you have no idea about current situation, right? Do you know how many vacancies are there in High court and lower courts beco these judges are waiting for their rishtedaars to complete LLB or LLM? You cry nepotism in BW but nepotism in judiciary is far worse. And you know politicians are not the one who are suffering from this, it is common junta who is really victim. Our judiciary is equally corrupt. NJAC is not giving power to politicians. It will regulate it in better way. These judges are far more corrupt. Atleast politicians ke karnaame report toh kiye jaate h, judges ke against bolo koi, contempt of court daal ke puri zindagi haraam na kar de toh dekho. Upar se sab badiya lagta h. Andar se journalists, judiciary, and politicians are equally corrupt.
I don't deny that there's corruption in the judiciary. Or that there's an urgent need for more judges.However in my opinion NJAC is not the solution simply because no political party can be trusted to keep from interfering. Would any criminal politicians even be sentenced? The impartiality of the Judiciary would be lost.I'd rather have fewer judges rather than political appointees any day. Or any other form of interference. Remember the governmental shenanigans to keep out Justice K.M Joseph from being appointed as a Supreme Court Judge.You can expect that and more political interference if the Judiciary's powers are curtailed. As for nepotism , is there any profession without it? Every society tries to push the newcomers out and keep the plum positions for their own offspring.You learn to work the system and better your position (if possible) rather than whine about it. Or keep your tears to the minimum and move on.Anybody who's been on the other end knows how heartbreaking it is. What's more common is that the so-called 'self-made' men and women become part of the system and the cycle goes on.
