JUDICIAL TRANSPARENCY - THE COMMON MAN'S COVETED DREAM......

My Dear Friends,

 A  Writ was filed by a group of young  advocates - upcoming in their professional competence , in their bid to bring transparency in the judicial functioning - The Common Man's Coveted Dream

The review petition which was filed by National Lawyers’ Campaign for Judicial Transparency and Reforms was dismissed by a Bench of CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Madan B Lokur, Kurian Joseph, AM Khanwilkar and Ashok Bhushan.

“The petition is liable to be dismissed on the ground of delay alone, the Court held. Even otherwise, the review petition is devoid of merits”, the Court concluded.

Notwithstanding the above final verdict of the Hon'ble Apex Court,  One has to give a serious thought as to the impending urgency  for a  transparent judicial  functioning to ensure  justice to the common man  expeditiously. 

In fact, towards this objective alone,  Sri Anna Hazare - himself being an Ex- Army Soldier as also the legend crusader of socio-economic reforms,  has raised an issue to bring the  Judges of the Supreme Court  also within the ambit of "Jan Lokpal Bill" when it was tabled in the Parliament long ago. 

 In the above backdrop, I congratulated for the valiant efforts of the forum of the young and upcoming advocates  and assured them of my support for this noble cause .   

To substantiate the Impending urgency, I  cited the two contradicting judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court  pertaining to the issues concerning the lamenting lot of Bank Retirees, as a live example and sought their help and support.

I also made my comment in the news item. Please Click the following link for the details:
