Mr Prime Minister,

Greetings! Have a great day!

Before I proceed further I must express my helplessness in compromising with the twin requirements of brevity and comprehensiveness while writing to somone like you. You are the first Prime Minister that I know of who is working so hard, so focussed and with the best interests of the nation in your mind. The only other name I can recollect is of Sri Lal Bahadur Sastri. But unfortunately his term was cut short and we are still to know the truth behind his mysterious death in foreign soil.

Somebody had rightly said that those who condemn politics as the last refuge of a scoundrel are bound to be ruled by scoundrels. And we need not go further than our Constitution to realise how those who had inherited power from the colonisers let down the masses who had made tremendous sacrifices for the freedom they had struggled for. Law makers without any prescribed qualities, qualifications or experience, their men Fridays (popularly known as bureaucrats, who are required to help them in decision making by collecting and collating data and maintaining records) without any accountability but with all the scope for manipulations and a judiciary which has the scope for making the most arbitrary and whimsical decisions being held not only without accountability and beyond criticism but also protected by a totally illogical and weird armour called contempt of court, are the essential features of this Constitution in a nut shell.With such a Constitution and laws made under it, it is no wonder that governance in India had become synoymous with corruption and treason!

Now, I am also aware that you have no magic wand to do all that needs to be done. But still there can be a list of to do things arranged priority wise. And here is where all that thrust on Swatch Bharat and Make in India, however well intented and necessary, sound as hollow as Garibi Hatao of the 1970s.

Changes must no doubt begin with government administration. I do not know if you have heard about the Independent Commission against Corruption of Hong Kong and how they cleansed the country of corruption in the 1980s. The reality in India is terribly worse. But nothing seems to be moving in that direction. I must say that much more than what has been achieved by demonetisation would have been achieved by conducting a surgical strike at corruption at the top echelons of the bureaucracy. Your thrust on Aadhaar can also be considered quixotic given the fact that a similar program had been discarded by much thinly populated but economically much stronger nations like the US of A, UK and Australia on two counts- privacy and cost. And we are a country where even after continuing with a program like PDS ever since independence, we cannot issue ration cards faultlessly! If you doubt my words ask the CM, Mr Pinarayi Vijayan, why the Food Security Act has not been implemented in Kerala so far!

The implementation of the Right to Information Act should be a case study on how laws should not be enacted only to be subverted with impunity by those very public servants who are tasked, empowered, equipped and paid to enforce them. I can state without an iota of doubt that had our justice delivery system been even 10 pc as effective as it ought to be all the information commissioners at the Central Information Commission and Kerala State Information Commission would be spending the rest of their life behind bars after being convicted under Sec 219 of the IPC.

That also brings me to the fact that all crimes, with exceptions, can be considered to begin in some government office. It starts with denial of mandatory services, progresses through bribe and culminates with judiciary asking for proof for demand of bribe for convicting the corrupt! You may like to recollect the case where a lower court judge in Gujarat had issued non bailable warrants against the then President and the then CJI after taking bribes. After the initial hue and cry the matter ended with the apex court exonerating the judge on the ground that he signs many documents in a day and he cannot be held guilty if some wrong documents had been signed by him! And one is yet to know of the results of the prosecution of the sting operators in that case for defaming the judiciary! And what has happened to P D Dinakaran who resigned the day before he was to be impeached? And the case where bribe money was delivered wrongly to one judge instead of another judge with a similar name?

The apex court may have illegally abrogated the National Judicial Appointment Commission Act and one can understand your helplessness. Hoping for the day when you will have atleast two thirds majority in the Parliament and one can work towards not only a National Judicial Appointment Commission  but also the more important National Judicial Accountability Commission with powers to try judges as per laws applicable to ordinary citizens and with double the
severity in punishments. Meanwhile what about all those quasi judicial organisations which are as bad or worse than the information commissions and even the courts? Don’t you think that a National Quasi Judicial Appointments Commission and a National Quasi Judicial Accountability Commission are equally needed and feasible?

I will sign off for now because when I start on this subject of transparency and accountabilty in government the volume could exceed Mahabharath and Ramayan put together. There are some blogs posted at http://raviforjustice.blogspot.in dealing with subjects ranging from ‘Who will judge the judges?‘ to ‘Will the army chief get justice?‘ and ‘Fraud in governance and redressal of public grievances‘ to ‘ RTI Act-Shailesh Gandhi and Schopenhauer's Law of Entropy‘ and ‘ RTIA-Exposing the Idiots and Traitors amoung Public Servants‘ to ‘ For whom the Soldiers sacrifice their Lives And Lifes…‘. You may like to peruse them.

To conclude, I only hope that this letter will be put up to you. But I also know that I can get through to you without any babus coming between us. So please do not be surprised if I have to post this as a blog and tweet the URL to you.

Jai Hind!

Regards and best wishes,




(P M Ravindran)

These are the citizens who had supported the petition at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/jrandac1/petition.html, the text of which is now posted at http://raviforjustice.blogspot.in/2017/05/310505-petition-to-constitute-national.html

429. Prof P Sudarshan The legal and Judicial system of India is a travesty of Justice and a betrayal of the constitution of the world's largest 'democracy' AND a republic, to boot. Judges, akin to Caesar's wife, ought to be above reproach. By this measure Indian Judges AND Chief Justices of India have betrayed India. Judicial activism seems to be a reactive response (far from proactive), more as a cover for gross judicial failure since Independance. Reforms have to proceed from the TOP, not the bottom. Is there any hope for the Indian Judicial system to redeem itself from the present abysmal depths to which it has volutarily, happily descended, as a cohort of treachery, corruptrion & nepotism? Remember, Revolutions including violent ones like the French Revolutions, DONT start from the TOP....they are initiated by the frustrations of repressed masses....a mere 1.2 billion in India, that is Bharat!  E42 'MANISH', 10 Convent Rd, Bangalore 560025
428. Somasekhar V K There should not be any limitation of time for those affected and even past cases can be tried. Since like in Thomas case these judges enjoy powers even after retirement as they have tended to Corrupt Politicians.

424. Brig Sukhdev Singh Advocate S Bhushan has conveyed to the Supreme Court the state of integrity of Judges,incl the CJ's of the Apex Court.There is an urgent need for the Govt to take remedial measures to restore the confidence of the public in the Judiciary.One of these actions could be the Judicial Reforms Commissionin addition to any other legislation aimed at making the Judiciary more accountable.

312. Krishnaraj Rao I concur that the recommended changes are urgent, as the judiciary has become a law unto itself and needs to be severely reigned in. The only justification for the judiciary to exist is if it truly gives timely and affordable justice to the common man, and deters the mighty from trampling over their rights. Currently, such is not the case. Currently, the justice of courts is unaffordable and unavailable to the common man.

261.

251. Syed Tanveeruddin The state of law and order is so appalling mainly because of the failure of our justice delivery system presided over by the judiciary. And the judiciary is failing us with impunity because there is no accountability, no check. And there will be no legislation to check them because most of our law-makers are themselves facing trials in various courts and depending on the whims and fancies of the judges to get away scot free. A law is on the anvil-the judges accountability bill- but it is illogical to trust judges to judge themselves. If that is so, why should the legislators and bureaucrats be dragged to courts? Shouldn't they also have laws to dispose of the cases against them, themselves? It is imperative to have a jury outside the judiciary, with of course a law-qualified member to guide the proceedings, to judge judges and the punishment should be at least twice severe as for ordinary citizens. Veerappa Moily Administrative Reforms Commission has recommended just about the same recently. Siddharthanagar, Mysore, Karnataka

Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhiana The judiciary framed in such a manner that it shall never be normally active and entertain any arguments on record against government policies may be expressed or implied. Let these might be adverse or harmful for masses especially minorities to any extent like killing of Muslims in Gujarat and the genocide of Sikhs in 1984, though it all happened under the unwritten policies framed, intentionally and deliberately, by the respective governments. No body can deny to the prevailing discriminatory judicial system in India. The Hon’ble court concerned may verbally utter harsh language in the matter against the functionaries of government for newspaper headlines only otherwise the net result would never be against the unlawful and inhuman actions of the State machinery. For the reason, every criminal and bad character likes to pose as a politician considering himself fully protected as a part of State. The rich and influenced is also always has upper hand in this judicial system.  Chief and Spokesperson, Sikh Vichar Manch, Resident of # 12333/1, Street# 12, Vishvakarma Colony, Behind Sangeet Cinema, Ludhiana-141003; Mobile: 98143-34544

189. vitthal dempo Its really high time we did something about our " judicial" system. While judges can pass 'strictures' against anyone while delivering judgements, no one can pass any against them, except by the judges of a superior court and you can do nothing to a supreme court judge except to impeach him. In most of the cases the delay in disposal of cases can be attributed to the judges alone. The increase in the incidents of extra judicial recourse by people is due this delay in delivery of judgement. There is a strong case for the judges to be judged on their performance and made accountable. Coming to the final conclusion I feel that the Reforms are an absolute necessity.

Can our experts of judiciary system find some way by which a normal and poor people can get justice without fearing the earlier mentioned power. Only then we can call India a truely Democratic country other wise it is a Democratic on paper and books only. It is late but not the end. Our Judiciary system must change.

The Executive can be curtailed and put under strict surveilance. Now with the tool of the Right to Information Act, a lot can be achieved. However, Judges have extraodinary powers and immunity. They are unquesitonable. Their Character and conductmust be absolutely above board Unfortunately we do no have that kind of quality. We are reaching a point when public confidence in the Judiciary is being tested, Lack of knowledge has created more impediments for Citizens to speak out in the open. Unless this is corrected, we are doomed. We fully support this petition and the sentiments expressed here.

149. Kush Singh This commission will come into being soon if we keep at it but it will be in a weakened form as the ruling elite have had a good time for decades now. The balance of power will shift slowly or speedily depending on how civil society gives more and more importance to the concept of governance and its relation to daily life. Unless and until Indian society gives paramount importance to governance, and particpates in decision making process and is ever vigilant, misgovernance (or corruption ) will not be tackled. We need to understand why we are failing in our quality of life by going deeper into an analysis and then action mode. The problem starts with us and not the other way round. I urge all the petitioners to find their areas of interest and join hands with likeminded NGOs and civil society movements in their own way but be regular and committed to action, however small.

      really make Judiciary more effective. After all Justice can only be
      imparted by having a keen insight of different aspects of the modern life.
      Above all there should be introduction of the test of morality fand
      sensitivity for all the public posts. We should work in the first place

      should also be put for disposing of the legal suits, say 2 or at the most,
      3 years. I have seen court cases which dragged on endlessly for decades
      till the financially weaker party wears out . Any delay, in finalising a
      case, should adversely reflect on the advancement of the judge.If he
      continously indulges in such delays, a provision should be catered for his
      removal with no permission to practise anywhere. Further, the advocates,
      of both the parties, should be disqualified from practising for a certain
      period- atleast for the period taken beyond 2 years. Moreover, the
      advocates should also be fined. Otherwise, under one pretext or the other,
      these advocates, working hand in glove with each other, seek adjournment,
      and judges are only eager to grant them, much to the dismay and

      attributed to the judges alone. The increase in the incidents of extra

      There is a strong case for the judges to be judged on their performance

310505-the-Petition-to-constitute-a-National-Judicial-Commission

TEXT OF THE ONLINE PETITION ADDRESED TO THE HON’BLE PRESIDENT OF INDIA AND PM TO CONSTITUTE A NATIONAL JUDICIAL COMMISSION TO TRY AND PUNISH GUILTY JUDGES AS PER LAWS APPLICABLE TO ORDINARY CITIZENS

A judiciary-headed (The Chairman was a former Chief Justice of India), judiciary-heavy (six of the eleven members, including the Chairman, were from the legal profession) National Commission to the Review of the Working of the Constitution has observed the following:

'Judicial system has not been able to meet even the modest expectations of the society.  Its delays and costs are frustrating, its processes slow and uncertain.  People are pushed to seek recourse to extra-legal methods for relief.  Trial system both on the civil and criminal side has utterly broken down.'

Also, 'Thus we have arrived at a situation in the judicial administration where courts are deemed to exist for judges and lawyers and not for the public seeking justice'.

However, no recommendation has been made to effectively tackle this. The two suggestions that have been made are really disastrous. This is what Dr Subash Kashyap (one of the five non-judicial members of the Commission and a former Secretary General of the Lok Sabha) has recorded in his Notes (to the report of the Commission):

Attention is also invited to the decision taken by the Commission at its 14th Meeting held on 14-18 December, 2001.  Para 16 of the minutes records that "There shall be a National Judicial Commission for making recommendation as to the appointment of a Judge of the Supreme Court (other than the Chief Justice of India), a Chief Justice of a High Court and a Judge of any High Court."

"The composition of the National Judicial Commission would be as under:

a) The Vice-President of India
b) The Chief Justice of India
c) Two senior-most Judges of the Supreme Court, next to the Chief Justice
d) The Union Minister for Law & Justice."

However the composition of the NJC as recommended by the Commission in its Final Report is:

The National Judicial Commission for appointment of judges of the Supreme Court shall comprise of:

(1) The Chief Justice of India                                     : Chairman
(2) Two senior most judges of the Supreme Court     : Member
(3) The Union Minister for Law and Justice               : Member
(4) One eminent person nominated by the President
after consulting the Chief Justice of India     : Member


Further, this is what the Commission has recommended on dealing with guilty judges:

In appropriate cases the Chief Justice of the High Court or the Chief Justice of India, may withhold judicial work from the judge concerned after the inquiry committee records a finding against the judge.
In serious cases, ‘if the decision of the said committee of (seven) judges recommends the removal of the Judge, it shall be a convention that the judge promptly demits office himself.  If he fails to do so, the matter will be processed for being placed before Parliament in accordance with articles 124(4) and 217(1) Proviso (b).’

This is what Dr Subash Kashyap has finally recorded in his Notes to the Report:
‘The Chapter 7 of the Report is titled ‘The Judiciary’.  This chapter particularly is seriously flawed and distorted. The much needed Judicial Reform issues have not been even touched or these got deleted in the final draft.  In matters like appointment of judges, the approach in the final chapter is heavily and unconstitutionally weighed in favour of the judges themselves selecting their own colleagues thereby striking at the legitimate powers of the Executive and the Parliament and disturbing the delicate balance in the polity.’

Under the circumstances, I appeal to the Hon’ble President of India, the Prime Minister and distinguished Representatives of the People to kindly constitute a National Judicial Commission to try and punish guilty judges as under:

The Commission should have powers to receive complaints against judges from any citizen of this country.

The Commission should have judicial powers but should have only one member from the legal profession as in army court-martials.

The Commission should have total powers and resources to investigate the allegations independently.

The Judge against whom allegation have been made should be deemed suspended once investigations have been initiated.

The trial should be concluded within three months of initiating the investigations.

The punishment should be deterrent. It should have atleast twice the severity as would be applicable for a non-legal person convicted for the same offences.

The only appeal permitted should be to the President of India who will dispose it off on the advice of the Vice-President, PM, Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Leaders of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
