It’s good that the judges of
highest court of the land decided to wash their dirty linen in public, it is
always welcomed. The elite section meanwhile is concerned about the perception this
creates on common people. Believe me they are talking about one of the tardiest
judicial systems in the world. They have been building castles based on
perceptions on misery of the common people meanwhile maintaining amazing
level of apathy. This is a framework you will see replicated in most democratic
institutions, wherein hapless people are left trapped in mediocrity driven
irresponsible ways. The energy and meaning is sapped out of common people’s
life meanwhile pushing them into persistent fatalism that finds succor in the
lap of Castetva forces –the depraved who severely degraded the society in the
last few decades, into the arms of “jeneu
dhari bhakts” while the Hindutva forces are readying to wrench the baton. I
have read some incisive suggestions for reforms from administrative to police to
judiciary that languishes in the dustbin of the corridors of power for more than half a century while the
scoundrels adroitly play secularism and other divisive tactics. These are worst
kind of humans, feudals adept in oppressive tactics.
One would have expected the
judges (and the lawyers) to come out and protest against the tardiness of the judicial
system, the lack of transparency and lackadaisical ways as also anachronistic
ego exaggerating cringe worthy feudal customs. If you recall, one of the
previous Chief Justice –undoubtedly a rare man with conscience, of SC even
broke down in public while mentioning these tardy ways, but characteristically
the manipulators questioned his mental fitness. Any civilized society would
have taken this as a clarion call and immediately set about to rectify the
system. That the four judges decided to whine before the media against
perceived belittling, the slight to their ego, is what defines this society.
They live in the carefully choreographed binary world of senior and junior, and
this is something castetva forces have been promoting as tradition over
competence or any other parameters of professionalism. Hierarchy and
segregation is their field of expertise, and that in last many decades these
have stultified institutions is none of their concern as long as traditions and
customs are followed diligently. Ofcourse this not only morphs their
own mediocrity but also put them in elevated position for big lick. Longer you warm
your arse in fixed position the more you become ‘senior’, much longer makes
them ‘legendary’. All other professional parameters seem subsidiary in this
conception. So we have ‘senior’ politicians, journalists, cricketers, artists
so on with rarely any discernible talent except manipulation and sycophancy. ‘Senior’
judges also emerge out of the same putrid pit, and showcase as beacons of 'well settled and time honoured conventions'.
Also to be noted is that despite
high level of tardiness these exaggerations also carry trappings of feudal opulence,
lavish spread is at offer. Not only that they seem immune to name changes
decided by elected members (so Madras HC!). They seem to be living a segregated
high life in the name of arbitrating justice! Why are they given so much
facility when there is no result on the ground? Not ten year old (that in
itself is unpardonable delay) but cases that are thirty and more are being argued
into eternity as they break for lunch and coffee, while many lawyers gain
credential on their talent to delay and postpone, all these dealt in cheerful camaraderie
and agreeable liberal ambience –a sign of success. There is no doubt that state
is spending a fortune on these irresponsible systems, therefore there is a need
to check efficiency and effectiveness, comprehensive audit must be conducted. Any
case that is delayed for more than a decade must be the responsibility of the
judge.
Meanwhile lawyers move swiftly
from senior to legendary. These greedy vermins gather in every suckholes and
gravy spots, and multiply. Why there is no capping on the earning of lawyers?
It must be tagged to the outcome and not sitting, they get paid ridiculously
huge amounts to just show their face! What kind of society is this to allow
these kinds of fleecing in the name of justice? At the lower end of scale many
of these lawyers are plain thugs. Also lawyers as politicians can be tolerated
but when they hold public positions there is clear case of conflict of
interest. Why are so many ministers from lawyers fraternity in the last many
decades? More than conflict of interest there seems to be a case that they are
misusing their privy to powerful into their advantage; it is as good as
blackmail. Now charter accountants are joining the list.
When Indians were under colonial
rules many youths in their youthful idealism, and eagerness for just society,
reacted and responded to colonial forces in their unique ways. Some sacrificed their
life, others their livelihood. We don’t read about them because they responded
to the situation and were not positioning themselves. Meanwhile, on the other
side of the spectrum the clever ones decided to become lawyers! It’s difficult
to fathom the mindset of people who decide to get into legal professional when
they were being ruled by colonial forces. What it means is that they were
studying (and even got into the legal professions) that was furthering
oppressive system. It’s amazing that it never occurred to them as to why are
they studying these? I guess, since they themselves were beneficiary of much
degraded and inhuman system of casteism, and also saw themselves as caretakers,
these critical thoughts never occurred. They quite effortlessly ensconced to
any kind of degradation searching for control, hence very soon were at the top
of the game. Mugging rules and quoting these with relish, the skill set that comes
natural when emerging from sanctum pit, it’s an addiction. With money and
opulence comes ego satisfying respect, and the severely oppressed people under
the duress of extreme poverty, casteist atrocities and colonial oppression had
no choice. Indeed only the blessed will be opulent. Unfortunately for the
depraved section the ego satisfying respect was allocated only from hapless
Indians. Colonial britishers were not at all keen to entertain these buffoons
masquerading as lawyers, indeed being racist they dealt with them ferociously.
One little Indian lawyer, in south Africa, even estimated himself with whites,
dressed up as such, coming out of casteist tradition hence racist mindset was a natural extension, so was very keen to be seen above ‘kaffirs’ (even disgracefully sending
correspondence to colonial masters!), but poor fellow was kicked out. Thus
began their struggle for freedom!! This nation is much indebted to likes of
Bhagat Singh and Azad, as also ideas articulated by Vivekananda. This lack of
idealistic view of society and compassion towards humans has had a detrimental
impact on the foundation of India as a nation, starting with misery of
partition, as castetva forces played havoc and ate into the egalitarian fabric of
the society eviscerating and replacing it with clever euphemisms and manipulations. The
effect of which we see sprouting all around.
There is also no doubt that the
judges actions are politically inspired. They couldn’t raise their voice
against overwhelming level of degradations and tardiness of the system all
these years and now on the verge of retirement and that too for egoistic reason.
It is not that they haven’t reacted before, the pettiness of which this blogger
has recorded in earlier blogs. One of them went public in a matter related to
holidays(?!) that was orchestrated to embolden the narration of ‘Christian
under attack’. Visit https://depalan.blogspot.in/2015/04/conspiracy-against-indian-state.html
So clearly the fellow is susceptible to political influence, considering the mutual
feeding ecosystem was active for last many decades makes the angst compelling.
There is desperation among those fattened all these decades and now bereft of
lick. Meanwhile Justice Gagoi is also an expert in dealing with cases of
contempt, and has reputation of dealing with these –essentially minor matter but
for mylords these can make or break carefully nurtured big egos (probably the
only reason for living, the wage slaves journalists assures ‘aan baan aur shaan par anch’), quite meticulously.

By going public with these petty
procedural matters, wherein serious matters related to judiciary is kept in the
background, these judges have seriously sullied the image of Indian judicial
system. Indeed it is an apt case for contempt, and yes Mr. Gogoi doesn’t
deserve to be the CJ of SC, he has compromised the integrity of the judiciary
by attempting to politicize when it suits his end. Action need to be taken. The
concept of seniority –which is way of life for castetva forces, must be
dropped. Everyone is equal in terms of position but differ in matter of
competence. It shouldn’t be based on age or time spent in any position. In
judiciary these are critical. Matters related to justice must be taken from the
most vulnerable position. For instance if people in congested areas are facing
air pollution then action must be taken and not wait for judges spotting their grandchildren
wearing masks therefore now they are aware of the gravity of the situation. It
is in the same context it needs to be pointed out that loudspeakers should be
banned (they can only be allowed to be used in closed auditoriums). Nobody has
any right to impose their sound on to others. In congested areas these noise
pollution create severe problems, particularly for elderly and children. Judges
living in sanitized opulence may take few more decades to understand these
situations. That is why competence matters not the sacred seniority. They can
warm their senior arse somewhere else.
