Unlawful ? May be !
Ex-Supreme Court judge, Shri Katju had
following to say about the Supreme Court and the Lodha Committe , in relation
to BCCI mismanagement / corruption ( as reported in HINDU / 08 Aug 2016 ) :
“ If the parent [the judgment] is illegal, the Justice
Lodha Committee’s recommendations also goes. The judgment has not only violated
the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act but also the Constitution ”
“ The Supreme Court had over-reached itself and
indulged in judicial legislation unmindful of the fact that there are several
larger Bench decisions prohibiting the same. ”
“ This order is legislative in nature and could
not have been passed validly by the Court. ”
" The Supreme Court could have no doubt
forwarded the Lodha Committee’s recommendations to Parliament with their own
recommendation that they be enacted as a law by Parliament, but to direct
itself that the recommendations be implemented is clearly a legislative act not
within the court’s domain. ”
“ Here, the
Supreme Court has not only usurped the powers of the Registrar of Societies,
but also outsourced the power of punishment to a committee of retired judges.
All this was done under a PIL [petition]. This is nothing but a violation of
the Constitution and the relevant statute... It is time the judiciary learnt
self-restraint, ”
In a TV interview, Shri Katju went to the
extent of calling the Supreme Court judges," Emperors / Dictators / Arrogant "
What Shri Katju chose to forget ( on purpose no
doubt ), is that , for the poor / suffering / starving / oppressed people of
India , the Supreme Court is the " Court of
last Resort "
A Court which ( of late ) , has come to the
rescue of the suffering citizens of India , when the Legislative Wings have
miserably failed to address their problems and the cancer of corruption has
corroded the Executive Wing !
Will Shri Katju explain his deafening silence
during his tenure as Supreme Court judge when :
# Minority Parties in Lok Sabha held to
ransom , the Women's Representation Bill for 37 years
# Congress held up GST Constitutional
Amendment Bill for past 2 years
# A succession of Congress Governments,
aided and abetted ,the parallel economy of BLACK MONEY for 50 years
# Even as 1.2
million children ( under 5 ) die each year due to starvation, millions of tons of
grain rot in open
# Some 360 workers of FCI collect salary
of Rs 4.5 lakh per month by " outsourcing " their work to contract
labour
# Companies blatantly siphoned off Rs 7 lakh*crore worth of
loans from accommodating bankers and the govt
decides to bail-out those
banks by handing over tax-payers money , even as 17,000
farmers commit suicide
each year because they
cannot repay loans of few thousands of rupees
# Lakhs of crores of rupees pocketed by
politicians and bureaucrats in hundred of SCAMS relating to government
contracts / purchases /
so-called auctions / licenses / leases / allotments / advertisements / any
excuse !
# Lakhs of crores of rupees lost by
hundreds of PSUs over the past 60 years, while govt kept these alive on a life
support system of tax payers money, even as
their workers played cards in factories
# Thousands of poor people dying
prematurely because of floods / droughts / fires / accidents / building
collapses
/ hooch / adulterated food /
fake medicines / arsenic-laced water ( just look up morning headlines )
All of these are preventable ,
only if the Executives ( government officers ) did their job honestly /
diligently
# Thousands of crores of rupees of poor
people swindled by PONZI SCHEMES operating with political blessings
# Millions of tons of our Mineral
Resources getting pilfered each year under the protection of politicians
# Thousands of tanneries polluting Ganga
/ Yamuna rivers and turning them into gutters , over past 40 years
# Millions of small children working in
brass / leather / cracker factories for 14 hours
per day , on a slice of bread
I can go on and on
Dear Shri Katju :
What the Supreme Court did ( in BCCI and a few
other similar situations ) , may not be " correct " in the eyes of the law but it is the " right thing to do " in
the eyes of the poor people of India
But for such judicial interventions , I am
afraid the day is not far when the poor people sleeping on the rain-drenched
footpath outside my home , just walk in and occupies my bedroom ! or your
bedroom ?
I may not like that but can I grudge their
" Moral Right " to
do just that after 60 years of silent suffering ?
