Judges Belong To A Superior World?

Reading any newspaper or watching TV will tell you one and only one thing. The world which you live in and erroneously think as if it is your world you are sadly mistaken, wake up and face the real world the place where the Judiciary of the Democratic India where constitutionally everyone is born equal and will be treated equally in the eyes of law is above this ruling.

The judges who give rulings everyday regarding equality believe that they are above the rest of Indians even above politicians. They are not ready to bare their list of assets to public. Oh they have condescended to give a list but only for the eyes of a chosen few in the Government and this list shall not be made public or disclosed and shall not be called for or put into question by any citizen, court or authority. The proposed bill which by the way was stonewalled in the Rajya Sabha also sought immunity from any inquiry or query in relation to the contents of the declaration by any person.

It simply means that the judges are omnipotent, powerful and above ordinary Indian citizen and they will not tolerate any query regarding their assets. This simply violated the the fundamental right as per article 19(1)(a) the right to freedom and speech and which also provides the basis for the right to know later enacted as the Right To Information.

The Right to Information is a thorn in the side for many politicians, government offices and many PSUs. next all of them will be up in arms demanding the same immunity so that there is no accountability of any kind.

Judges are not the business men.They have the structured salaries and those are well documented. So, it is really surprising why they are hesitating to declare their assets?

This is a classic example of clash between the judiciary and the legislature branches of the govt. Unfortunately the people who ultimately lose are the common men.

Are the judges above the law of the land. If He passes the judgement, then he should be the one to follow it first. The law applies to each and every one and to that respect Judges should be the first one to abide by the laws.

These are only one sided views on the issue. The judges declare their assets to Supreme court. The CJI and other judges are denying from declaring the assets to avoid any political interference in the functioning of judiciary. We should trust at least the apex court. They have their own mechanism to check the functioning of judges.

Why the judges are so concerned and scared of declaring the assets if they don't have anything to hide. They should in fact set an example for others to follow. The reluctance in declaring the assets shows how deep is the corruption in the judicial system.
