The allegation that Justice B S Indrakala, judge of Karnataka High Court gave a bribe of Rs. 8.5 crore for securing the post of Governor is nothing but the tip of the iceberg

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

The allegation that Justice B S Indrakala, judge of Karnataka High Court gave a bribe of Rs. 8.5 crore for securing the post of Governor is nothing but the tip of the iceberg. Corruption in judiciary is a reality. It is rampant, maybe even of a greater scale than in other departments of the government. I happen to be back in Kerala High Court after a gap of almost 20 years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To my utter shock even the Kerala High Court had changed. A number of allegations were brought to my notice. They wanted me to...

Mathews J Nedumpara President Campaign For Home For All. 28.5.2020 " Ravenous wolves in the clothing of a sheep " The miseries which the millions of migrant labourers had to face with the imposition of the lockdown, so too its easing no words can adequately describe. It would wrench the hearts of even the most hardened ones. But the question is: could the governments be entirely blamed for the same even while fully accepting that there has been great shortcomings even in Kerala which has managed the Covid pandemic exceedingly well? But the question is: are not these functions falling under the exclusive province of...

Who is responsible for demolition of Maradu homes – an injustice which has no parallel in history

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Keralites across the breadth and width of the globe, nay, millions of people, with bated breath, watched five apartment buildings in Maradu, a prime location of Cochin surrounded by lakes and lush green, crumble down with a mushroom of dust being formed, as if an atom bomb has been dropped. While a few sadists, insane minds, knowing not what the ramifications are, celebrated, clapping their hands and beating drums, millions all over the world were deeply pained by the demolition, which was nothing but madness. They could not believe their eyes and they pondered why such madness was allowed to...

Are not the civil courts the real ‘constitutional courts’?

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

Are not the civil courts the real 'constitutional courts'? 14.4.2020 Mathews J Nedumpara In the last two decades or so, we have often heard the elite lawyers in Delhi referring to the Supreme Court as constitutional courts which gives the impression to the common man that the Supreme court and High courts are the only courts empowered to interpret the constitution. The question is, in doing so, are they not committing a fraud on the constitution. I have, in my article titled, 'Ten myths of constitutional law', dealt with at some length of the falsehoods which have become gospel truths and to doubt...

Demolition of Maradu homes- fundamental questions further explained

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Mathews J. Nedumpara I addressed a letter dated 24th September, 2019 to the Chief Minister and Chief Secretary of Kerala and other high constitutional functionaries expressing my apprehension that Shri Harish Salve, one of the most celebrated lawyers of the country, who effectively defended the case of Shri Kulbhushan Jadhav in the International Court of Justice and thus became a household name and a great icon, may not be able to do justice to the Government of Kerala, his client, so too to the hapless flat buyers of Maradu who are to be rendered homeless because the contentions which he is...
