"Our Judiciary is being unjust to our Citizens" said Justice Deepak Verma, SC
Recently The Bharati Vidyapeeth deemed university’s New Law College (BVUNLC), Pune, inaugurated ‘E-Court’. As part of the function, a legal discourse on ‘Future of Indian Democracy’ was presented by Justice Deepak Verma (judge, Supreme Court of India). He was the chief guest at the event organised in the NLC auditorium on BVU’s Erandawane campus.Speaking about Indian democracy, and being disheartened with democracy being eroded even in judiciary, Justice Verma said, “The piling up of cases in various courts across the country is a classic example of injustice being meted out to the citizens by the judiciary.”
Showing his satisfaction with the professional five-year degree course in law, Justice Verma expressed that though the law profession is overcrowded, there is room at the top through hard work and intelligence.He emphasised that an advocate’s skill is gauged only when he argues a matter in the court. He stressed on law professionals to be proficient in English language as it is a global language.
Madhu Koda's beating alone an attack on democratic set-up ?!!!
As per ND TV report, the former Chief Minister of Jarkhand Mr. Madhu Koda was today beaten up in Jail, as per the prison officer. As per Mr. Madhu Koda he went to check the quality of the foods provided in jail, so he was attacked by the Jail Staff. JMM along with his wife has asked for a high level inquiry in respect of this alleged incident of a so-called conspiracy against this imprisoned leader, with an allegation against the jail authorities that " KODA is not an ordinary person, but a former chief minister of a state,and the assualt on him is tantamount to an attack on democratic set-up". We are not concerned with pros and cons of this sub-judice matter of inquiry.But the crucial question of this discussion is that it does not usually said to be an attack on democracy, when a simple, poor and unknown person is so attacked in a jail everyday, but it is always much cried to be against the democratic set-up, when an attack is made on such a so-called leader, even though imprisoned on the charges of corruption. This is in fact unfortunate set-up of our present democracy in our country...I think the people of this nation is required to look at this uneven aspect too.
A New Legal Controversy happened on a Political Promise to build Ram Temple in Ayoddhya, if BJP succeeds in UP
" If BJP obtains a clear majority in the coming election of UP, they will enact a new law to build Ram Mandir in Ayoddhya, if necessary" Recently BJP Leader Mr. Kalraj Mishra has raised a new controversy by making a political promise to the people of UP, going to vote in the coming days. The Constitution of India is lays the very foundation of secularism and BJP leaders are at present on chariots to fight against corruption and all kinds of malpractice, but their UP leaders has a different voice, which aims to give an controversial election gratification to Hindu vote bank. Will this be legal in the eyes of laws and the people of a secular nation ?
Singur Law Act validated... Tata Motors' Plea rejected
The Division bench of Justice KJ Sengupta and justice Joymalya Bagchi permitted company’s counsel Samaraditya Pal to file an appeal against the court's decision on the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Act that scrapped the land lease given to Tata Motors by the Left Front regime for its small car plant.Justice IP Mukerji Sep 28 rejected the company’s plea challenging the legislation and declared the Singur land law enacted by the Mamata Banerjee-led government as constitutional and valid.The verdict also validated the actions taken by the government under the Singur land law, though the company was held entitled to compensation to be ascertained by district judge, Hooghly. The automobile major had to shift its Nano small car plant to Gujarat from Hooghly district’s Singur in 2008, owing to protests by farmers led by the Trinamool Congress that sought the return of 400 acres taken from farmers, who were reportedly unwilling to part with their lands. Recently The Calcutta high court on Monday permitted Tata Motors to appeal against its verdict validating the Singur land law but the petition could not be filed as advocates suspended work to condole a colleague's death. The petition is likely to be filed on Tuesday.

The Division Bench of Gujarat High Court secures the dignity of the lower Judiciary
Quoting the Supreme Court's various directions, the Division Bench of Hon. Acting Chief Justice A L Dave and Hon. Justice J B Pardiwala of Gujarat High Court, recently advised the lower judiciary in a recent landmark order securing the dignity of our Judiciary that the judgment should be passed on merit of the case but "preferably without offering any undesirable comments, disparaging remarks or indications which would impinge upon the dignity and respect of judicial system, actus curiae neminem gravabit." The Latin term translated to English stands for "an act of the court shall prejudice no one".
The principal civil judge Ramrakhyani had refused bail to two bootleggers earlier this year. Her order was challenged before the sessions court, where the superior judicial officer held her decision wrong and passed strictures against her. The sessions judge wrote in his order that Ramrakhyani had abdicated her duty and had not applied mind at all. Her order was dubbed as "cryptic and unreasonable" and deprecated. Moreover, she was accused of lacking "judicial courage". Therefore the principal civil judge and judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) of Wadhwan, Mr. N M Ramrakhyani requested Gujarat High Court in a special writ to expunge the remarks from the Surendranagar sessions court's order and wanted the judge to be fined for making her enter into the litigation. And The Gujarat high court has expunged adverse remarks against this petitioner judge who had moved the court complaining against a superior judicial officer's unwarranted observations about her in an impugned order.
