CJI “R M Lodha on Saturday said independence of judiciary
is non-negotiable and whatever be the system for appointment of judges, the
judiciary is strong enough to rebuff any kind of interference in its
functioning." - TOI
With all due respect to CJI, I would like to add,
individual's freedom is also non-negotiable. Courts can't sit on cases forever;
trials should finish quickly and verdict should come fast. We can't have a
system where under trials spend more time in jail than maximum punishment for the
crime they allegedly committed. If any side is dodging the cases (no matter
whether it is prosecutor, state or defendant) it is court's duty to take a
strong view and put an end to those practices.
Why international agreement involving Indian companies
are coming under Singapore or London courts and not under Indian courts? Is
there are trust deficit?
Stakeholders of Indian Judicial system needs to
introspect.
