A Call for Abolishing the Senior Designation in the Legal Profession

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Open Letters

Dear Ms. Indira Jaising, Sub: Abolition of senior designation- reg. When it comes to transparency and reforms in judiciary, there are certain areas where we are in agreement, though there are serious differences in many other areas. On the topic of abolition of senior designation I was under impression that we agreed and on the question of abolition of the collegium we are poles apart. While you support the system of entitlement, patronage, nepotism, dynasty, of which the collegium has become a synonym, I believe that until we abolish the collegium, the culture of entitlement and kinship will continue, our judiciary has...

Our Interpretation of Constitutional Law has Become a Classic Example of Human Stupidity

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Mathews J Nedumpara 98205 35428 Two things are infinite, said Einstein: the universe and human stupidity. Our interpretation of constitutional law has become a classic example of human stupidity. Let me explain. The common law is our law by virtue of Article 372 of the constitution. It is founded on two simple principles, ‘res judicata’ and ‘stare decisis’, namely, precedent. Res judicata means a decision in a case between A and B will bind and them, but not C and D who were not parties to it, in other words, it will not bind 'res inter alios', namely, third parties. The doctrine of...

Mathews J. Nedumpara 98205 35428 “Simple things can be done in simple ways; Hard things too can be done in simple ways; But it requires an inventive brain And can be done without much strain” 1. The above words of a poet, I believe, should be the guiding lamp when we think of judicial reforms. There are two streams of administration of justice, one, the civil law system followed in the European continent and the Latin America, and the other the common law system followed in UK, India, America and other common law countries. While in the civil law system the problem...
