Court No 1 of the Supreme Court witnessed an extraordinary exchange as Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud berated a lawyer for asking for changes in an order.

Very Important Section to understand: The Supreme Court of India holds significant power to transfer criminal cases as outlined in Article 139A of the Constitution and Section 406 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. These provisions allow the Supreme Court to withdraw cases pending before High Courts and ensure the resolution of substantial questions of general importance directly by the Supreme Court. The procedural framework for such transfers is detailed in the Supreme Court Rules 2013, specifically Order XLI. #SupremeCourt #CriminalCases #LegalFramework #dranthonyraju #topcriminaladvocate

In a landmark judgment (Digambar & Another vs. The State of Maharashtra & Another), the Supreme Court emphasized that “The inclusion of Section 498-A was intended to curb genuine cruelty, not to be weaponised as a tool of personal vendetta.” The verdict reinforced the importance of prima facie evidence, urging courts to exercise caution in cases with vague or retaliatory allegations. This decision sets a precedent for safeguarding fairness in matrimonial disputes and preventing the misuse of criminal laws. #SupremeCourt #Section498A #CriminalLaw #MatrimonialDisputes #LegalJustice #FairnessInLaw #LegalProfession #FamilyLaw #MisuseOfLaws #JudicialScrutiny #LegalPrecedent #IndianLaw #JusticeForAll #FIR #LegalInsights https://lnkd.in/g9jzj2GF  

The Court's verdict is a timely reminder that the law is the ultimate authority, and any actions that deviate from it jeopardize the foundation of justice and fairness. It is crucial for institutions like the ED to follow due process and refrain from being influenced by political undercurrents. Any move beyond the legal framework not only raises concerns about the agency's impartiality but also erodes public trust. As the legal landscape evolves, let us hope this ruling serves as a guiding light for maintaining accountability and ensuring that justice is truly served, without political influence. #BombayHighCourt #EnforcementDirectorate #RuleOfLaw #Justice #LegalIntegrity #Accountability #PoliticalNeutrality #LawAndOrder #Impartiality #LegalFramework

It is true that strictures should not be directed against judicial officers, but what about strictures passed against petitioners? Often, judges make observations against petitioners that may not be factually accurate. A friend of mine filed an FIR against certain high-ranking officials accused of corruption in a criminal case. However, a High Court judge converted the criminal matter into a civil case, effectively allowing the accused officials to escape criminal liability. Furthermore, the judge issued strictures against my friend. As a direct consequence of these adverse remarks, my friend was dismissed from employment and has since lost faith in the Indian judiciary. #JudicialAccountability #LegalInjustice #IndianJudiciary #JudicialStrictures #CorruptionInIndia #LegalReform #AccessToJustice

Excellent. No need for the Sharia-fication of Bharat's laws. I am also against flat rate ex-gratia payments for accidents, but then our system of life and accident insurance are non-existent. Ideally, I would like to see judicial tribunal led payments from the offending party for the victims - but the issue often is apportioning of blame is cases like railway, industrial or other accidents. We need legal clarity and clear demarcation of where the buck stops (owners, organizations, inspectors, etc.). Civil court cases are a possibility but given the enormous backlog there is little hope from the judiciary who refuse to be held accountable to the people (cf. the striking down of the NJAC introduce to give judicial accountability some footing). Not just NJAC, I'd like to see judges from the District Courts and upwards being *elected* by the people who they are bound to serve and who fill in their paychecks. The government should go ballistic on this with the Court system, they are running with zero accountability to anybody (the Constitution - open to interpretation as it is - is not a free agent to take any action).

Broadly, there are two major amendments introduced and incorporated by the present collegium headed by the Hon'ble CJI Sanjeev Khanna and 4 Senior most Judges of the Supreme Court in selection and promotion of the Judges in the High Court of States & the Supreme Court of India. a) Recommended Judges for elevation to Higher Courts will be interviewed by the collegium to understand the thought process and moral principles along with profound knowledge and valuable experience in diverse matters and adjudication of the disputes. As there were some grievances wherein the Judges of the High Courts had passed certain personal remarks which are objectionable as it is against the dignity and honour of the Judiciary. b) If someone in the family or blood relation was a Judge in the High Courts and Supreme Court then their generation will not become Judge of the High Courts and the Supreme Court. As there was a criticism about prevailing of nepotism that the son of the Judge becomes next Judge. There was an averment that the qualified son of the Judge should become Judge. However, it is observed that the son of the Judge can do service of the Nation in any other way or capacity. Therefore, I also appreciate and welcome this change of eligibility criteria. Hence, the aforesaid modifications in the selection procedure have resolved both issues and concerns.
