When
a person is influential , well connected like Arnab Goswami bail is given
by SCI in a matter of few hours but commoners has to languish in jail
for years. If person happens to be influential industrialist like
Adani case is taken up even during court vacation, if commoner he has to wait
for years. If person happens to be super rich like Ambani crores of
rupees dues will be deferred , instalment facility for years is
extended if a commoner in same scenario doesn't pay dues
court confiscates his personal property, defaulter is put behind
bars. When influential persons land in trouble judges /
police take suo motto action to rescue them, whereas when a commoner appeals
, complains to police , supreme court specifically
requesting for justice , protection to life no appropriate action
taken. In each step of SCI judges there is bias in favor of rich /
influential.
SCI
Judges use “ CONTEMPT punishing powers “ as a weapon to
silence persons seeking accountability of judges. There
is also bias , double standards by SCI Judges just compare Advocate Nedumpara
, Justice Karnan with Advocate Prashanth Bhushan. Second compare.

Judges
& Police lack professionalism. SHAME SHAME JUDGES &
POLICE.
SHAME
SHAME to family members of such corrupt judges &
corrupt police, who enjoy luxurious lifestyle out of their
spouse's ill gotten money.
Will
apex court protect liberty for all citizens?
The
administering of justice should never be selective, or so lacking in humanity
that it revolts the human conscience.
The
Supreme Court of India upheld the principle of personal liberty by granting
interim bail to Republic TV’s chief Arnab Goswami in a 2018 case where he is
accused of abetment of suicide. This is a good thing. There are some who do not
like Goswami’s views, or the abusive felicity with which he name-calls and
verbally humiliates his ideological “opponents” or demeans those whom he does
not like. However, anyone’s personal likes and dislikes are not material to the
protection of his or her constitutional rights. If his personal liberty has
been unfairly violated, and he deserves to get bail, he should not be
arbitrarily kept in prison by the law enforcement machinery of a state
government with which he is at loggerheads.
It
was heartening for citizens to hear the clarion call of Justice D.Y.
Chandrachud: “If we as a constitutional court do not lay down the law and
protect liberty, then who will?” The message was clear. The highest court in
the land will intervene to protect personal liberty at any cost, list a case of
this nature with lightning speed, overrule the standard judicial procedures
like first pursuing a bail petition before the designated lower court, and hear
the petition even if means working on the weekend. This is also a good
thing.
However,
such heartening news may not have bought much hope to Father Stan Swamy, who is
languishing in Taloja jail in Navi Mumbai. The 83-year-old tribal rights
activist has been incarcerated since January 2018 for his alleged Maoist links
in the Elgar Parishad case. On November 6 this year, Swamy moved a petition
before the National Investigation Agency special court in which he asked for a
straw or a sipper cup in jail. “I cannot hold a glass as my hands are unsteady
due to Parkinson’s (disease)”, his petition said. He was asking not for big
things like personal liberty and freedom. His only request was for a sipper cup
or a paper straw so that he could drink water without spilling. A straw
or a sipper are not dangerous items, nor are they luxury items which prisoners
should not have. But that request does symbolise some things as important as
personal liberty, which the Supreme Court so vigilantly defended. It symbolises
a human being’s legitimate craving for dignity; of his supplication for
compassion; of his expectation of humane treatment; of his hope in a caring
system for those in deep medical distress. The special court judge who heard
this desperate petition simply asked the NIA to file its reply on the matter on
November 26.
For
20 days Father Stan Swamy will continue to wait with his trembling hands for a
straw or a sipper to be provided to him. The NIA will get twenty days to
consider whether such a request should be conceded to. And there is no
guarantee that when it does file its reply on November 26, it would accede to
the request. The legal position in the matter may require further deliberation.
The rules need to be checked out for “dangerous” prisoners. If these don’t
provide for a straw to be given to prisoners, how can an exception be made?
After all a sipper, that would enable an 83-year-old prisoner suffering from
advanced Parkinson’s disease to take a sip of water, could sabotage the
interests of the state.
Perhaps
the honourable Supreme Court could take suo motu cognisance of such matters as
well. Travesty of justice has many forms. In some cases, the rule book is
thrown at those deprived of personal liberty, who languish in prison for months
without bail. In others, matters are fast tracked at incredible speed, and the
judiciary makes public its unwavering commitment to protect personal liberty.
Perhaps, the highest court of the land will also then take steps to ensure that
the personal liberty of people like the octogenarian Varavara Rao, who has been
repeatedly denied bail, and not given permission to be admitted to hospital.
The 80-year-old poet, teacher and activist, who has been in jail without trial
since 2018, again for alleged Maoist links in the Elgar Parishad case, “was
found lying on a soiled bed soaked in urine with no one to attend to him”. His
health is extremely precarious; he has suffered deliriums in jail, where he
also contracted the Covid-19 virus. Perhaps the Supreme Court may also ask its
judicial subordinates why bail in the case of a pregnant Safoora Zargar,
arrested for participating in the protests against the Citizenship Amendment
Act, took as much as 70 days to be processed.
The
nation looks upon the Supreme Court, and the judiciary in general, as an agency
of the last resort to get justice. When the Supreme Court declares that it will
intervene proactively to ensure personal liberty, it raises, in the thousands
of prisoners who are for untenable and inhumane reasons being denied personal
liberty, the possibility of hope. Surely, the Government of India is not
so vulnerable that it treats people above the age of 80 who are nearly
disabled, as “enemies” who can destabilise the State. The administering of
justice should never be selective, or so lacking in humanity that it revolts
the human conscience. When Father Stan Swamy is given the freedom to drink
water with a semblance of dignity, we will believe that the Supreme Court’s
concern for Arnab Goswami has a larger meaning and a message for the conduct of
the judiciary as a whole.
