Judicial Employee suspended for failing to make Fish Curry for Judge

Sometime back, I have gone through a judgement by our supreme court in which Hon'ble court has been pleased to observe "Judiciary is the repository of people's faith, last hope, last ray". The court further been pleased to observe the temple of justice may not crack from inside. Few days back, I have gone through a page clipping, published in Times of India, New Delhi edition, dated January 4th, 2013 under caption "Court Staffer suspended for failing to make fish curry?" Unfortunate and shameful on the part of a judge. It is also unfortunate, when the matter has been ignited by a public spirited lawyer before the High Court of Madras, the court has been pleased to dismiss the petition at the stage of admission itself, and pointed out that the affected employee had not chosen to bring the matter to the court.

This is the state of affairs in the subordinate judiciary of Tamil Nadu.

I hope, expect and trust, Hon'ble the chief justice, Madras high court will kindly look into the matter in the right perspective and direct the unbridled judges to behave like public servants and like a judge.

Views/comments solicited so that misery of poor employee may be discussed and such ugly scene may not occur with others. I remember, Dr. Justice RK Laxmanan, formal judge, Supreme court of India, who wrote regarding behavioral approach of judges towards their subordinate employees in his book "Voice of Justice".

So far, district of Giridih is concerned, as a legal aid worker, I want to suggest the state authority, please select the site of Nyaya Sadan, in the old jail, already vacated by Jail Department, near Civil Courts and Office of the Deputy Commissioner or the premises occupied by the DSP's in front of DC Office is very much proper for Nyaya Sadan.

Nyaya Sadan is a central secretariat for legal aid programs and a very important office so, it requires proper selection of place. So that people in distress may contact the authorities without any hindrance and obstructions.

Functioning of suborinate judicial courts in jharkhand.

I am quoting few lines of order passed by Jharkhand High Court while hearinig A.B.P.No.840/2003 on 26.08.2003"It being detected that regular bails are rejected unmerited rejection of regular bails is as bad as bad as unmertted grants of such bails".The increasing number of Anticipatory bail applications is unnecessary burdning the High Court,if this plea of Advocates that even in meritted cases regular bails are not being granted by the lower courts is correct,then it requires dygnosis and treatment it is not good for thar reasons,the poor litigants should not move the High Court of the state on heavy cost. The Court further observed "This is very peculiar state of affair when the learned courts below are not discharging legal duties accrding to law consiquently,there is a great rush to High Court,even though in such cases,in ordinary course,the bail should be granted by the lower courts."The is to see that all the courts state do the funtion and funtion with responsibility and accrding to law.The lower courts should realize this legal situation,lest they invite certain displeasure oh this court" The bench further been pleasad to direct the registry to place ordre before Hon'ble the chief justice for information regarding the funtioning of subordinate courts in the state.This order was circulated by the Registry to the lower courts but nothing has been changed.Who will get it implemented?
