are these acts of GOI just & legal ? Is not GOI responsible for all those murders of innocents ? has GOI paid any compensation to those victims or their family mebers ? why not ?
Q21 in india. TADA. POTA is being rampantly misused by police. Even where there are no problems of terrorism. TADA / POTA is being slapped against innocents even children. In M. M. Hills of Karnataka state. STF personnel charged tribal people with TADA on frivolous charges of taking lunch to veerappan stiching dress for the forest brigand etc where as the prominent political film sports personalities who have links with underworld anti national elements & attended parties hosted by dawood Ibrahim other dons in gulf countries else where. But these hi-fi people are not charged with TADA / POTA ? why ?
Q22. Film actor sanjay dutt had contacts with underworld & fully knowing well the criminal objectives of criminals hid the dangerous arms & ammunition in his home which were intended for terrorizing public. However mr dutt is not charged with TADA / POTA instead he is charged with illegal possession of arms act ( which is normally applied to farmers who use illegal home made guns to scare away animals birds in their farms ). Why this favourable treatment of mr dutt by police ? prosecution ? is this because dutt is politically mighty & rich ?
Q24 recently in Bangalore police nabbed criminals belonging to international criminal syndicate selling duplicate nokia mobiles. Every nokia mobile comes with 15 digit IMEI number this number is also used by police for tracking criminals. In consumer dispute at consumer disputes redressal forum Mysore CD 49/05 nokia company stated that all it's products come with IMEI number only & stated that the product in dispute sold by tata indicom dealer M/S INTOTO COMMUNICATIONS. Mysore are not their's as it doesn't have IMEI numbers. Further nokia stated they don't have any business relationship with either tata indicom or it's dealer. However the tata indicom dealer stated that indeed his products are genuine first hand products but doesn't have IMEI numbers this proves the dealer in collusion with tata company is selling illegal nokia mobile hand sets & cheating the public. These mobiles are evading taxes as well as these are without IMEI numbers best buy for criminal elements who want to evade police tracking. What police are doing ?
Q32. Our constitutional frame workers gave legal immunity privileges to certain constitutional functionaries so that they are not burdened with frivolous court cases & can concentrate on their constitutional duties. But these privileges doesn't cover the individual actions of those public servants like rape murder dowry harassment tax evasion misuse of office etc but still law enforcement / police department is bound to send request to home ministry seeking permission & home ministry sits over files for months. This gives the accussed ample time to destroy evidences. Is it right & legal ?
Q85 judges are not employees of government so they are ineligible to be the members of "Karnataka state government judicial department house building co-operative society".

to review the sentence given to cine actor mr sanjay dutt. He is charged under illegal possession of arms the stand of prosecution is biased the culprit cine actor kept the arms knowing fully well for what purpose it is being kept he had had regular contacts with anti-national underworld elements.

Recently in the media an interview with the present chief justice of India was reported. In the interview the honourable CJI stated that he is against any compulsory disclosures to be made by judges ie he is against any external supervision of judges performance as any self respecting judge would not like this. He is for voluntary disclosures by judges themselves. It is true thinking on the same lines our constitutional forefathers thought that only people with self respect personal integrity will come to occupy high constitutional offices in parliament legislature & judiciary as at the dawn of independence there were great educationists statesmen in parliament judiciary in the whole of public service that is the reason they have left out blank in drafting disciplinary proceedings against erring judges ministers. MLAs. MPs. They have not even dreamt of the present situation now see the opposite individuals facing murder rape extortion charges are in parliament state legislatures corruption is rampant in judiciary. These facts have been publicly acknowledged by union cabinet ministers supreme court judges themselves. This problem has grown out of proportion due to failure of self regulation transparency by judiciary & parliament.
Even certain technicalities actions of the judiciary are biased for the rich & mighty. The cases of commoners drag on for years months without a hearing whereas the special leave petitions which only rich can afford & other cases which the judge thinks urgent comes for hearing at the shortest time & even interim orders are issued. The judiciary in convenient cases initiates suo-motto action based on media reports considers e-mails post cards of high profile individuals / NGOs as PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATIONS and takes action. Whereas when commoners send appeals for justice concerning public good about violation of fundamental/human rights & obstruction to performance of fundamental duties those are not even considered.
Honourable CJI is only concerned about the self respect of judges what about the self respect of common people. When a commoner asks for accountability of judiciary or parliament he is slapped with contempt charges what about his self respect ? When innocent commoners are arrested without warrants illegally detained beaten up by police what happens to the self respect of those individuals ? who bothers about the shame job losses broken marriages fall of community relationships his whole family suffers as a result ? due to corrupt police officers sometimes innocents are put behind the bars unable to pay the bail amount they suffer in jail for years while the real crook who is rich will be roaming outside on bail. Ofcourse finally the court may absolve that poorman of charges but what about his self respect the trauma his whole family faces ? what about poor people who unable to bear police 3
Nowadays numerous scandals involving ministers. MLAs. MPs are reported in the media. The government drags it feet for months sometimes years to give legal sanction for prosecution thereby indirectly aiding the tainted in manipulation of evidences records. Finally the tainted are let-off for lack of evidences in courts. In high profile cases opposition parties raises hullaballo an enquiry / parliamentary committee is formed to inquire into the issue. The committee takes months to complete it's findings the government takes months to table the report months to take action & months to table action taken report. Finally. VVIP is let off the hook even if found guilty he resigns from the membership of the house.
In the same manner senior judges facing charges of irregularities / corruption are either asked to resign or not allotted any judicial work. Only in rarest cases impeachment motion is brought about by parliament.
In this manner on quid pro quo basis the functioning style action time of judiciary & parliament are mutually helpful. Instead of dragging on the cases for years spending lakhs of rupees the tainted ministers judges can be subjected to scientific tests like polygraph brain mapping etc & the truth can be found out but not followed why ?
Just see the recent media reports about justice bhalla. See the recent reports in "vijaya karnataka' about whole irregularities in recruitment process by Karnataka public service commission. KPSC selects candidates for quasi-judicial positions like taluk magistrates tax officers labour officers etc what about UPSC. JUDGES SELECTION COMMITTEE etc ? when an unfit person pays bribe to get a job it is to reap more profits afterwards. Naturally corruption spreads. Just remember "ROOST RESORT SCANDAL" involving selectors- high court judges & the candidates - newly selected women judges.
The commoners do have self respect as VVIPs & in the spirit of equitable justice VVIPs must be treated on par with commoners with respect to enforcement of law. Or else it will go against the letter & spirit of constitution & violative of people's fundamental rights. Ofcourse there are honest persons in public service � judiciary parliament it is an humble appeal with full respects to them to legally prosecute their corrupt colleagues.
Simply because the favoured ones � the judges will give favourable judgements when the cases of these godfather's & their cronies comes before them � the prodigal sons. As in other wings of government corruption has spread it's tentacles far & wide in the judiciary also. Remember " roost resort"scandal" � wherein the newly selected women judges were returning favours immorally to their selectors � high court judges of karnataka. We have seen various media reports about crimes of judges like- attempt to rape murder practice of untouchability misusing medical re-imbursement scheme receiving kickbacks in the form of royalty for a book lifting furniture from govt quarters dishonouring national flag false affidavit of age underworld link etc however what disciplinary actions were taken such erring judges no news at all. Even HRW persistently requested the CJI about the same no reply till date.
Our constitution has given independence to judges to freely make their own inference interpretation oflaw so as to give an impartial just judgement. Our constitutional frame workers thought that our judges will be wise enough to perform within the realm of established jurisprudence & logical reasoning. As per law the public don't have a right to question the action jurisprudence of a judge with respect to any judgement. The public can only appeal. This independence of decision making given to judges coupled with legal immunity given to them is being misused by some corrupt judges. These judges are giving out biased judicial orders without the backing of any logical reasoning or established jurisprudence. If a commonman questions these corrupt judges about their actions it is termed as " contempt of court" the commonman is punished & the voice seeking the truth is silenced forever.
The corruption among judiciary is more wide spread in lower judiciary & quasi-judicial bodies like landappellate authorities licensing authorities etc a criminal in the garb of a judge is more lethal than 1000 hard core criminals put together. Hereby. HRW urges the honourable chief justice of
5 in bangalore yelahanka judicial lay-out how the residential sites worth lakhs of rupees were allotted to high ranking judges just for few thousands by the karnataka govt judicial dept employees housing co-operative society? The judges are not govt of karnataka employees & govt of karnataka is a party in nearly 70% of the cases before the courts.
3RD DEGREE TORTURE PERPETRATED BY POLICE IN INDIA- Gross violations of human rights by policeAt the outset. HRW salutes the few honest police personnel who are silently doing their duties inspite of pressures harassment bypolitical bosses & corrupt superiors inspite of frequent transfers promotion holdups etc overcoming the lure of bribe ,those few are silently doing their duties without any publicity or fanfare we salute them & pay our respects to them and hereby appeal to those few honest to catch their corrupt colleagues. The police are trained to crack open the cases of crimes by just holding onto a thread of clue. Based on that clue they investigatelike "Sherlock holmes" and apprehend the real criminals nowadays when police are under various pressures stresses – they arefrequently using 3rd degree torture methods on innocents. Mainly there are 3 reasons for this :1) when the investigating officer (I. O) lacks the brains of Sherlock holmes to cover-up his own inefficiency he uses 3rd degreetorture on innocents.2) When the I. O is biased towards rich powerful crooks to frame innocents & to extract false confessions from them. 3rd degreetorture is used on innocents.3) When the I. O is properly doing the investigations but the higher-ups need very quick results – under work stress I. O uses 3rddegree torture on innocents. Nowhere in statuette books police are legally authorized to punish let alone torture the detainees / arrested / accussed / suspects. Only the judiciary has the right to punish the guilty not the police. Even the judiciary doesn't have the right to punish the accussed / suspects then how come police are using 3rd degree torture unabetted. Even during encounters police only have the legal right authority to immobilize the opponents so as to arrest them but not to kill them. There is a reasoning among some sections of society & police that use of 3RD DEGREE TORTURE by police is a detterent of crimes. It is false & biased. Take for instance there are numerous scams involving 100's of crores of public money – like stock scam fodder scam etc involving rich businessmen. VVIP crooks. Why don't police use 3rd degree torture against such rich crooks and recover crores of public money where as the police use 3rd degree torture against a pick-pocketer to recover hundred rupees stolen ? double standards by police. In media we have seen numerous cases of corrupt police officials in league with criminals. For the sake of bribe such police officials bury cases destroy evidences go slow frame innocents murder innocents in the name of encounter etc why don't police use 3rd degree torture against their corrupt colleagues who are aiding criminals anti nationals ? double standards by police. All the bravery of police is shown before poor innocents tribals dalits before them police give the pose of heroes. Whereas ,before rich. VVIP crooks they are zeroes. They are simply like scarecrows before rich crooks. Torture in any form by anybody is inhuman & illegal. For the purpose of investigations police have scientific investigative tools likepolygraph brain mapping lie detector etc these scientific tools must be used against rich crooks & petty criminals without bias hereby we urge the GOI & all state governments :1) to book cases of murder against police personnel who use 3rd degree torture on detainees and kill detainees in the name ofencounter killings.2) To dismiss such inhuman cruel personnel from police service and to forfeit all monetary benefits due to them like gratuity ,pension etc.3) To pay such forfeited amount together with matching government contribution as compensation to family of the victim's of 3rd degree torture & encounter killings.4) To review all cases where false confessions were extracted from innocents by 3rd degree torture.5) To make liable the executive magistrate of the area in whose jurisdiction torture is perpetrated by police on innocents.6) To make it incumbent on all judicial magistrates ,to provide a torture free climate to all parties witnesses in cases before his court.7) To make public the amount & source of ransom money paid to forest brigand veerappan to secure the release of matinee idol mr raj kumar.8) To make public justice A. J. Sadashiva's report on "torture of tribals human rights violations by Karnataka police in M. M. HILLS ,KARNATAKA".9) To make it mandatory for police to use scientific tools of investigations like brain mapping polygraph etc without biasagainst suspects rich or poor.10) To include human rights education in preliminary & refresher training of police personnel.11) To recruit persons on merit to police force who have aptitude & knack for investigations.12) To insulate police from interference from politicians & superiors.13) To make police force answerable to a neutral apex body instead of political bosses. Such body must be empowered to deal with all service matters of police.14) The political bosses & the society must treat police in a humane manner and must know that they too have practical limitations. Then on a reciprocal basis police will also treat others humanely.15) The police must be relieved fully from the sentry duties of biggies & must be put on detective investigative works.
Encounter killing is again a hot topic nowadays but with a little difference. This time it is for the suspension of a sub inspector from Mumbai. Daya nayak who is better known as a Encounter specialist.
Encounters or extra judicial killings are not a new phenomena for Indian state though it has changed its position or acceptability in the public psyche for past few years. Thanks goes largely to the Mumbai film industry for making several films 'inspired' by the real life of an encounter specialist. After the box office success of such films one can say that the act of extra judicial killing which otherwise is a gross violation of the Justice system the very aspect of our Constitution( by denying the fundamental right to live) the civil liberties and the human rights now got legitimacy in the Indian society.
We are catered with the biographical sketch of this encounter specialist by different news channels about how from a humble beginning as a boy in a tea stall he becomes the heroic face of the state police department. According to an unconfirmed 'estimate' he has gunned down some 80-90 persons till date.
However the most strange thing about the whole saga is the fact that every one is bothering about his crime of earning the huge amount of wealth disproportionate to his known source of income but no one is giving a damn to his murderous record which is much more disturbing vis-a-vis to his known source of power to do so. Now it is not just a known fact but established fact also that what ever he did in his tenure ,he had actually killed people without having any right ,like many other famous or yet to famous 'Encounter Specialists' are doing. Now they keep on doing because they are doing the same under the full protection and patronage of the state. It is a chilling fact for any civilized society but as far as we are concern we simply habituated and grasped it.
Be it Ansal Plaza Shoot out in New Delhi. Or Killing of four person in the outskirts of Ahmedabd more or less after every encounter the story or the logic provided by the state to the people is too innocent to compared only with the Aesop's fables that there was a bad man who fired at the police and police in retaliation fired back to him and he died on the spot. Simple. Very simple. And for the sake of the rule of law please do not make complications by raising disturbing quarries as how not even a single police person hurt by the firing of the bad man? Why police did not tried to catch the person alive ? and so on…
However after 9-11 we the people are provided with some upgraded set of logic's. One can name it Gen X logic's. These are logic's with veiled threat. Now it is not just a mere fable but with a strong massage encrypted in it ,' either you are with us or you are part of enemy' and that is why if you try to raise all these disturbing question you could be branded as the enemy. Better you believe what the state says. Now coming again to the very police sub inspector. It is said that he has earned enormous amount of wealth by manipulating his duty of executing extra judicial killings in other words ,a long list of fake encounters by favoring one group of criminal against the other. His departmental bosses are very much concern about his alleged misuse of power. The Irony is being an encounter specialist itself is the product of gross indiscipline and utter misuse of the power provided by the state to the police department.
If it is proved that this encounter specialist really has earned this huge wealth by manipulating his ability of encounters by favoring ( read killing) individual of one particular gang of mafia against the other which is a truth yet to discover what charges are going to frame against this fellow?
Dealing with this particular case one should have to keep in the mind that this fellow has acquired this huge amount of sum by simply cold blooded murdering a number of people. Just like any other member of the organized crime he had taken 'supari'.
This case is a typical in the nature as corruption is just one part of it and the other part is made up of homicide. Part of the media is shrewdly downplaying the later half by overplaying the first half and that is the most dangerous aspect of this particular case.
Though there are number of punishments prescribed in IPC for killing a fellow human being starting to rigorous imprisonment for years to death penalty but our encounter specialist do not have to be worry about all that rather he knows it very well that he will face some petty charges of corruption to maximum.
A simple sub inspector can not become an encounter specialist over night if there is no political patronage behind him. As far as patronage is concern we have this news published in The Hindu on 23 Nov '03 which says that. The then Home Minister of Karnataka. M. Mallikarjun Kharge ruled out a probe into the encounter killing of two alleged women naxalites in a village near Karkala in Udupi district. In a press conference Mr. Kharge said. "We cannot disbelieve the version of police officials who witnessed the encounter. We have to believe somebody.''
And last but not least ,If a mere police sub inspector can doctor or manipulate this phenomena of 'Encounter'. It would be a chilling realization for anyone that magnitude wise how much scope of manipulation is there for the state to eliminate their political rivals through this 'simple' mechanism of extra judicial killings.
JUDICIAL PROPRIETY AND TEHELKA By: Rajeev Dhavan India needs a policy of embargoing post-retirement jobs for judges whilst increasing their retiring age. THE JUDICIARY is in the news in ways that do not do it credit. Beginning with the `defeated'
Justice V. Ramaswamy impeachment in the early 1990s the last decade portrays scandals. These include the Bombay Pay-off Scandal of 1990 the controversy over the Bombay High Court Chief Justice Bhattacharjee receiving large "foreign" royalties in 1995 controversies however founded or unfounded over Justices Punchi and Anand - both Chief Justices of India - and Justice Bharucha's declaration that 20 per cent of judges are corrupt. The year 2002 has been a bad year. In
An intermediate method has to be created so that judges are answerable and can be disciplined without compromising their independence. But it is not just a question of disciplining judges; but also of dealing with complaints against them in a swift and effective way. Such mechanisms exist for the lower judiciary but not for High Court and Supreme Court judges. From the supercession controversy of 1973 when three judges were superceded for the post of CJI there have been calls for a National Judicial Commission both to (a) make judicial appointments (which after the 1982. 1993 and 1998 judgments are - and that too not quite satisfactorily - in the hands of a conclave of Supreme Court judges) and (b) deal with complaints corruption and misconduct. But ongoing suggestions for a National Commission have fallen on fallow ground. Having wrested the patronage of appointment the judges have dragged their feet on issues of judicial discipline except to produce unenforceable codes of conduct. What are required are constitutional and statutory amendments. Recent history shows that where there is a will constitutional amendments are possible. But there is a lack of political and judicial will to introduce changes. Today judges collectively and in judicial orders make all kinds of suggestions on their pay salary perks and other things. But no consensus suggestion to interrogate judicial indiscipline emerges with credible clarity. Individually
's Chief Justices provide evasive and contradictory answers. In the midst of all this comes the controversy over the commendable resignation of Justice Venkataswami who was the sole Commissioner of the Tehelka Commission. Three issues arise. The first is: what went wrong? Something did. Sometimes judges do hold two post-retirement posts - without conflict or demur. But the Tehelka Commission was not just an inquiry but an inquisition in which the Government had a massive political stake. The proposal to give another assignment to Mr. Venkataswami whilst he investigated Tehelka and its discontents should never have been made. The next slip up was Chief Justice Bharucha's recommendation behind which the Government seeks refuge. No less the offer of appointment should have been declined. This is not a case of conspiracy corruption or misconduct. Mr. Venkataswami integrity is beyond dispute. The famous Pinochet case (1991) was re-heard because Lord Hoffman had broad links with a charity which though not before the 'Lords' had a stake in the cause. In the Curative Petition case (2002) the Indian Supreme Court drew sustenance from the `Pinochet' example on the premise that justice must not only be done but always appear to be done. This sets the tone. Mr. Venkataswami has led by example. Purity is as important as cleanliness. At least one present judge of the Supreme Court declined an above board invitation to a seminar from an American university on the basis that it was unacceptable that anyone other than the Government of
should pay for such trips. This sets a standard. The second issue that arises out of Tehelka is whether Mr. Venkataswami can simply be replaced by another judge. There is a stateable case that he cannot. Section 8A of the Commission of Inquiry Act. 1952 was amended in 1971 to permit a Commission to continue if a vacancy arose in a multi-member Commission. The assumption of continuity would survive because a member or members would continue. But section 8A is inapplicable for a single-member Commission or where an entire Commission ceases to exist. It becomes non-existent (non est) and ceases to function (functus officio). Continuity is broken. Replacing Commissions afresh contrives its own politics. There is an even chance that any replacement appointment would be challenged to the discomfiture of any new appointee. This does not mean that the records of the Commission are not available for public use. So far the only real public interest part of the Commission's work was over the military deals - which was heard in camera. These can be examined by a Joint Parliamentary Committee as raw evidence to interrogate lapses. The other aspect of the Commission's inquiry investigates Tehelka's journalistic conduct and wild unfounded allegations that Tehelka tried to destabilise the stock exchange and personally benefit Tehelka's people and financiers. A lot of this is humbug. The `journalistic' ethics issue does not need a Commission's wisdom but along with the accountability of the electronic media should be generally examined by public discourse. There are enough legal provisions to deal with `destabilising' frauds; but the Government knows that they do not have a credible leg to stand on. On this basis the Tehelka Commission needs to be wound up; but the `defence deals' examined by Parliament. The third issue relates to the desirability of post-retirement appointments for judges. There is a dilemma here. Although Inquiry Commission reports generally gather dust there is a public faith that only judges should head such inquiries - indeed that is what made the T. T. Krishnamachari and Kairon inquiries of the 1950s credible. The answer lies in less inquiries and carefully chosen incumbents. Today an inquiry is a general panacea to avoid any public allegation. The Commission process has been devalued. Several statutes - such as the Human Rights and others - necessitate judicial appointments. Such jobs cannot be multiplied as inducements.
it is a shame that recently four members of parliament were caught red handed on charges of human trafficking that too misusing their official passports. We have seen in the past various crimes by M. Ps - questions for money kickbacks etc this present sorry state of affairs is due to the caste consciousness of the electorate. The public instead of seeing the honesty integrity of electoral candidates looks just at his caste in this trend they elect persons who belongs to their caste even though he is dishonest untrustworthy & a criminal. Now the number of criminals density of criminals ( who are masterminds in evading conviction ) is more in elected houses of people's representatives – parliament state assemblies panchayaths corporations etc than in the jails outside public society. HRW is ready to prove this subject to conditions in larger public interest. Our people's representatives must learn classroom discipline punctuality of attendance home work from little kids of primary school.
We have won the independence by the hard way by the innumerable sacrifices made by great martyrs like mahatma Gandhi. Nehru bhagath singh etc. The criminals who have occupied constitutional positions don't have any right to squander that hard won independence of Indians. The disgrace contempt to august house of people's representatives is brought upon itself by the corrupt people's representatives themselves.
We at HRW have highest regards for the institution of parliament this is an appeal to the honest few in the parliament to bring to book their corrupt colleagues & to uphold the dignity of the house
? we have seen media reports of MPs & MLAs cabinet ministers who are wanted by police in serious crimes but absconders not available to arrest as per police records but they are very much present in the government & running the show ? what a mockery of law ? recently we have seen reports where certain MPs extracted money to raise questions in parliament to sanction money under MPLAD scheme we have seen media reports about union communications minister mr pramod mahajan receiving reliance company shares to the tune of crores in return for favourable ruling to that company. In various ways people's representatives misuse their office for personal gains.
from peon's job to gazetted officer's rank police inquiry / confidential reporting about the candidate's antecedents is mandatory. In case of sensitive departments like space atomic energy defence etc apart from police enquiry concurrent investigation is conducted by Intelligence Bureau before appointing a candidate to any rank in government service whether as peon or as officer. Whereas in the case of the people's representatives who get elected as MPs. MLAs. MLCs etc no investigation is conducted about their antecedents the affidavits they file before ECI at the time of nomination ( eventhough full of lies ) is taken at it's face value. The ECI doesn't bother to sincerely cross-check those affidavits in 2004 general elections our publication requested for deatails about antecedents of 4 VVIP candidates the ECI replied that they don't have information about them. In this way. ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA is favouring the criminals to get elected as MPs. MLAs and eventually to become cabinet ministers. When a criminal becomes a law maker the first thing he does is to cover-up his own crimes & that of his cronies. In the second step he permits officials to indulge in criminal deeds for a cut in the deal. He formulates laws which are favourable to his rich cronies based on those inherently flawed criminal intentioned biased laws the courts of justice judges over cases before it. Can a common man hope for justice what a shame ?
The same criminals who are in constitutional offices become privy to very sensitive informations with respect to national security economy etc it is the same criminals who decide over the national policy matters relating to defence economy national security etc don't that criminals sell our national security to our enemies for a price ? are we truly safe under such leaders ?
bottom line : still there are are honest persons in politics in parliament & in state legislatures striving for public welfare & upholding the law. Our publication pays our whole hearted respects to those honest few. However criminalization of politics is an acknowledged fact by vohra committee report acknowledged by cabinet ministers themselves & this is an appeal to the honest few MPs. MLAs to book their corrupt colleagues.
As per a recent study by UN organization majority of Indians ie more than 50 crore Indians are barely sustaining on Rs.13 per day earnings a whole family depends upon Rs.13 they are struggling to get just single meal per day. People are starving to death farmers are committing suicides people are selling their own children for a bag of grains. Whereas corporate biggies public servants are leading luxurious lifestyles having big parties full of drinks non-veg foods not at their papaa's expense but at the expense of public exchequer out of the tax dues loan repayments cheated to the public exchequer.
The banks insist on matching collateral security even for self employment / educational loans by poor for an amount of Rs.5000 if the loans are not paid in time rowdies / recovery agents are sent by banks to collect the amount by muscle power. As a final step banks auction-off properties of collateral security to recover it's dues. Even the tax authorities mercilessly extract tax dues to the last penny from the middle class.
The same banks overestimate the project cost of corporates overestimate the project feasibility & it's worth and coolly extend hundreds of crores of rupees loans without matching collateral security. The banks extend overdraft facilities without matching collateral securities to these corporates. When loans are not repaid no rowdies are sent by banks. The promoters directors of such tainted corporates drain – off the companies resources cunningly through insider trading finally making the company sick. Such companies don't pay taxes electricity bills water bills etc properly to respective authorities. The authorities are deaf dumb & blind to all these actions of such corporates. At the end banks write-off such loans as non performing assets (NPA) & file case before courts for recovery of dues. Even if the properties of collateral security are auctioned-off dues cann't be fully realized. Finally public money is swindled. ALL THIS IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE CONNIVANCE OF KEY BANK OFFICIALS. TAX OFFICIALS WITH CRIMINAL CORPORATES SINCE THE INCEPTION OF SUCH COMPANIES. THIS ALSO POSES UNFAIR COMPETITION TO HONEST CORPORATES. How to stop this ? by making corporate accountability ,accountability of bank tax officials more stringent with penal provisions afterall they are playing with public money not their papa's property.
Already by the connivance of public servants bank tax officials we have witnessed many scams like harshad Mehta ketan parekh hawala etc and more than Rs. 2000000 crore NPAs are on the books of the banks. Now the government of
is planning to waive-off tax arrears of corporates to the tune of Rs.85000 crore why ? read vijaya Karnataka kannada daily dated 04th January 2007 just look at this in the backdrop of "QUESTIONS FOR MONEY BY SOME MPs" and "MP LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT FUND ALLOCATION FOR A PRICE SCANDAL". The government is always unresponsive careless towards the sufferings of poor however it is always on toes to help out corporates that too criminal ones but not honest corporates. Why ?
2 to constitute committees consisting of public persons with powers to scrutinize & verify all the actions of corporates for insider trading like – selling products materials shares to their sister concerns at discounted prices or buying products materials shares from their sister concerns at inflated prices or lending loans at discount rates to their sister concerns or taking loans from their sister concerns at high rate of interest or loaning materials machines to their sister concerns etc.
3 to constitute committees consisting of public persons to scrutinize & verify the annual personal tax returns filed by key bank officials & tax officials who have amassed riches & leading luxurious life styles much beyond the scope of their legal known sources of income.
5 to put behind bar the key bank officials who have helped the corporates in swindling public money by overestimating project viability worth and by overlooking the insider trading of promoters and still extending loans to them.
The indian soldiers are sacrificing their comforts lives for guarding the lives of us –crores of indians. However now it seems the threat to the lives of brave indian soldiers are not from the
VVIPs strikes deals with arms dealers & awards them defense contracts. As a result indian forces are flush with technologically obsolete aeroplanes war ships artillery etc bought by paying crores of dollars. If any defense personnel questions these actions he is court-martialled & put behind bars. If any ordinary citizens questions them he is silenced through the brute force of police. Even election commission of
On the public side the same VVIPs condemn terrorism & other foreign countries. They deploy indian soldiers on the borders terrorist infected areas to contain the mafia they send our soldiers with 3rd class arms & ammunition riding 3rd class aeroplanes ships & artillery to contain violence as a result our soldiers get killed like flees like sitting ducks to be shot at by enemies who are armed with latest weapons. As a result more number of soldiers are dying in plane crashes terrorist bullets than to pakistani or chinese bullets.
for a common man judiciary is the last saviour. When thatsaviour himself becomes a demon to whom he should turn the said case pointtowards cases involving rich & mighty whether it is a criminal case ,civil or tax cases etc when rich & mighty are involved they purchaseboth defence & prosecution side involving witnesses governmentofficials testifying. Those who don'tfall into their lines are threatened ,assaulted & even murdered. As awhole the judicial process is derailed. The honest judge who is presiding overthe case remains as a mute spectator & forced to acquit the criminal forfailure of prosecution for lack of evidences. In some cases the judgesthemselves are also corrupt which makes the job much easier for the rich& mighty criminals to go scot-free.

people are not getting justice their grievances are not getting redressed. However nowadays we are seeing reports of corruption malpractices of judges in the media. In this backdrop our publication appealed to the ultimate saviour of law custodian of constitutional rights the honourable SUPREME COURT OF INDIA bringing before it various cases of injustices human rights / fundamental rights violations concerning public involving public interest threat to life of editor & his family members etc there was no reply no action till date.

Such/ similar acts/ behaviours by whom-so-ever including Judges is since 1971 is covered as an act of Criminal Contempt of Court [ ]. Not a single Judge is either Impeached or hauled-up for Contempt till 1991. Peoples' Inner Hope Courts to maintain their Majesty & Dignity will prosecute 1000 Judges in context who have tarnished & undermined the Fair image of Judiciary. Let Judges relish Jail for months if not years ; to asses personally the convinences-N-comforts provided even to innocent citizens or persons who were not having Rs. 100 to give as Bail. Then they will be in better position to Transform Jails into Reformation Centres. Jailing corrupt Judges by Judges we hope will instill confidence of people in Courts & law. Who-is-who of
In Re. Judges' Mysore Sex Scandal( a)" Will the Supreme Court Publicise Report of " 3 Judges Committee " ( all & sundry material); morefully to know whether any evidence adduced by many in support of Scam is informed to CJI & Supreme Court ?(b) What is the Guarantee that despite prima facie evidence Judges of Supreme Court which consists of Few corrupt Judges seved in Karnataka are not inclined to take stern action ?(c) Investigation of a Crime comitted by Minister or anyone lies within Executive Domain like the case Justice K. Veeraswami in this case CBI. Is it not a case of hushing-up & messing-up of " 3 Pillars of Constitution " ?.(d) How long will you try keeping suppressed Crimes of Judges of Supreme Court & High Courts when Union
on 28th Nov.1987 said " Supreme Court is filled with FERA violators & Bride Burners…" ( AIR 1988 SC 1208 ). When Chief Justice Of India Justice E. S. Venkataramaiaha admits that "in every High Court there are 3-4 Judges who are out every evening to Party in Foreign Embassiies or at Advocates' places…drink…dine…" (1990 Cr LJ 2179 ) [].(e) 20% of Judges are corrupt indirectly said Chief Justice of India Mr. Justice S. P. Bharucha in other words admitted that 80% of Judges of India are not corrupt & are above board to be bribed or influnced ? Then why cases are not filed against 20% of Judges ?
to decide whether to vote for good or bad person in elections. But this 50 years belated Judgment came as Bolt from Blue to politicians. In this perod Aliens. Anti-nationals. Criminals & all sundries had a field Day.
But then What about Criminal / Corrupt / Judgment-for-Sex Judges ?: The Supreme Court was unanimous in the Judgment of corrupt politicians. Parliament is not unanimous to Bridle Judges or judiciary. Nor is the Supreme Court ready to find ways & means to Tame / Terminate / Jail the Corrupt / criminal / Judgment-for-Sex Judges. Such inactions of Supreme Court or High Court is nothing short of giving leverage to such of them. It looks as though Supreme Court on its own is eroding faith of Public in Judiciary as a whole. Like Termites these Judges are Constitutional-Enemies-Within-India who are bent upon to disseminate corruption among other Good Judges.
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF SOME CORRUPT INDIAN JUDGES ???In the past there were media reports about judges selling judicial orders like bail acquittal warrant etc for a price. We have read about judges lifting furnitures from govt bungalow judges attempting to rape a victim for giving favourable judgement judge involved in murder attempt judge cleaning his official chamber with ganga water as it was previously occupied by a judge belonging to backward caste judge misusing medical reimbursement allowance judge filing fase affidavit newly appointed women judges paying back for the favours received in an immoral manner to the selectors ie high court judges etc. Indian judiciary is no better than outside civil society it is just a reflection of it. It is rotten & corrupt. When ever a voice is raised against the corrupt judges that is silenced by contempt proceedings. Right from munsiff Judges quasi-judicial officers like magistrates to the apex court corruption is wide spread. Some of them are utterly wealthy & leading luxurious lifestyles much beyond the scope of their legal income. HRW has brought to the notice of apex court numerous cases of crimes by rich & mighty no reply from apex court. HRW editor himself has suffered numerous fundamental & human rights violations perpetrated byrich & mighty to silence him. HRW has appealed about that too to the apex court no reply. HRW editor was not permitted to appear before JAIN COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY & the court probing late P. M. Rajiv Gandhi assassination case as an amicus curie. As a result of raising his voice against injustices. HRW editor was beaten up & attempts to murder him were made his newspaper publications were
