An Appeal to Members of the Bar and the Litigant Public on the 79th Independence Day

Mathews J. Nedumpara President National Lawyers Campaign for Judicial Transparency and Reforms 98205 35428 15th August 2025   An Appeal to Members of the Bar and the Litigant Public on the 79th Independence Day   (1) Our political executive and legislature are primarily responsible for the ills plaguing our justice delivery system today. It is not that they have acted wrongly, but rather that their persistent inaction has caused this decline. In a democracy, governance is the exclusive province of the legislature and the executive, yet they have allowed the courts to usurp their role.   (2) The future Parliaments—whom the Constituent Assembly once regarded with reverence as being truly...

Mathews J. Nedumpara 98205 35428 17.03.2025. The Kerala High Court took objection to our recording of the proceedings and sharing of the same.

Where a statute provides for an appeal against an interim order, is it open to a litigant to choose at his sweet will, a variation at the hands of the court of first instance or to opt for an appeal? Does the doctrine of res judicata have any application

(Excerts from an affidavit drafted by Sri. Nedumpara) 1. This Court by its order dated 21.12.2021 was pleased to protect me from dispossession, but subject to the condition that I pay an amount of Rs. 25 lakhs. Had this Court had the benefit of hearing my lawyer, I bonafide believe, that this Court would have protected me without conditions. I sought my counsel’s advice. He told me that I can seek correction of the order before this Court (single bench) itself, or prefer an appeal under Section 5 of the Kerala High Court Act, which provides for an appeal even against...

Mathews J Nedumpara 26.01.2024. 98205 35428 Judicial Reforms: Is the hope in Chief Justice Chandrachud waning? While some say that their hope in Justice DY Chandrachud, in bringing about judicial Reforms has been waning, I still remain hopeful. There are areas where I differ in opinion from Justice Chandrachud, but when compared to those areas where we are on the same page, the former pales. Many of my fellow lawyers, particularly those who hail from rural areas and who belong to SC/ST and have had their early education in the vernacular language, had expected sweeping changes during Justice Chandrachud’s tenure as Cheif Justice. 14...
