Gang Of Four

We normally don’t criticise judges. We normally don’t question their judgement or wisdom. We obey the simple rule “Do not judge the judges”, after all, through our democratic processes; we are the ones who put them there. We also fear being hauled up for contempt of court and being dumped in the cooler for incurring the wrath of some judge. But what happened on January 12 was neither in a court nor a judgement on any case. Four SC judges — Justices J. Chelameswar, Kurian Joseph, Ranjan Gogoi and Madan Lokur ran to the Press to whine about something. Even Darth Vader wouldn’t know what exactly their grievance was and what they wanted to whine about. Such a thing is unheard of – Judges running to media, and it is against the code of conduct for judges. To avoid mentioning their names repeatedly, I will just refer to the four as “CKRM” being initials of their names.

CKRM came out, chaperoned by known Congi footsies like Shekhar Gupta and Indira Jaising, to whine with the media. Normally, a journalist would be in front of the speakers to listen or ask questions. Only a Congi pimp like Gupta would be standing behind the speakers and fiddling around. I wonder what he was doing. At first, I dismissed it as accidental “positioning” but then doubt gave way to confirmation that this was an “Organised act with political motives”. What troubles me? What bothers me the most? Earlier we were aware of the Sickular politico-media complex. Now we are introduced to a judiciary-media complex. And I consider this a dangerous development:

Still, if there was dirty linen to be washed in public, one would have loved to know what the real grievances of the “Gang of four” were. They didn’t really say anything specific other than that they have written a letter to the CJI, Justice Dipak Mishra. I had watched the whole presser LIVE and I didn’t find them saying anything at all. Some prodded them on the issue of the death of Judge BH Loya and in whispered tones some judge concurred. But that cannot be any reason for this revolt. Evidently, this “orchestrated” presser was a political action choreographed by none other than Congis and their stooges. How much more evidence would you want when the Congi bootlickers sing in a chorus? Here you go – all the Congi Pigs singing “Ooh la la la.. Let’s go dancing”:

Among other things, it seemed that the Gang of Four was unhappy with the kind of cases they were getting to try. It’s like a salesman in a company complaining “You gave me Siliguri but you gave the other guy Coimbatore”. Seriously, judges have any right or prerogative to decide what kind cases they should get? NO! NONE WHATSOEVER! It is completely up to the discretion of the CJI to assign cases to any judge or bench he considers appropriate. Judges cannot be choosers. The moment judges start lobbying over which cases they should get, then it betrays a vested interest and a window for inevitable injustice. 

And as soon as this “choreographed” episode unfolded, the Congis were among the first to kick and scream about democracy and judiciary and Gabbar Singh’s daughter-in-law suffering from injustice from ModiSarkar which had nothing to do with this nonsense. I have to remind readers once more that Congis are the greatest enemies of judiciary and courts. From Nehru to Sonia and to Pappu, they have a history of disrespect for judiciary and of overturning verdicts of courts – including imposing Emergency because IndiraG was not willing to accept the Allahabad HC verdict:

Having organised and executed this revolt by the Gang of Four, we had an extraordinary spectacle. We had Justice C meeting Daniel Raja, a worthless politician who is in RS only because of crumbs of TN parties, and we are asked to believe there is nothing political about this. Raja goes to meet C through the “Exit” gate of his residence so that he’s not caught by the media. But in this day and age of mobile cameras there is always someone lurking around somewhere to catch you peeing on the “No parking” sign. Raja was similarly caught by a camera leaving C’s residence with a warm hand-shake. If you wanted to meet your “long-time” friend as Raja claimed, why would you go to his residence through the exit gate? Good you did, because this meeting exposed the entire clandestine operation of the Presser of the Gang of Four and the political motives behind it.

So what the problem is? Some like the C5M Sagarika Ghose want to agitate over the death of Judge BJ Loya claiming it is some kind of conspiracy and mysterious death. It has long been established there was nothing mysterious about Loya’s death and even his son has trashed the Caravan magazine’s claims which raked up the issue. Here’s a final excerpt from Loya’s son in a tweet that rubbishes all conspiracy claims:

I have to say the Congis got their act completely wrong and the revolt by the Gang of Four had nothing to do with assignment of cases or who will hear what PIL. It is not about Judge Loya’s death or the Aadhar issue or the “Roster” crap that lawyers like Prashant Bhushan are peddling. Entitlement morons like Indira Jaising claim they have the “Right” to be present at the Presser as citizens. No you don’t, but your presence confirms you are part of a conspiracy. The source code of this “organised revolt” is nothing but the Ram Janmabhoomi issue. The CJI had snubbed Kapil Sibal over the latter’s demand to postpone the hearing after LS2019 elections because it would politically damage the Sickulars. And just like Commie Raja, his Commie Pigsty dweller Prakash Karat let out on Republic TV that he wants some of the Gang of Four on the Bench that hears the Ayodhya case:

So now the Commie Pigs will even demand which judges they want on which Bench and on which cases. Fantastic! Every SC judge, whether junior or senior, comes with a substantial load of experience and it is to avoid prejudices and biases that we have a “Bench” rather than an individual judge. With almost less than 1% of representation, these Commies keep demanding their way of life. Their kind of justice and life belongs in a garbage can and not in public discourse. Every media crook that has stood up for the Gang of Four is a Commie and that says a lot about the whole orchestrated rebellion for no reason or rhyme.

And what does it say about the character of CKRM? You guys will adjudicate disputes and offer justice on millions of disputes in this country and yet, you are incapable of solving your own problems in-house? I have long said “Winners are busy doing business, Losers run to the media”. And that is an indisputable fact. Only the corrupt run to the media in fake victimhood and defence. The Gang of Four has demonstrated they cannot continue as judges anymore. Imagine four senior managers having grievances against the MD of a company running to the media to complain about him. What would happen to them? THEY WOULD BE SACKED INSTANTLY. I don’t see how this Gang of Four can preside over the destiny of many litigants with their biases, prejudices and political persuasions. We cannot trust them anymore. They should be impeached and sacked. Period!

As for the Supreme Court... Yes, there is a desperate need for reform. The CJI may be no angel but this is no way to settle differences within the SC. Judges cannot appoint themselves. GOI must strongly take up the NJAC again and implement it. Justice Gogoi was line to be the next CJI. He should be superseded because he has violated the code of conduct for judges. This is misdemeanour that cannot be reward with a higher position. The SC is not the Congress party where abject failures are promoted. Also, this Collegium crap is unconstitutional. I hope ModiSarkar finds the courage to restore the image and trustworthiness of the SC. The Gang of Four should honourably resign and continue their political career with some political party.
