Book launch: [In] Complete Justice ? The Supreme Court at 75

Justice AS Oka to speak shortly

Editor of the Book, Sr Adv Dr S Muralidhar: Earlier there was a court of virtual hearings, courts willing to adopt the technological mode...What I miss is a court with It's a more rushed court, more chaotic, more miscellaneous work and new players are law researchers and law interns. One law researcher was asked to draft two drafts of judgments one allowing and one dismissing the appeal... For Milord to choose fromImage
Justice AS Oka: Cartoons speak more than the reading material in this book. Celebrations started after we completed 75 years of constitution.. for legal fraternity celebration was not required.. introspection was needed as to where the course correction was needed. Image
Justice Oka: The biggest mistake we did was to ignore the trial judiciary on such platforms for over 75 years and we discussed only Supreme Court and High Court. I agree with Sr Adv Jaising when she says that it is a myth that woman judges address best the issues faced by woman. I believe this book triggers a debate which is required. .. Do we have judges anymore who tells their wife that my dissent will cost my Chief Justiceship. Another facet which needs to be looked at is the case listings.. if we spend 6 hours in reading files everyday and then on cases, how do we deliver judgments?
