There can be no dispute that the judges of the high courts and Supreme Court of India wield tremendous powers. However, power comes with a price which bestows huge responsibility. Building on this narrative, the book argues that judges must be made accountable not only in respect of their personal conduct and integrity, but also in respect of the judicial verdicts they deliver.
This book critically discusses Articles 141, 142, and 144, which make
the Supreme Court the most powerful institution in the country, and
Articles 32 and 136, which also confer wide powers on it. Using these
powers, the apex court sometimes, unmindful of the budgetary and other
vital implications, tends to pass orders which lack the scope for
implementation. The book suggests measures to improve the functioning of
Indian judicial system and strengthen the integrity, independence, and impartiality of the institution of justice.
