Notice of Motion for Presenting an Address to the President of India for the Removal of Mr
1 NOTICE OF MOTION FOR PRESENTING AN ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA FOR THE REMOVAL OF MR. JUSTICE DIPAK MISRA, CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA, UNDER ARTICLE 217 READ WITH 124 (4) OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA THIS HOUSE RESOLVES that an address be presented to the President of India for the removal of Mr. Justice Dipak Misra, from the office of Chief Justice of India, for his following acts of misbehaviour, detailed in the Explanatory Note annexed herewith: I. The facts and circumstances relating to the Prasad Education Trust case, show prima facie evidence suggesting that Chief Justice Dipak Misra may have been involved in the conspiracy of paying illegal gratification in the case, which at least warrants a thorough investigation. II. That the Chief Justice Dipak Misra dealt on the administrative as well as judicial side, with a writ petition which sought an investigation into a matter in which he too was likely to fall within the scope of investigation since he had presided over every bench which had dealt with this case and passed orders in the case of Prasad Education Trust, and thus violated the first principle of the Code of Conduct for judges. III. That the Chief Justice Dipak Misra appears to have antedated an administrative order dated 6th November 2017 which amounts to a serious act of forgery/fabrication. IV. That Chief Justice Dipak Misra acquired land while he was an advocate, by giving an affidavit that was found to be false and despite the orders of the ADM cancelling the allotment in 1985, surrendered the said land only in 2012 after he was elevated to the Supreme Court.

Metoo in India: What's Next
Joshi | #MeToo in India: What's Next #MeToo in India: What's Next Shareen Joshi Last October, India was swept by the winds of the #MeToo movement. The first move came from the Indian film industry, when Tanushree Dutta, a prominent Indian actress, accused Nana Patekar, an established actor and filmmaker, of sexual harassment on the set of a movie in 2008. Days later, journalist Priya Ramani accused M.J. Akbar, a leading government minister, of sexual harassment. These moves opened the floodgates for many other women working in the Indian film industry, media, government, private sector, and academia. The movement had some immediate impacts. Nana Patekar was removed from his latest movie, M.J. Akbar resigned, and a wave of other resignations and boycotts followed. Since then, however, the winds have calmed. Many of the accused have marshalled legal, financial, and government resources to protect themselves. Nana Patekar, who had denied the charges, issued a legal notice to Tanushree Dutta to withdraw her allegations. Dutta has also been accused of placing a “curse” on others who she named as enablers of her alleged abuse. M.J. Akbar has accused Priya Ramani of defamation. Actor Alok Nath, who is on trial for the alleged rape of writer-producer Vinta Nanda, will star in a new movie entitled #MainBhi (a Hindi translation of #MeToo), in which he will play a judge who takes a strong stand against sexual harassment in Indian society.1 The arrival of the #MeToo moment was not a huge surprise. India is one of the most gender unequal societies in the world.

Judicial Independence and Impartiality: a Sinking Belief Naveed Naseem 1 Shaista Qayoom 2
INDIAN JOURNAL OF LAW AND JUSTICE Judicial Independence and Impartiality: A Sinking Belief Naveed Naseem 1 Shaista Qayoom 2 Abstract For efficient working of a republican setup rooted totally on Rule of law, an unbiased and impartial judiciary is indispensable. The percept of judicial independence and impartiality has brought greater significance in the countries with written constitutions, where the executive has been conferred with wide authority to sprint the government and the likelihood of abuse of such power is considerably high. In a country like India where judiciary is regarded as the watchdog of democracy, it undoubtedly becomes essential that judges in their individual capacities and the judiciary as a whole are unbiased and neutral of all interior and exterior influences in order to guard and shield the philosophical and conceptual phrases used in the preamble of the Indian Constitution. Besides, an impartial and independent choice mechanism is a sure safeguard for ensuring that persons with dubious integrity do not occupy high judicial offices, thereby enhancing public’s have faith and self assurance in justice delivery mechanism of the country. Considering the significance which an unelected judiciary wheels in our system, the screening of judges to man the superior courts cannot be confined to mere technical and professional competence and their approaches and philosophies have to be screened extensively. The paper attempts to reflect the significance adhered to the principle of independent and impartial judiciary and the urgency to defend and hold such standards earlier than its dimensions turn into just indistinct and academic concepts. The continuous government stalling in the appointment of judges to the Superior Courts, nominating judges to political offices and occasionally unscrupulous conduct by some judges in the recent past, where judiciary on most part seemed to side with the executive, has raised questions on independent and impartial identity of judiciary.
