Appointment of a former CJI as Governor. Does it improve the status of the Governor or lower the status of judiciary?
It is quite ironical or surprising that a former Chief Justice of India has accepted the post of Governor at a time when the status of the constitutional post has touched upon its nadir. The present day Governors are treated like ‘clerks’ in central secretariat, who continues at the pleasure of their new political masters. Among the post of Governors, again there is a classification, Governor posts in bigger States are used always for political rehabilitation of veteran politicians who are not required in Delhi power circles. According me a ‘farmer former CJI’ commands far more respect than a Governor of a federal State, who’s job is always at the will of the ‘Political Master’.
