Protection from defamation in a judicial proceedings – Concerted act on the part of Hon’ble Mr. Justice M. Jamdar to malign and defame me, a lawyer – Complaint reg.

My tryst with the justice delivery system began at a young age in 1979 as a litigant in the Munsiff Court, Pala. I conducted the case mostly as a party in person up to the Supreme Court.

A Call for Abolishing the Senior Designation in the Legal Profession

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Open Letters

Dear Ms. Indira Jaising, Sub: Abolition of senior designation- reg.

On the topic of abolition of senior designation I was under impression that we agreed and on the question of abolition of the collegium we are poles apart. While you support the system of entitlement, patronage, nepotism, dynasty, of which the collegium has become a synonym, I believe that until we abolish the collegium, the culture of entitlement and kinship will continue, our judiciary has...
