Puppet masters behind judicial appointments in India

Image
Peep through the wall of secrecy behind which appointments and elevations happen in higher judiciary. Politics, lies, sex and money-trails lurk within. The public got a hint in a viral video showing a senior lady lawyer giving sexual favours to Adv. Manu Singhvi, in hopes of being recommended for judgeship. The matter was hushed up with money. Media did not raise the issue again. Big Ticket lawyers like Manu Singhvi, Kapil Sibal and Arun Jaitley are middlemen or puppet masters who make judicial appointments happen. They are king-makers or "judge-makers". Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share

Install CCTV cameras and audio recorders in Indian courts

Image
To curb courtroom corruption, install CCTV cameras for video & audio recording all courtroom proceedings. Immediately broadcast and upload the proceedings on internet for public viewing -- just like Rajya Sabha TV etc. Justice Recorded proceedings would curb judges arbitrary behaviours, and help to nail petitioners and lawyers who lie and mislead the court. It would provide valuable material for a judicial oversight committee to analyze, such as the presence of touts and middlemen. This is quite cheap and should be implemented immediately.
