Indian judiciary is not a democratic-minded institution

-
India's judiciary is NOT a thinking institution, and it does not share our democratic temperament. The only way it allows a reformist citizen to approach it is as a litigant, through a Public Interest Litigation... but there, it sits in judgment on its own cause. Needless to say, it fails to see the need to change its self-indulgent ways.
Judiciary does not have any forum where citizens, judges, lawyers and others can sit down together and discuss as EQUAL STAKEHOLDERS. Such a forum is not possible, because of its superiority complex and self-righteousness. This institution is therefore incapable of introspection, reflection and self-correction.
This ancient fossilized institution is a repository of all the monarchical bad-habits that were discarded by the British in the last century. It has no temperament of liberalism or reformism.
It is not open to correction from government or citizens... and that is the reason We The People will have to dismantle the entire judiciary and rebuild it from scratch. Of course, it will not go quietly to its grave; it will go kicking and screaming till the very end.

On December 12 2013, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, “If friends in Mumbai are to be believed, it seems the only people who don’t know who was driving the fancy Aston Martin (worth Rs 4.5 crore) are the Mumbai police.” He was hinting at Akash Ambani, son of Mukesh Ambani) Probably that’s when the limelight hit the spot. During the wee hours of Sunday, December 8 2013, a black Ashton Martin Rapide (registration # MH 01 BK 99) belonging to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Por ts, crashed into an Audi and a Hyundai Elantra, at Pedder Road, Mumbai.

Short story: The faithful wife

-
[Friendship, love and trust have many meanings. This is an erotic story about all those beautiful emotions.] He lay awake in bed, waiting for her to finish her kitchen winding-up chores and join him. By the time she came in and began undressing for bed, he was very nearly asleep. With drowsy eyes, he gazed at her taking off her saree. She had grown a bit plump of late, but it only made him love her more. "There is more of you to hug now than when I married you," he sighed, wrapping his arms and legs around her in the dim light of the bedlamp. "This is sheer luxury!" She reciprocated by kissing him, and then turned around, determined to fall asleep quickly. Tomorrow was another tough day ahead, and she would have to cook a full formal lunch, keeping in mind his guest. Not just the daal-chaval that she made on days when she was feeling tired. "Turn off the lights, please," she said sleepily. "Not yet," he breathed in her ear. "Let me

India's "Anaadi" Courts -- where all your fundamental rights disappear

Here's something the media never reports: "Anaadi courts" are the instrumentality by which the State deprives tens of thousands of Indian citizens of their Fundamental Right to Life & Liberty. Without due process. For trivial offences like crossing the railway tracks, ticketless travelling and "loitering suspiciously" (combined with inability to furnish bail-bond or engage a lawyer), people are arrested and held in judicial custody for days, weeks or even months in judicial custody, without even being chargesheeted. This is happening daily, without interruption. Hello... Are the Chief Justices listening? Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share
