JUDICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
by damodaran mohan on Dec 15, 2007 11:47 AM

Indian judiciary is full of contradictions.On the one hand they complain about shortage of staff to clear the long backlog of case and on the other they find enough time and resources to step into the shoes of executive. The juduciary is considered unquestionable like caesars wife but in the same breadth retired chief justices write newspaper columns to justify relatives role in alleged land scam etc. The way of functioning of lower courts and corruption is something an accepted thing in the society. Try overhear conversations in public places and public transport system like DTC you will know how these lower courts are driven by rampant corruption. Taking up PIL in the interest of Justice is OK, but the courts should first do their job properly before worrying about streamlining executive functions.
