By Not Standing Up For Justice S Muralidhar, Supreme Court Collegium Fails Yet Another Independent Judge

A judge, who is erudite and independent, who doesn’t hesitate to act urgently to protect the lives of ordinary citizens in moments of danger and is fearless in taking a bold stand against State excesses and inactions, who is held in high esteem by the legal fraternity, certainly deserves to be in the Supreme Court, right?

The Elgar Parishad 16 Must Not Be Forgotten

The case represents what the government can do to well-meaning people who speak up against atrocities, and who stand up for the weak and dispossessed. For this reason alone, they are seen as enemies of the state and kept in prison for as long as the government can manage, writes Aakar Patel.

On the road to 2047, the state of our democracy cannot be a distant concern

Even as our society and nation lurch towards a future in which even the rudimentary semblances of democracy and decency are defied, we are increasingly witness to a shrinking support base of persons who can struggle and assert the need for these indispensable norms.

Why Courts Are Ignoring Concerns Of Planted Evidence In The Bhima-Koregaon Prosecution

Independent forensic experts have raised concerns of evidence being planted in the ongoing Bhima-Koregaon prosecution (ongoing for 45 months, with not even charges framed yet). But India’s tightly regulated criminal process severely restricts the right of accused persons to introduce new material. It speaks to many important concerns for the state, such as speedy trial, but a general rule that brooks no exception does more harm than good.
