Where a statute provides for an appeal against an interim order, is it open to a litigant to choose at his sweet will, a variation at the hands of the court of first instance or to opt for an appeal? Does the doctrine of res judicata have any application?

(Excerts from an affidavit drafted by Sri. Nedumpara) 1. This Court by its order dated 21.12.2021 was pleased to protect me from dispossession, but subject to the condition that I pay an amount of Rs. 25 lakhs. Had this Court had the benefit of hearing my lawyer, I bonafide believe, that this Court would have protected me without conditions. I sought my counsel’s advice. He told me that I can seek correction of the order before this Court (single bench) itself, or prefer an appeal under Section 5 of the Kerala High Court Act, which provides for an appeal even against...

Until we abolish Collegium and senior designation, judicial reforms will remain as a mere myth.

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Open Letters

31st of March 2022. Dear fellow citizens, Our aim should not be confined to AIJS. That is certainly a worthy cause. But we must fearlessly enter the larger battle field. Dismantling of Collegium. Come what may, i have decided to pursue the cause marshalling all my resources. I may not see any definite success. But i will have the satisfaction that i did what i can. The defeat is going to be only temporary. The judges may harm me personally in many ways as they did in the past. But that is not going dissuade me from the path of judicial reforms...

VIDEO-RECORDING OF PROCEEDINGS OF COURTS AND TRIBUNALS – A PANACEA FOR THE ILLS WHICH INDIAN JUDICIARY FACES TODAY.

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Open Letters

What prompts me to pen these few lines is a query from one of the few law students who started interning with me recently. The query was, what is the inspiration for me to initiate the campaign titled National Lawyers’ Campaign for Judicial Transparency and Reforms and the video-recording of proceedings of all Courts and Tribunals in the country as its prime objective. 1. I had no difficulty to answer the query because of the injustice which I personally had to undergo, for, the Judges enjoy absolute immunity in the discharge of their official function and for all practical purposes the...

Reply by our President, Mr. Mathews Nedumpara to the letter of a Former Union Minister and currently a Member of Parliament on Judicial Reforms.

Posted by Mathews J Nedumpara

in Open Letters

Sir, Thank you so much for your kind letter and the good wishes for my humble effort. Judicial reform is nearly impossible without the actual participation and initiative of the members of Parliament. The perception of the general public is that most of our political leaders are corrupt or incompetent. I certainly do not subscribe to that view. I have been campaigning that to demonize the political executive and political leaders is doing great disservice to the idea of democracy. The decision of the Parliament, as the great philosopher, Sir Thomas Smith, has said in the 16th century, is the decision...
