Section 498 (A) (anti-dowry law) under CrPC was one of the most abused laws, and he further said that Judges are simply issuing summons and even warrants without properly verifying who are the accused. I have come across such cases in which the accused, sitting in Australia and other countries, are made accused when the case is lodged for the alleged offence of dowry:Read more...
There are, no doubt, that CJI know about wide spread misuse of IPC Section 498 (A), his statement suggests that misuse is at much wider scale. But it is rather very serious that he did nothing to stop this misuse. This send wrong signals and encouraging the "Legal Terrorists". Indian Tax payers pay him to protect their consitutional rights and civil librities. The Chief Justice of India is responsible for the suffering, wrongful confinement, illegal detention and false criminal litigations imposed on every indian due to this misuse of law. This act of utter incompetence and encouragement of legal terrorism at the hands of head of indian judiciary should never be tolerated by the public, and he must be held accountable for it.
These headless chickens when take oath of office, they say:
I, [name], having been appointed Chief Justice (or a Judge) of the High Court at (or of) ... do swear (or affirm) that the Constitution of India as by law established, that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will duly and faithfully and to the best of my ability, knowledge and judgment perform the duties of my office without fear or favour, affection or ill-will and that I will uphold the Constitution and the laws.
The CJI has clearly failed to uphold the Constitution and the laws, for which he is appointend by the indian public. He should admit that he is not fit for the job and should resign from the top post without wasting any more money of indian TAX payers. A hard working nation like india need competent people for top jobs to build a healthy and prosperous nation not just for themselves but for their coming generations.

ReplyDeleteThe decision to declare assets is a big victory. Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan tells SHOMA CHAUDHURY what else is rotting in our judiciary
In public interest Prashant Bhushan has championed the fight for judicial accountability.
It’s great judges have agreed to declare assets. But will it really help? Politicians do it too.
This decision is very welcome, even if it’s only happened under public pressure. It is proof of the power of public opinion. And even though declaring assets is a relatively minor aspect of judicial accountability, it will help. If a judge misdeclares his assets, there’s a chance someone might know he has particular properties he hasn’t declared, and may point it out. One could then examine if these can be explained within their legal income.
