UNION MINISTER for Law & Justice should be complimented for being sensitive to plight of judicial victims. The Union government has now put on priority to legislate The Judicial Standards & Accountability Bill 2010 which apart from other aspects, will give legal value to conduct-code for judges apart from providing citizens to file complaints against judges of higher courts.
Union government should constitute a full-time National Judicial Commission with retired Supreme court judges as member-nominees of the President, Prime Minister, Opposition-Leader, Chief Justice of India and Bar Council of India with Central Vigilance Commission as ex-officio member to clear all appointments in higher judiciary and also at judicial commissions/panels formed from time to time by Union and state governments. It will tend to remove all apprehensions of judiciary about any possible interference in judicial system by legislature.
All High Court judges must be compulsorily from outside their home-states to avoid influence through relations and former bar-colleagues. Also, retirement-age of High Courts judges may be raised to 65 years for being at par with that of Supreme Court judges to take care of natural and normal human desire amongst judges of High Courts to be elevated to Supreme Court for availing maximum tenure in judicial-service which is till 65-years of age but only at Supreme Court.
