Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Mathews J Nedumpara Some members of the legal fraternity have criticized me for authoring article titled 'Referring Questions of Law to Larger Benches is in Ignorance of the Doctrine of Stare Decisis' as it amounts to too sharp a criticism of the Supreme Court. When i was a young lawyer, for instance when the Judges 2 case was delivered, i felt the judgement to be a re-writing of the constitution. The Supreme Court snatching away the powers of the executive. I felt the Judges 2 case cannot even be called a judgement because there was no cause of action. There existed...

My experience in Justice Arun Mishra’s Courtroom in relation to the Maradu Demolition case

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Blogs/Articles

Maria Nedumpara My experience in Justice Arun Mishra’s Courtroom in relation to the Maradu Demolition case, though less personal, was just as appalling. A number of lawyers were before his lordship literally pleading for a chance to speak. 350 and odd families had been forcefully evicted in a period of 4 days, in the most inhumane manner. They were driven out of the homes in which they had been residing in for more than 9 or 10 years, the homes which they had purchased with a lifetime’s worth of savings. It would come as a shock to anyone reading this that...

'-Mathews J.Nedumpara The Supreme Court in Keshavanada Bharati held that the “basic structure” of the constitution is inviolable though fundamental rights could be violated. In Indira Nehru Gandhi and Minerva Mills it was held that from 24.04.1973, the validity of a statute has to be tested on the Basic Structure. Independence of Judiciary is one of the Basic features of the constitution. The independence of the judiciary is not about the independent discharge of the functions of a judge subsequent to his appointment but is all about the very appointment, i.e., who appoints. Who appoints the judges is the core of...
