National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2014 has been passed by both the houses of the parliament. This bill is a serious threat to our country, recently we have seen the Gopal Subramaniam case where govt marked its protest for his appointment appointment as SC judge because he represented cases against Modi & Co ultimately he withdrew his name from the post. Contrary to that govt. recommended U.Lalit for elevation as SC judge, U.Lalit represented cases of Modi & Co. and he is the favourite of govt. The bill was under pipeline since UPA was in power now BJP lead NDA govt has cleared it from both the houses.
Govt (whether its BJP, Congress or any party of Tom, Dick harry) wants to make the Constitutional courts a caged parrot like CBI which will approve every evil act of govt. Its high time mark your protest against the bill and make people aware of the evil design of govt. Today we have seen the governments dancing to the tune of corporates and approving each and every act of corporates. Above all the politicians need to tame the judiciary, because due to the the electoral reform brought by it will spoil the career and ill aspiration of many corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. To protect the interests of common man we need an independent and strong judiciary. The corruption in judiciary is not so lethal as this steps of government which will make the judiciary a puppet just like our Hon'ble President who has no option but to speak the govt.
The Act and the constitutional amendment attacks the independence of judiciary and the basic structure theory laid down in landmark case Keshavnand bharti...I am very happy to hear the news that legendary Sr. Advocate Fali Nariman has announced that he is going to challenge the Act and the constitutional amendment in Supreme Court and I am highly optimistic that the Act & the constitutional amendment will be struck down by the Supreme Court and will be declared null & void. We are going to witness a landmark case after Keshavnand.
