It refers to justified protests by Sikkim lawyers on transferring Justice P D Dinakaran to Sikkim High Court. It is insulting for Sikkim that this Indian state is recognised by Indian Judicial System as kaala paani for penal-transfers.
IT REFERS to justified protests by Sikkim lawyers on transferring Justice P D Dinakaran to Sikkim High Court. It is insulting for Sikkim that this Indian state is recognised by Indian Judicial System as kaala paani for penal-transfer of High Court judges. If a judge is found guilty, he/she should be removed from the post rather than punishing Sikkim with tainted judges.
According to reports, out of total about 2.5 crore criminal cases pending in trial courts of the country with UP leading with 48 lakh cases, Sikkim has just about 800 criminal cases pending in trial courts.
Likewise out of total about 75 lakh civil cases pending in country’s trial courts with UP again leading with 13 lakh pending cases, Sikkim is the most fortunate state to have just about 30 pending civil cases in trial courts.
Low figures of court-cases in Sikkim make Sikkim High Court to be country’s least burdened High Court with negligible work-load as compared to all other High Courts. It is better to merge Sikkim High Court with a High Court in some neighbouring state rather than making Sikkim High Court as dumping ground for tainted judges. However a single-judge bench of the High Court of merger can be kept in capital city of Sikkim initially.
