Article 141 does not sanctify Judicial Legislation (as a clarification to a query)

Article 141 does not sanctify Judicial Legislation (as a clarification to a query) Mathews J Nedumpara 22.06.2024. I Am not against the doctrine of "stare decisis et non quieta movere", nay, precedents,but only against it being reduced to a great menace,nay, absurdity. The difference between " res judicata" and "stare decisis" is forgotten. That is the real concern. What is done Today in the name of 'precedent' is to make past erroneous decisions which were binding only on the parties to the litigation, binding on all, even the posterity. The authoritativeness of a judgment based on the strength of the bench belongs to province...

Mathews J Nedumpara 26th November 23 The notification was issued in the larger interest of the nation, the Banks and Financial institutions, millions of small entrepreneurs and traders who make the economy of the country sail smoothly, so too millions of workers employed by the MSMEs. MSMEs contribute to the nation building in no mean way. They manufacture goods and provide for services, nay create...

An appeal to the Honourable Chief Justice of India and Companion Judges Mathews J Nedumpara 29.08.2023 98205 35428 The current system of judges appointing themselves mostly of their kith and kin, near and dear and of judges anointing mostly their kith and kin as Senior Advocates is a pernicious practice which has destroyed the institution of judiciary, nay, both a fraud on the Constitution.

PIL is antithetical to the Principles of natural justice Mathews J Nedumpara 98205 35428 26th July 2023 The Supreme Court has done great disservice to the nation by allowing Ashwani Upadhyay, Prashant Bhushan and their ilk to file so called PILs on issues which are not justiciable at all for publicity. The judges permitted the forum of the Supreme court to be abused because PILs allowed them to usurp matters falling in the exclusive province of the executive and legislature and rule the country, particularly on populist issues which make such abuse difficult to be criticized. I whole heartedly welcome people taking up the cases...

Abolish Senior Designation

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Abolish Senior Designation Mathews J Nedumpara President, NLC 28.02.2023 It is hearting to note that a large number of my esteemed brothers and sisters from the legal fraternity have joined this Group being determined to fight against the senior advocate designation system which was not in existence in this country until 1966. Unless and until this discriminatory and unjust system is not abolished, the legal system of our country has no future at all. In fact, what is at an even greater stake is the very institution of our Judiciary. Only a few people in our nation realize the great risk the country faces...
