Collegium, a fraud on the Constitution.

Collegium, a fraud on the Constitution. Mathews J Nedumpara The judges of the SCI are appointed by the collegium of judges. The Collegium is unknown to our Constitution. The judges created it in 1993 by rewriting the Constitution. They had no authority to do so at all. It was a fraud played by a few powerful lawyers in Delhi on the Constitution. They did so to subserve their narrow, vested interests. Because an all powerful Supreme Court is extremely profitable for them. They could do so easily, taking advantage of the ignorance of the common man.They could effortlessly make the Parliament and...

No recovery against MSMEs without attempt at revival as provided by law. Mathews J Nedumpara Economists believe that in a decade or two India is going to be the world’s third largest economy. Our country, once starved for foreign exchange, now probably attracts more foreign exchange than any other country. The reason is the demographic advantage we have. Most of the developed world, Europe, Japan, China, are aging. We are the youngest country in the world in the sense that 60% of the population is within the ages of 20 to 60, the work force. However, many economists are not as optimistic as...

JUDICIAL IMMUNITY/TORTIOUS LIABILITY

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

JUDICIAL IMMUNITY/TORTIOUS LIABILITY Mathews J Nedumpara “Rex non potest peccare”, namely that the king can do no wrong, is a fundamental principle of law. Stated in simple terms, the king is not liable for any action of his agents and servants. This concept, over the centuries, was much diluted with many an exception being accepted. Today, except judicial function, the king, namely, the sovereign, is liable for the tortious action of his delegate/trustee/servant. The sovereign immunity is not absolutely available even against the armed forces. The concept of absolute immunity which the judges of the superior courts in India enjoy and assert can...

Why I fought for video recording of Court proceedings Mathews J Nedumpara What prompts me to pen these few lines is a query from one of the few law students who started interning with me recently.

I had no difficulty to answer the query because of the injustice which I personally had to undergo, for, the Judges enjoy absolute immunity in the discharge...

Would it be too odd to say ‘burn all law reports to save our justice delivery system’?

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Would it be too odd to say 'burn all law reports to save our justice delivery system'? Mathews J Nedumpara The common law, which we adopted by way of Article 372 of the constitution, is the very foundation of our legal system. Precedent, initially in the form of year books and later in the form of reported judgements is one of the major sources of common law, others being Roman law, statute and custom. The treaties of the laws of England by Chief Justice Coke in the 16th century, by Blackstone in the 17th century and by Halsbury in the 19th century...

The Founding Fathers, by incorporating Articles 226 and 32, reintroduced the dual system of administration of justice which was abolished in England in 1875, having proved to be counterproductive Mathews J Nedumpara Common people, often reassured by news reports where the High Courts under Article 226 and even the Supreme Court under Article 32 come to the rescue of common people who are denied justice by the government and its instrumentalities, are granted instant and hustle free justice institute writ petitions when they face similar injustice.
