It takes a while for the speech writers of the Honorable Law Minister to come up with some new jargon in the administration of justice. Last time he spat the idea of abandoning the hitherto followed procedure for the appointment of judges. Now he has a brand new idea, which is to “introduce a new bill to check corruption and increase accountability in the judiciary.” This bill will be known as the “Judges Standard and Accountability Bill,” and it will be introduced in the parliament soon.

I quote the Honorable Law Minister’s statement as reported “The Judge Enquiry Act of 1968 will not take us anywhere. This is my conclusion. I have come to this conclusion. There is no point in talking about this individual or that individual in this system. What have you given? Have you created an environment so that nobody can be corrupt? If you can create that kind of situation, which is possible, I don't think anybody can be corrupt. Now, I have already drafted a bill called the Judges Standard and Accountability Bill. No person with a shadow of corruption can become a judge if that system is put into place."

"The work of the national legal mission is borne out of the national consolations where we have worked out a vision of timely delivery of justice to all, a vision to strengthen judiciary to reducing pendencies (Microsoft Word cannot find that word) and delays. Idea is that we will not hesitate to take decisions on human resource development management, infrastructure -physical and technological, policy changes and procedural reforms and also create a special purpose vehicle to fund it. Because when all this work is lined up people say where is the fund for it. We are creating that, a dedicated fund both at the state level and the central level so that all that we intend to achieve should not suffer want of funds,"

The Honorable Law Minister’s blah blah sounds “Vasishtonian,” for “am aadmi,” but for one who regularly reads newspapers and familiar with political sycophancy and corruption in the Indian democracy it does sound like the “aalaapana” by a comedian acting like a talented musician. Mr. Law Minister, stop brow beating the judiciary which is by far the most competent and least corrupt apparatus in the Indian democracy. Your work is cut out, which is to refine the Indian political system which is corrupt, opportunistic, nonperforming and gradually eating away the Indian nation like the piranhas doing a floating carcass. Bring out laws to stop illegal mining by Congress leaders in Andhra Pradesh, to make bureaucracy accountable for their lack of analytical judgment, laws to control unlawful religious conversion, to control taking advantage of young girls and brain washing them into converting to other religions, to ensure the defense of our land border and coastlines, to stop incompetence and waste of public money in public sector enterprises involved in defense production of strategic resources, improving the combat efficiency of our defense forces and if you need ideas, give us a call at Sangh Parivar.
