Today, Caption of a Virat Ship called Judiciary is changing, namely by judge named Justice JS Khehar.
It makes a whole of difference to everyone on the ship and their families. His one wrong decision can sink the ship. His one right decision can move ship to better lands, better foods, better safety.
He has to protect us from pirates and typhoons at sea.
He is our Nakhuda(Next to God).
As I understand, he has lived on farms. He has toiled lands with his own hands. He he has seen tyrannical rules in South Africa until he was in seventh standard.
In eigthth standard, his family came to India. He is among those shikhs where "Pride and Self Respect still matters."
One subject nearest to his heart is to improve standards in Legal profession.
This subject alone, if he gives close attentions, will earn him blessings of silent majority of good Lawyers for many many years to come.
.
At present, true advocates, true ethical Advocates have no say in elected system of Bar Regulating bodies.
Fee standardisation rules for Junior Lawyers, legal aid allotment of cases to fresh junior lady Lawyers , speedy procedures for removal of unethical Lawyers, website publishing names and code of all Lawyers of India, publishing list of Lawyers against whom actions are pending, pension funds for Lawyers are some the avenues requiring reform.
All Supreme Court Juddge stay for a few years in Supreme Court. Very few have agenda of reforming Bar.
Now, there are hopes. Let us keep our fingers crossed and pray to God.
