Important letter to CJI seeking permission to reister FIR agst J. Narayan Shukla, Allhabad High Court, based on CBI enquiry against him in connection with illegal gratification taken to pass orders in favour of the Prasad Medical Trust @pbhushan1 @AnjaliB_ @nikhilmkss
I ask CJI to permit FIR against Justice Shukla whose impeachment has been recommended but govt sits on it. PE of CBI shows he accepted bribe in case of Prasad Education Trust. I request CJI to consult collegium since he earlier declined permission to CBI

CJI master of roster or king of court!
Read Prashant Bhushan on how the Supreme Court has let go of the opportunity to immunise allocation of cases from abuse of power by the CJI and to democratise the process

CJI writes to HCs to fill vacancies in subordinate judiciary to tackle pendency. Will CJI sound a wake up call to the government as well, to respond to Collegium recommendations for High Court and Supreme Court appointments?

Rapacious & rampant exploitation of our natural resources is the hallmark of our iron ore mining sector–coupled with a total lack of concern for the environment& the health &well-being of the denizens in the vicinity of the mines -Justice Madan B Lokur, iron ore mining judgement nitter.cf/CJARIndia/status/96144…

Even a cursory glance at this new roster raises more questions than puts to rest the issue of a fair and transparent roster for allocation of cases in our apex court

Justice Sawant's wise words: Giving the CJI power to allocate cases as he pleases to hand picked judges will reduce the SC to the decision of CJI alone. He can get any case decided as per his wishes. This has happened before. If this continues, it will reduce democracy to a farce
"The chief justice must involve senior judges when sensitive cases are to be decided...the exercise of any power which has far reaching consequences cannot be left in the hands of one man" - Justice P.B. Swant, former Judge Supreme Court @pbhushan1

A tale of two similar cases and the CJIs handling of each - more than meets the eye. @nikhilmkss @AnjaliB_ @johriamrita @alokpi

The CJI's curious handling of 2 medical cases, where he denied permission to CBI to register an FIR &thus arrest the HC judge red handed with bribe&the other where he has ordered withdrawal of work from judge, underlines need to inquire into CJI's own role

The CJI has preferred to maintain absolute silence. There is no word from him...in certain matters silence is not an option - former HC judge, Rekha Sharma
