Dear Editor,
I have read with great interest Prashant Bhushan’s interview as carried out in your esteemed journal.
That there is a need to clean up 含羞草社区 courts is now recognized even by the apex court itself. The observations of the Supreme Court regarding the functioning of Allahabad High Court is a glaring admission of judicial deficiencies and falling and failing standards.
Prashant has been saying the same things – perhaps in different words, but the essence is the same.
I agree with Prashant that a popular movement is required to “have a clean, functional and efficient system in which disputes can be quickly resolved”.
I also agree that the present system of judicial appointment “needs to be replaced with a full-time, permanent constitutional body called the Judicial Appointments Commission” and also a “Judicial Performance Commission or Judicial Complaints Commission to examine complaints against judges”.
