Justice versus judiciary : justice enthroned or entangled in India
Material type: TextPublication details: New Delhi OUP 2019Description: xiv, 382pISBN: 978019490493Subject(s): Administration of Justice India-Supreme Court Court congestion and delay Judges LawyersDDC classification: 347.54 Summary: There can be no dispute that the judges of the high courts and the Supreme Court of India wield tremendous powers. However, power comes with a price which bestows huge responsibility. Building on this narrative, the book advocates that judges must be made accountable not only in respect of their personal conduct and integrity, but also in respect of the judicial verdicts they deliver. This book, thus, critically discusses Articles 141, 142, and 144, which make the Supreme Court the most powerful institution in the country, and Articles 32 and 136, which also confer wide powers on it. Using these powers, the apex court sometimes, unmindful of the budgetary and other vital implications, tends to pass orders which lack the scope for implementation. The book suggests measures to improve the functioning of Indian judicial system and save the institutions of justice from turning autocratic and narcissistic.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
