SC collegium’s biggest crisis as Justice Chelameswar refuses to attend its meetings

Justice Jasti Chelameswar’s revolt against the Supreme Court’s collegium, reported exclusively by the New Indian Express, is the story of the day. Justice Chelameswar is reportedly of the view that there is no point in attending the collegium’s meetings, as long as its deliberations are kept under wraps.

Justice Chelameswar, by his refusal to join the rest of the collegium on principle, will surely put him apart from the pro-status quo group among the Judges, and earn him a definite place in the history of the Supreme Court. A known dissenter, Justice Chelameswar, must have thought this was the moment to strike, and expose the Collegium, which after claiming credit for the NJAC judgment, with its emphasis on transparency etc. was doing exactly the opposite, by keeping its deliberations, and communications with the Centre on the MoP secret.

Many observers feel that it is easy to blame the Centre for the imbroglio over Memorandum of Procedure; but the Collegium should equally take the blame for the stand-off.

The MoP stalemate has also invited a critical commentary today from Justice A.P.Shah and Arghya Sengupta, who in their article in The Hindu, question the wisdom of keeping the differences between the Centre and the Collegium, under wraps.

Justice Chelameswar was the lone dissenter in the NJAC judgment delivered by the five-Judge Constitution bench in October last year. He not only upheld the NJAC law, passed by Parliament, but found the Collegium system of appointments lacking in transparency and effectiveness. Subsequently, however, he joined the rest in the consequential judgment on the Collegium, delivered in December, because it sought to improve the Collegium system.

Justice Chelameswar’s refusal to attend the collegium’s meeting, only underscores his intense displeasure with its style of functioning, which is inconsistent with the NJAC bench’s December judgment.

FINALLY 1 honest Judge in the SC. Now I can die in peace.


Chief Justice TS Thakur crying in protest,

Looks like game over for all political Parties in Punjab

Navjot Sidhu - ex MP from Amritsar

Pargat Singh - Current MLA from Jalandhar Cantt

Bains Brothers - Both MLA from Ludhiana ....won independently by defeating Mayor of Ludhiana and a cabinet minister


PARTY HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED BY THEM

some one ask durgesh pathak and bhagwant mann......kaise banoge CM

Bains have a considerable influence in Ludhiana bussiness leaders......so funding wont be a issue for them.
They even stood for MP elections in 2014 ...and got votes in lakhs.....maintained lead in their assembly sections too....every party is going to suffer in Ludhiana due to them especially Akalis and AAP

Pargat Singh is an Olympain Hockey Player....and currently suspended by AKali Dal for speaking against Badal having some political following in parts of Jalandhar

Navjot singh sidhu and his wife Dr Navjot Kaur have fan following all over Punjab and Sidhu can play a prominent face for CM post ...which AAP lacks .....Navjot kaur is very vocal against Akalis as well as BJP....so they are expected to cut a considerable anti-badal votes.....harming congress and AAP ......

Now if Chottepur decided to join this party ( He is holding meeting today this evening and will declare the decision in couple of days) .....this new party will get major boost in the form of a large number of volunteers and set organisational structure in major part of the state. Plus it will be harder for opponents to win in Gurdaspur area.

Support of Patiala MP is also a major factor here....if he decided to extend his support ....it will result in a considerable benefit in the vote share in Patiala and surrounding areas.

It is expected that many prominent AAP leaders are going to follow Chottepur in his decision .......I personally think joining them will be good for Punjab as well as Chottepur...............I am gonna meet Chottepur and tell him what i think.....just hoping he wont be angry at me as I told him 3 yrs ago to join AAP

Hope this leads to something. At the present moment SC collegium is nothing but a group of spoiled brats who think they are independent of any scrutiny! It really makes my blood boil when I see CJI casting aspersions on central govt for lack of judges in various courts in India..while it's the Collegium which sends the list to the govt without even revealing the process or criteria for selecting judges transparently! Govt needs to be a part too in this selection process.. Judges can't just select themselves at their will & free of intense scrutiny!

How dare you.

The Supreme Courts in true Colonial Tradition work only for 9 months in a year

You see the weather in India is too hot for them. They need a summer Vacation. Its a shame PMO or Cops or anybody else do not get this leave with Pay.

Judges of the SC are special breed of "elite" Indians who is a law onto themselves.

Navjot Sidhu To Lead New Party To Be Launched Next Week

CHANDIGARH: The suspense is over. Navjot Singh Sidhu will lead a new political party in Punjab, where assembly elections will be held early next year.

The party, Awaz-e-Punjab, will be launched on September 9, declared a big red poster shared on Facebook by the cricketer-turned-politician's wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who is a BJP lawmaker in the Punjab Assembly.

Mr Sidhu had walked out of the BJP in July and was in talks to join Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party for weeks. Those reportedly floundered over Mr Sidhu's demand that he be projected as the party's candidate for chief minister.


A Congress's invitation to Mr Sidhu was a non-starter, with Mrs Sidhu publicly nixing Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh's offer.

The poster she has shared today features Mr Sidhu dressed all in black and flanked by former hockey great and his close friend Pargat Singh and an independent lawmaker from Ludhiana, Simarjit Singh Bains.

Mr Bains told NDTV that Navjot Singh Sidhu will be the presumptive chief minister of the new front. "We are in talks with all like-minded people to form a non-Akali, non-Congress and non-AAP political front,' Mr Bains said.

He alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party, "which talked about giving an alternative to the people of Punjab has been exposed by its own people".

Pargat Singh, who shared the poster on Facebook too, is on his way out of Punjab's ruling Akali Dal.

*conspiracy mode ON*
Considering Sidhu's feud was mainly with Badals I think Amit Shah propped Sidhu to form a new party and eat into votes of AAP and if Chhotepur joins Sidhu than we might see an alliance of Awaz E Punjab and BJP

*conspiracy mode OFF*

. "We are in talks with all like-minded people to form a non-Akali, non-Congress and non-AAP political front,' Mr Bains said......

Funny how there's no mention of the BJP......

Does Sidhu have any public support and base in Punjab ?

He is quite a popular leader in Punjab, he alone can't do it but if right mix of leaders join him his party could end up winning enough seats to be a king maker.

BJP-Congress Murdabad

So what's the current price to take a picture with Durgesh Pathak? Is it still 5 lac or has it gone down to 5 paise now?

he will have to pay us money get his pic clicked with us now

Funny how there's no mention of the BJP......

because BJP dont exist in Punjab

Punjabis hate sanghis ........except is u are a drunk sanghi like @ranjeet

Does Sidhu have any public support and base in Punjab ?

a little political support in pockets of Amritsar and Patiala .........but his fan following is quite good ........only time can tell how much it can turn into vote bank.

but political support of Bains brothers is too much ........they practically own ludhiana.......Pargat Singh has ok type support ...as he is very new in politics .....a new guy can play role in making others join them....like he did by bringing these people together

they lack organisation setup........which can be filled with Chottepur.......who has support of half of party cadres of AAP Punjab.........IF HE DECIDED TO JOIN IT
