CJI: No foresight in drafting law clogs courts, Bihar prohibition is example

The Chief Justice of India, NV Ramana, cited Bihar’s ban on Sunday as an example of the “lack of vision” in drafting legislation, causing the courts to be flooded with cases, and said that the legislature appeared to “underutilize” the parliamentary standing committee system. “Strengthen the review of the bill.”

“I hope this will change, because such review improves the quality of legislation,” CJI Ramana said at the Fifth Late Shri Lavu Venkateswarlu Donation Lecture on “Indian Justice: Challenges for the Future” at Siddhartha Law School in Vijayawada.

In his speech, CJI also defended the judicial system, because the Collegium system of judges appointing judges is equivalent to the appointment of judges, calling it “one of the widely circulated myths.” Speaking of the lack of well-thought-out legislation, CJI stated that “there is usually no impact assessment or basic review of constitutionality before the legislation is passed.”
“Lack of vision in legislation will directly lead to court blockage. For example, the introduction of the Bihar Prohibition Order in 2016 caused the High Court to be blocked by bail applications. Therefore, a simple bail application can take a year to be processed,” he Say.

Emphasizing the importance of debate in legislation, CJI said: “Imperfect laws have led to a surge in litigation. A proposed law can only be improved through the participation of all stakeholders and meaningful debate. Parliament introduced it in the 1990s. An extraordinary mechanism to strengthen the review of the bill-the review of the Standing Committee. However, the legislature does not seem to be able to make full use of the committee system.”

When talking about the choice of judges, CJI Ramana said, “It has become a fashion to reiterate phrases such as ‘the judge appoints the judge himself’.”

“I think this is one of the widely circulated myths. In fact, the judiciary is only one of the many participants involved in the process. Many authorities are involved, including the federal law department, state governments, governors, high court colleges, intelligence The bureau, and finally the top executives, are all appointed to review the suitability of candidates. I regret to note that the above concepts are also spread by well-informed people. After all, this narrative fits certain parts,” he said.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
