Amravati: The idea that “Judge himself appointed the judges” was myth because of just one of the many players involved in the process of choosing a judicial officer, Chairman of India Judge N V Ramana said on Sunday.
He delivered the fifth endowment sri lavu venkateswarlu lecture on “Judiciary India – Future Challenge” in Siddhartha Law College, Vijayawada.
He said that lately, physical attacks on the judicial officers were increasing and sometimes, there were joint campaigns in print and social media against judges if the parties did not get favorable order while this attack seems to be sponsored and synchronized.
.
There is a need to free up the public prosecutor institutions.
Total independence must be given to them and make them only last for court, he continued.
“It is currently fashionable to repeat phrases such as’ Judges themselves appoint judges.
I assume this as one of the myths considered widely.
The fact is just one of the many players involved in the process,” Justice Ramana said.
“Many authorities are involved, including the Ministry of Law, the State Government, Governor, Pustama of the High Court, the intelligence agency, and finally, the top executive, all of which are appointed to examine the suitability of a candidate.
I am sad to note that good expirion also spread ideas Mentioned above.
However, this narrative is in accordance with certain parts, “said Justice Ramana.
Appreciate the center of its efforts to appoint more judges, he said some recommendations made by the High Court have not been transmitted to the Supreme Court by the Ministry of Law Union.
It is expected that the government needs to comply with the schedule set in the case of Malik Mazhar.
Law enforcement agencies, especially special institutions, need to handle malicious attacks on the judiciary effectively, said CJI added that it was very unfortunate that unless the court disturbed and gave orders, the authorities generally did not continue the investigation.
“The government is expected and bound to customs to create a safe environment so that judges and judicial officers can function without fear,” he said.
New media tools have enormous amplifying skills, but it seems unable to distinguish between right and wrong, which is good and bad and real and the false and false.
Media trials cannot be a guideline factor in deciding on the case, he continued.
He said historically, the prosecutor in the country was under the control of the government.
“Therefore it is not surprising that they do not act independently.
They do nothing to prevent reckless and unworthy cases to reach the court.
The public prosecutor automatically oppose the application of guarantees without independently applying the mind.
They try to suppress the evidence that can Useful accused, “said Justice Ramana.
Holistic reworking needs to be done.
To isolate the public prosecutor, the independent selection committee can be formed for their appointment.
Best practice must be adopted after other comparative analysis of jurisdiction, he scaly.
While making laws, lawmakers must also be thought of providing effective solutions for problems that might arise from law but these principles seem to be ignored, he said.
According to him, a popular majority is not a defense for arbitrarily taken by the government because every movement is ordered to comply with the constitution.
“If the justice does not have the power of a judicial review, the function of democracy in this country will not be thought of,” he said.
Said that the court did not have the power of a wallet or sword, he said the executive needed to help and operate for the rule of law to win in this country.
However, there seems to be a growing tendency to ignore, and do not even respect the court order by the executive.
Quoting the Bihar Bihar Law in 2016 which resulted in the High Court filled with many bail applications, Ramana justice said the lack of future view in legislatment could immediately result in the blockage of the court.
