Our nation will always remain indebted to the current Chief Justice of India NV Ramana for all his strenuous efforts to regain and restore the much needed independence of the Judiciary. His three immediate predecessors took the Judiciary to a point of disdain by compromising its very sanctity and Sovereignty.
Given the battered state of this pillar of hope, Justice Ramana, in the remaining ten months of his tenure, has an uphill task of battling a government that has set all out to erode judicial values. May he be bestowed with all the strength to take, head on, the powers that be in the noble mission of protecting and safeguarding our Temples of Justice.
It is imperative that every Judge across the nation dispenses justice without fear. The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and a judiciary which is truly independent. A judiciary that is accountable only to the Rule of Law while fiercely resisting even the faintest trace of governmental influence or interference. We owe this to ourselves for the greater good of our Nation.
