Justice Ranjan Gogoi's call for 'revolution' reiterates need to fix structural, social defects in Indian judiciary

Firstpost  

Justice Ranjan Gogoi’s recently reiterated his concerns about democracy and the freedom of judiciary saying that ‘independent journalists and noisy judges are needed to defend democracy’ Social change and judicial reform are interconnected. While these were considered as indications of failure of the judiciary and threat to fair administration of justice, Justice Ranjan Gogoi’s speech at the ‘Third Ramnath Goenka Lecture’ reiterating his concerns about democracy gains more importance for the reason that he has raised these issues a second time, the first one being the press meet in early 2018 where Gogoi had voiced his opinion along with three other senior judges of the Supreme Court. In that press meet, for the first time ever in the Indian judicial history four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court, justices Jasti Chelameswar, Kurian Joseph, Ranjan Gogoi and Madan Lokur expressed their displeasure with the Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra and complained about the manner in which cases were being assigned to benches while highlighting the mysterious death case of Justice Loya and the medical college admissions scam case. Hence, during a time when the judiciary is wielded as a tool to execute and implement the whims and fancies of the government, as Justice Ranjan Gogoi said “even independent journalists and noisy judges are needed to defend democracy” but how could they do it without dealing with the discriminatory structure that the judicial system itself is constructed upon?
