January 15, 2025 at 5:27 pmI’m currently interning under a Supreme Court judge in India, and I’ve noticed something that’s been bothering me. In the judge’s office, there are around 18 pictures of him with Modi, which makes up about 80% of the total pictures on display. Additionally, this judge was appointed by the government.I can’t help but feel like this blurs the lines between the judiciary and the legislature. It seems like the judge has an apparent inclination towards a particular political figure and a set ideology (which you can make out by his judgements and speeches), and he’s not hesitant to showcase it. This makes me wonder about the impartiality that’s expected from someone in such a crucial position.
Am I overthinking this? Or is there a legitimate concern here about the independence of the judiciary being compromised or perceived as compromised?
Also not a lawyer YET lol

January 16, 2025 at 4:17 amJudges are appointed by collegium but government has pocket veto. They can just sit on the file.Recently all the appointments are made which were from government.

January 16, 2025 at 11:54 amJudges office located at his residence, some personal some from function, the speeches the judge has made are very problematic, the judgments show a clear bias.
Also i know they are subject to approval from the government. But he was not recommended by the collegium but the government itself-

January 15, 2025 at 5:58 pmHaving an inclination or not towards a certain political ideology does not necessarily warrant an inference that their decision would also be reflecting the same. At the end they’re a human as well, and you can’t just stay in the absolute middle of all the things and have a neutral opinion about everything.-

January 16, 2025 at 1:45 pmThe job description of judgeship is not to be partial in their verdicts. I don’t think it’s about having 0 opinions and interests about anything in their life.-

January 16, 2025 at 6:00 amLol if you think this happened recently. Indian judiciary never deserved respect. Most of them are extremely corrupt and entitled, especially in lower courts.Supreme court might have started this recently but high courts and lower courts are extremely useless for common people

January 16, 2025 at 5:53 amI think each individual has a certain ideology. So even judges abide by those ideologies as a human. Those ideologies may reflect on their profession also. These ideologies makes any person closer to certain affiliations that promote or cater to those ideologies, after all it’s human nature. Of course these ideologies are reflected in the persons’ day to day lives, so it may reflect on their professional front also. -
