I mentioned the petition seeking reconsideration of the NJAC judgment before the CJI. The audio and video were muted, so the world did not come to know what happened.
I have been seeking a reconsideration of the NJAC judgment from the very day it was pronounced in 2015. I took up the matter with almost all Chief Justices since then, except Justice Gogoi. I didn’t take it up with Justice Gogoi because I hardly had any hope at all, whereas I had some hope […]
Why am I irreverent, nay contemptuous, of the Supreme Court of India?
If something is stated in one or two pages, people can read and understand it. Similarly, if something horrible and atrocious—against common sense and reason—is written in a hundred pages, who has the time to read and understand it? So, all these long judgments are absurd.Sorry to use such a strong term, but the Supreme […]
First-generation lawyers and the underprivileged, wake up! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Assert your rights and unite.
Our justice delivery system serves only a handful of lawyer and judicial families and dynasties. Invoking the basic structure doctrine, they have rewritten the Constitution and created the Collegium, arrogating to themselves the power to appoint judges. Through PILs, they make laws behind the backs of the people affected and run the Government. Using the […]
Mullaperiyar: The Ignorance of Fundamental Principles of Law by Our Lawyers and Judges Puts Millions of Keralites at Risk.

My Philosophy
The fact that I do not approve of family dynasties—whether in the Congress, the DMK, the Akalis or the Thackerays—does not mean that I support the BJP. I support whoever does the right thing. It does not matter who does it: whoever is right is right, and whoever is wrong is wrong. I stand with […]
Drops of water hollow a stone; persistence pays. Fathima Cashew, an MSME, has almost won the battle after its case was dismissed unjustly umpteen times. Read the order of the Kerala High Court.
Persistence is one principle I firmly believe in: nothing is impossible if you persist. If an objective we seek to achieve is attainable, rational, sensible, legitimate, legal, moral, and ethical, then we must not abandon our efforts, regardless of the hurdles that arise. Repeated failures naturally make one feel disappointed and tempted to give up […]
Who will become the Chief Justice of India: Justice Pardiwala or Justice Dipankar Datta?
I have no special preference, affection, or bias for either Justice Pardiwala or Justice Dipankar Datta. However, there are a few interesting facts regarding their judicial trajectories. Justice Dipankar Datta was born on February 9, 1965. He was appointed as a judge of the Calcutta High Court on June 22, 2006, at the young age […]
We Must Return to Ballot Papers.
I do not consider that the allegations of vote theft raised by Rahul Gandhi have any element of truth. I do not think Modi won the 2024 election through vote theft. Had that been the case, he would have secured a much more comfortable victory in Varanasi, and the overall 2024 electoral results would have […]
Why does the Supreme Court hear only Sibal, Singhvi, Bhushan, Jaising, and their ilk—the dynasties—and shoo away ordinary lawyers?
Mrs. Indira Jaising is a well-known and respected senior advocate, but many of her submissions and pleadings have shocked me. Yesterday in the Supreme Court, while complaining that a lady journalist had been sexually assaulted, she asked for a committee to investigate the allegations against a police officer. The reason she offered was: how could […]
