The Supreme Court has once again addressed the ‘merit versus reservation’ debate, a misleading binary that has engaged public and judicial discourse for years and noted that “reservation is not at odds with merit” in open competitive examinations. Recently, Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana made a plea to ‘Indianise’ courts to make them responsive to the needs of the Indian citizens. Despite good intentions, the nation’s judiciary is hurtling due to the pendency of cases in courts across the country. For the first time ever, the Supreme Court Collegium led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) recommended/selected as many as nine persons at one go to be appointed to the apex court. With the appointment of the judges, the highest court in the country having its near full strength will ease the pressure on it considerably. Justice N.V. Ramana was sworn in as the 48th Chief Justice of India (CJI) by President Ram Nath Kovind at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The Supreme Court recently said, it was a “very serious” matter if three crore ration cards have been cancelled, including those of tribals and the poor, solely because they could not be biometrically linked with Aadhaar. Attorney General of India has given consent to initiate contempt proceedings against comic artist for her tweets on Supreme Court. Supreme Court Bench headed by Chief Justice of India S A Bobde observed that it is trying to discourage individuals from filing petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution.

सुशासन अभियानद्वारा प्रधानन्यायाधीश राणाको राजीनामा माग पूर्वडिआइजी रमेश खरेल नेतृत्वको हाम्रो नेपाल सुशासन अभियानले प्रधानन्यायाधीश चोलेन्द्र शमशेर राणाको राजीनामा माग गरेको छ। सशस्त्र प्रहरीका पूर्वडिआइजी रञ्जन कोइरालालाई पत्नी हत्यामा सजाय कटौती गरेपछि विवादमा परेको न्यायालयको गरिमा जोगाउन प्रधानन्यायाधीशले राजीनामा दिनुपर्ने अभियानको माग छ। ‘न्यायालय र त्यसमा पनि प्रधानन्यायाधीश सम्मिलित इजलासले गरेको यसप्रकारको फैसलाले न्यायालयको विश्वास, गरिमा र सम्मानलाई नराम्ररी अवमूल्यन गरेको छ, न्याय क्षेत्रलाई गम्भीर संकटमा पुर्याएको महसुस भएको छ,’ अभियानद्वारा आइतबार जारी विज्ञप्तिमा भनिएको छ, ‘अदालतका निर्णय विवादमा पर्नु र जनताले नरुचाउने हुनु राम्रो संकेत हैन, यस अवस्थाबाट माथि उठी जनविश्वास बचाउन प्रधानन्यायाधीले राजीनामा दिने विकल्प उपयुक्त हुनसक्छ। त्यो नभए संसदले विचार गर्नुपर्ने जनआकांक्षा र चासोलाई कम मूल्यांकन गर्न नहुने हाम्रो धारणा हो।’ कोइरालाको सजाय कटौती फैसलाविरूद्ध महान्यायाधीवक्ता कार्यालयले सर्वोच्चमा पुनरावलोकन निवेदन दिइसकेको छ। सो निवेदनमा आइतबार नै सुनुवाइ सुरू भएको छ।
