In a devastating critique of the judiciary, the Supreme Court and the Collegium system, the likes of which I, at least, have not heard before from any lawyer speaking in public, one of India’s most highly regarded lawyers and a former President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, has said: “We have a large number of judges who are highly questionable. They either lack the expertise or the knowledge and most of all the commitment.” Dushyant Dave adds: “The Supreme Court is afraid of taking the executive head on”. Referring specifically to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he says is a strong Prime Minister like Indira Gandhi and doesn’t want the judiciary to question him, Mr. Dave adds “unless we have a judiciary who is willing to question day in and day out” it will be failing the country, the constitution and the concept of justice.
