458: THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA: ADMINISTERING IMPARTIAL JUSTICE?

458

THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA:

ADMINISTERING IMPARTIAL JUSTICE?

          The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), on 16 December 2015, raided the premises of a company of Mr. Karti Chithambaram, a son of former Union Minister Mr. P. Chithambaram.

          Mr. P. Chithambaram immediately expressed the hope that ‘the foolish government would stop harassing his son’.

          The UPA government alienated the public resources like the Provident Fund. Mr. P. Chithambaram  was a part of that government. Is it the reason for the raids?

          The ED has not mentioned the real motive behind the raids.

          It has no moral or constitutional right to undertake raids like this. The reasons were given earlier,

An action of this sort is insulting and provocative in the highest degree.

Just as Mr. P. Chithambaram did, so as his successors do.

Defense Minister Mr. Manohar Parikar, on 16 December 2015, said that India would fight the Islamic State (IS), provided the operations are carried out under the UN flag.

The stand taken by India, in this matter, is a well thought out one.

Five judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court of India comprising Justices J.S.Khehar, J. Chelameswar, Madan B. Lokur, Kurian Joseph and A.K. Goel, on 16 December 2015,  directed the government to prepare a new Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) on appointment of judges. Among other things, the Bench specifically asked the government to define transparency and to fix the eligibility criteria.

Apparently, the judges used their talents to find an escape route.

The question of transparency might lead to the enactment of laws for freedom of expression.

This would enable the judges to administer impartial justice according to the laws.

This must precede the MoP. Then only it will be a legally valid one.

This is letter No.458.
