Justice G.S.Patel:”Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”
Mathews J Nedumpara98205 3542810th June 2026. The threat Justice G.S. Patel faces today to himself and his family members ought to be a matter of great concern not merely for the members of the bar and the bench, but for the public at large. However, there is hardly any such concern or sympathy I could […]
The Supreme Court, which asserts jurisdiction over anything and everything under the sun, does not even spare the Supreme Court Bar Association; what is the remedy?
Mathews J Nedumpara8th June 2026. Our Constitution contemplates the legislature, executive and judiciary to be separate and independent wings of the State with the press as the fourth estate. The power of legislation is vested in the exclusive domain of the legislature. The record of a Parliament binds all, for we all as citizens are […]
The Supreme Court, which dismisses the Writ Petitions/SLPs and Review Petitions of common citizens in hearings that last less than 93 seconds by one-line orders, has all the time to hear the fancy PILs of the rich and elite and those of Prashant Bhushan and Ashwani Upadhyay on issues which are not justiciable at all, but meant to gain political score! Should we allow this to continue and remain hapless spectators?
Mathews J Nedumpara4th June 2026. The Supreme Court, by dismissing Writ Petitions and SLPs of the common man by one-line, non-speaking orders, namely, “We are not inclined to admit the SLP/Writ Petition,” in a hearing which studies indicate does not last more than 93 seconds on an average, has rendered Article 32, which Dr. Ambedkar […]
Article 32, the very heart and soul of the Constitution, is dead. Is what remains a requiem?
Mathews J Nedumpara2nd June 2026 2.The bare facts are that the Petitioners in WP (L) no 18105/2026 before the Bombay High Court are in occupation of the shanties set up in the Bandra railway station at least since 1995. A statutory eligibility document, namely, Annexure II to the Garib Nagar Bandra East, prepared by the […]
Today’s (May 11, 2026) Supreme Court judgment on Ojha, President of the Gujarat High Court Advocates Association, proves once again that the bar is dead; only a requiem remains.
Mathews J nedumpara.11th May 2026 Sri. Ojha is a good friend of mine, and I am one of his well-wishers. But I am flabbergasted by the insult he has been made to invite on himself by Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Kapil Sibal, and others. Ojha, in a moment of emotional outburst, wrote something he ought not […]
Litigants, listen to my words seriously; never invoke Article 226, and certainly not in the Bombay High Court; denial of justice is a fait accompli.
Mathews J Nedumpara1st May 2026. 1.My message is clear from the very title of this article itself. These words are not those of a disgruntled litigant, but of a lawyer who has spent a lifetime in the legal profession and one who has been relentlessly campaigning for judicial transparency and reforms for at least the […]
The new lady justice statue unveiled by the Chief Justice
The new lady justice statue unveiled by the Chief Justice Mathews J Nedumpara 17.10.202498205 35428. Was taken aback to find this news. I thought it had to be misreported. The statue of lady justice is no longer blindfolded inviting the derision from the common people that depicts the truth of Indian judiciary where the only […]
