Chief Justice of the Sikkim High Court, Justice Dinakaran has been charged with 16 acts of corruption by a Rajya Sabha panel. Some of the charges are so serious they would do credit to a mobster. They include - illegal encroachment on public property and land belonging to Dalit and other weaker sections, 5 Tamil Nadu Housing Board plots in favor of his wife and two daughters, destruction of evidence, undervaluation of sale agreements, evasion of stamp duty and illegal constructions, and resorting to irregular and dishonest administrative actions by fixing rosters of judges to facilitate dishonest judicial decisions while he was Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. What does " fixing rosters of judges to facilitate dishonest judicial decisions " mean? Does it mean that he knew which judges could be induced to pronounce deliberately wrong decisions or, in other words, were crooks? That surely means that a substantial number of judges are corrupt which, in turn, prompts more appeals to the Supreme Court which is already overloaded. A bench of the Supreme Court has said, " No government wants a strong judiciary." ( Times of India, February 13, 2011 ). This remark came in a phone tapping case that has been so delayed by adjournments that only one witness has been examined in last 4 years. But surely judges preside over their courts and can refuse unnecessary adjournments, a ploy to waste time by unscrupulous lawyers. Judges want higher salaries, more judges, better courts and better facilities but that will not stop lawyers from asking for a case to be adjourned. Delays help criminals. Stop hand wringing, do something.
