There was an uproar in the corridors of Indian Judiciary, Election Commission and active politics of the country when senior advocate and MP Mahesh Jethmalani presented a big and sensational claim. Recent statements made by former Supreme Court judge, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, current Chief Justice Surya Kant and issues related to the Special Investigation Report (SIR) have created a stir in legal and political circles. After this revelation, it has become the biggest topic of discussion from the Supreme Court of the country to the administrative corridors as to what is going on around the judicial system and electoral institutions.
Questions raised on senior lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani’s claims and CJP’s connection
Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, through his statements and points raised on social media, has raised the question as to how the connections of some organizations and individuals active inside and outside the judiciary are connected. Questioning the activities of CJP and its main faces like Saurav Das, he has tried to know what kind of support or ideological background such organizations are getting. This claim of Jethmalani has given a new twist to the ongoing debates in the name of judicial accountability and activism, which has sparked a long debate for and against even among legal experts.
Judiciary’s stance amid CJI Surya Kant’s strictness and BCI controversy
On the other hand, the bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant has adopted a very strict and clear stand in the matters related to the Bar Council of India (BCI) and universities. Recently, on the way questions are being raised on the functioning of the courts and administrative decisions, the Supreme Court has tried to give the message that the court will not remain a mute spectator on the violation of judicial autonomy and rights of students or citizens. The tough decisions being taken under the leadership of CJI Surya Kant are testimony to the fact that the judiciary is fully committed to maintaining its dignity and independence, no matter what kind of pressure or claims are being made on it from external forums.
Politics heated up over Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and SIR process
In this period of controversies, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and the functioning of the Election Commission have also been continuously targeted by the opposition and various organizations. Protests and demands for resignation are being raised continuously by organizations like CJP regarding the processes related to SIR and electoral reforms. Although the Election Commission has always cited its impartiality and constitutional responsibilities, the way political parties and activists have made it a large-scale issue, there are chances of further deepening of the conflict on the administrative and electoral front in the coming days.
