LITIGANTS WELFARE FORUM WHICH HAS JOINED THE LAWYERS CLUB OF INDIA TO BRING IN JUDICIAL REFORMS AND TO REMOVE JUDICIAL CORRUPTION, WHICH EVEN THE
MEDIA IS AFRAID TO ADDRESS, GIVES THE FOLLOWING SIX SUGGESTIONS FOR RESPONSE FROM THE LEARNED COMMUNITY HERE :-
(a) Nowhere in the world Judges appoint themselves. Therefore, how about Challenging the Collegiums decision of the SCI which has increased corruption
in the judiciary? I have already written to the CJI and other authorities in that
regard. Who is ready to join me or support me to file a comprehensive Constitutional Petition in the SCI before the present CJI?

(b) We have been fighting for establishing Supreme Court Benches in Bombay, Calcutta, Chennai and Bangalore since 1980. Several advocates, litigants, ex judges too have supported our demand. What is the opinion ofthousands of well-informed members here?
(c) Who is ready to help me to restore my Review/WP(C) no. 219 of 2007 on the Grave Irregularities in the Presidential and Vice Presidential Elections, which was dismissed arbitrarily by CJI KG Balakrishnan, who is now the Chairmanof NHRC.
(d) File a WP in the SCI to enforce removal of KGBalakrishnan as Chair of NHRC, as Corruption is the worst form of Human Rights Violation. My application for his removal made to the President of India can be a good peg to hang this PIL. Who is ready?
(e) There is a constitutional provision under article 124(3)(c) to appoint Jurists as Judges to the High Court and Supreme Court of India. This important provision has remained only on paper. I have written to the present CJI Sarosh Kapadia, with last reminder on Sept. 02, 2011.
(f) Finally, I do NOT agree with Anna Hazare Panel to make Judiciary part of Jan Lok Pal Bill. First the Jan Lok Pal bill NOT be passed and even if it is passed, it will be as useless as the RTI Act, which within 5 years is in coma. Only more bureaucracy, and no tangible results.
