The mere fact that the convicted politician has appealed against his conviction does not imply that he would continue to hold office “ <br />So , what will the Government do now ?<br />With solid , unanimous backing from ALL political parties , it will amend the Representation of People Act , to nullify the Court verdict !<br />Of Course , retrospectively from 15 Aug 1947 !<br />I am not surprised , given the following statistics compiled by Association for Democratic Reforms :----<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Party ……………% age of MPs/MLAs with criminal charges<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />BJP………………………. 31<br />Congress…………….. 22<br />NCP……………………….30<br />Shiv Sena……………. 75<br />RJD…………………………46<br />JD(U)………………….. 44<br />SP………………………. 43<br />Rest …………………….. 32-36<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Not having voted for past 30 years , I have a satisfaction of not having chosen myself , which party will torment / torture / murder me for next 5 years !<br />But of course , I will vote when I am allowed to cast “ Negative Votes “ !<br />When will India’s youth rise in revolt ?<br /><br />• hemen parekh<br />hcpblogs@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990664448436218789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-21014307717230172152013-07-28T20:47:07.540+05:302013-07-28T20:47:07.540+05:30The Constitution of India, like all other constitu...The Constitution of India, like all other constitutions in the world, is a document that not only owes its origin to socio-political events in the past, but is also meant to shape them in future. Had the Supreme Court not ventured beyond the text, Keshavananda Bharati would not have been possible---nor the events that shaped the country's democratic future. Sir, your own judgment in Aruna Shaunbagh was progressively activist, and the decision in Baldev Singh v. State of Punjab was definitely a big vault over many statutory provisions. Confronting the systemic malady of criminalization of India's political system is urgent need of the hour and if the Parliament doesn't deal with it , why not the judiciary--that has a rich history of such path-breaking judgments from time to time?<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191352305018815222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-43707147462890793422013-07-27T13:12:33.760+05:302013-07-27T13:12:33.760+05:30Sir,I would prefer middle path between your view a...Sir,I would prefer middle path between your view and the view of Hon'ble Supreme court in first judgement you have written about. I would say that instead of declaring section 8 (4) of the Representation of the People, 1951 as unconstitutional court could have passed a mandate that the appeal or applications pertain to the sentence or conviction should be disposed of within 1 month or any reasonable time period as court deems fit. In respect of second judgement you have stated I would say that the second judgement may be a result of first judgment(abovesaid) because even if both the cases have been decided one after other or simultaneously judges do discuss crucial matters with their colleagues hence there is strong likelihood that first drastic decision might have resulted in second venturous decision of court.

But as for the ruling perse, I feel is welcome relief where criminals and convicts have usurped legislatures at will.<br /><br />As for the caste rally , the courts ruling is against the very right provided by the constitution to assemble freely, but I feel serious discussions must be rendered before we agree upon banning caste based rallies. They do become a bulwark for polarisation. That too has to be taken into consideration. Don't you think so?anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-38852670660434516182013-07-17T12:47:56.895+05:302013-07-17T12:47:56.895+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-7374789797135497782013-07-17T12:31:55.045+05:302013-07-17T12:31:55.045+05:30Justice Katju, In one way you do not support the c...Justice Katju, In one way you do not support the casteism and other way you do defend the caste based rallies by different political parties with referencing the fundamental right in article 19 1 b. How about parties like Mayawati who address such rallies in UP and say- "Tilak Taraju or talwaat, Inko maaro jute chaar". How do you make law to stop people for dividing people based on caste? Some one ( Court ) in this case has to start from somewhere. Other India will be divided on these lines of hatred for next 1000 years.Pradeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212343957154151349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720071062570496465.post-62286873356701316002013-07-17T11:37:35.631+05:302013-07-17T11:37:35.631+05:30I do not have knowledge of law but your article fo...I do not have knowledge of law but your article focuses on some of the key factors of legal procedures.
