As Justice H.L. Dattu read out the judgment on the bail pleas of five 2G accused- Unitech's Sanjay Chandra, DB Realty's Vinod Goenka and Reliance ADAG's Gautam Doshi, Surender Pipara and Hari Nair- there was a sigh of relief in the courtroom. Five of the 14 accused in the 2G case had finally got a reprieve. The Supreme Court bench of Justices Dattu and G.S. Singhvi in its judgment said, "There is no good reason to detain the accused in custody, that too after the completion of investigation and filing of chargesheet. The trial began in Judge O.P. Saini's Patiala House court only on November 11, which means all the accused languishing in jail were not even undertrials. Senior Counsel Vineet Narain says getting bail is a fundamental right of every accused under Article 21 of the Constitu...
In December last year, an agitated Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director Amar Pratap Singh walked into the prime minister's office (PMO). He complained that his officers were under pressure to go slow in their investigation against the then telecom minister A. Raja. "I will have to work independently if the Government wants this investigation to reach its logical end," said Singh. If the big guns were interrogated honestly without any political interference, he said, public confidence in the system would improve drastically. Singh was granted a go-ahead. The fact that he needed clearance inadvertently confirmed a basic problem: the CBI moves less by the impulse of law and duty and more by the prodding of its political masters. With the recent fillip from the Supreme Court wanti...

The Supreme Court had crossed the mark of 50,000 pending cases June last year. [...] the Minister, acting Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Madan B Lokur, other Judges, more than 80 judicial officers and members of Shahdara Bar Association were present in the function organised by Criminal Justice Society of India at Karkardooma Courts Complex here.
We are fond of giving lectures... the time has come to practice what we preach." When the Chief Justice of India (CJI), Sarosh Homi Kapadia, warned his brother judges at a Bar Association lecture this April to look within, he gave voice to what everyone was thinking and no one dared say. He alerted judges against "adverse public perception", cautioned them not to "sit as a super-legislature", seek "popularity" or interact with lawyers and politicians: "We need a clean man in black robe. Fifteen months after the CJI started the honesty revolution in the judicial system, a careful but definite finger is being pointed at his own house. Should the Supreme Court (SC) get into the realm of policymaking, investigation and prosecution? In the black money case, for instance, the court has taken...

Ever since a local television channel in Kerala broke the story on the amassment of wealth, disproportionate to their known sources of income by relatives of former Chief Justice of India K.G. Balakrishnan, the judiciary has been facing flak from all over the state. The latest charge came from Congress MP K. Sudhakaran, who said he witnessed a Supreme Court judge being paid bribe about 18 years ago. The Congress hastened to disown the remark. "We are against making such charges against the judiciary," state party president Ramesh Chennithala said. Some lawyers have now requested the Supreme Court to initiate contempt proceedings against the MP. Cases have since been registered by the Delhi Police and the Kerala Police against the MP for deliberately hiding the crime from authorities. ..

Trinamool Congress doesn't think much of the apex court's order to redistribute the Singur land acquired for the Tata Nano project to farmers. Trinamool Congress MP and lawyer Kalyan Banerjee, who represented the state Government in the Supreme Court, says, "The Tatas moved three special leave petitions, but the court refused to hear and interfere in any as the same cases are pending with the Calcutta High Court." Banerjee emphasised that the interim order only stopped the distribution of land for now, not the measure itself. A vacation bench halted Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's long promised plan to return Singur farmers the land acquired for Tata Motors' Nano factory. "As an interim order, we direct the state Government not to hand over or return land to farmers until a further ord...
The calm with which both Muslims and Hindus reacted to the February 22 special court judgment on the Godhra train carnage of February 27, 2002 was an indication of how far Gujarat has moved on since the 2002 riots. The relatives of the 95 accused or those of the 59 kar sevaks killed in the incident were at Sabarmati Jail when special court judge P.R. Patel pronounced his verdict. The judgment convicted 31 of the 95 accused and upheld the Gujarat Police's claim that a conspiracy was hatched by a group of five accused to burn the train bringing kar sevaks from Ayodhya. There were no incidences of violence after the verdict, which should mark the end of the Godhra carnage in 2002 as a political slogan. The trial of the case began in 2009 when the Supreme Court lifted a five-and-a half-year...
The Supreme Court on September 12 gave Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi reason to smile when it said that there was no need now on its part to monitor the 2002 riots cases. It referred the complaint of Zakia Jafri, widow of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was slain by riotous mobs, seeking to prosecute Modi and 62 others, back to the trial court. It also expressed full faith in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by it that is probing the riots cases. Modi refused to speak to the media but hit out at his rivals for defaming Gujarat in a three-page open letter to Gujaratis. He then announced a three-day fast from September 17, his birthday, as part of his 'Sadhbhavna Mission' for peace and unity in the state.
