It is with some degree of satisfaction that I read this morning that the BJP would introduce the Judges Appointment Bill in this session of parliament itself.
It is also satisfying to note that it has decided to take the more arduous route of constitutional amendment (in joint session, hopefully) so that the judiciary would not be able to strike it down, rather than mere amendment of law.
However, it would be greatly more relevant if alongwith that Bill, the judgement whereby the judges gave themselves immunity from criminal investigation-prosecution, is also repealed (just like the Single Point Directive).
It would also be of great benefit to humanity, if it is specifically lawed that the judges acting illegally and / or not acting legally will not be under any protection whatsoever.
It would be greatly helpful too, if the number of SC judges is increase to at least 40 immediately, and then to 50 and 60 within a year or two.
Finally, not only must the Bill be introduced, but it must also be passed and Gazetted in this session itself.
