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 98205 35428 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. Except for a few High Courts like that of Kerala where relief under the writ jurisdiction is granted without being confronted by questions as to the maintainability of the petition for the petitioner not having exhausted the “alternative remedies”, realise that reality is different from...

Can anyone imagine of a greater injustice than the refusal of the courts and tribunals to extend the benefits of the notification dated 29.5.2015 of the Central Government under Section 9 of the MSMED Act, to the MSMEs?

Mathews J Nedumpara 98205 35428 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 the assets and wealth of the nation. The Parliament enacted MSMED Act acknowledging this indisputable truth. The RBI was mandated to enforce the Act and the notification. However, the RBI neglected and failed in its duty as a...

Banking laws: Multiple laws which created multiple forums made litigation infinite. What is the solution

Mathews J. Nedumpara 9820535428 1. Faced with the mind-boggling burden of arrears which today is more than 3.4 crores in the case of the subordinate courts and more than 51.5 lakhs in the case of the High Courts and even 62,064 in the case of the Supreme Court, our legislature and the superior Courts invoking even legislative powers, which the founding fathers had never visualized, have created large number of tribunals in substitution of the Civil Court, even the High Court. However, far from reducing the backlogs, such laws and tribunals have contributed in inconceivable terms, towards adding to the existing backlog...

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

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...

Simple solution for reducing pendency of cases is to do away with “precedents” nay, repeal of Article 141 of the Constitution.

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...
