LR-44 Advice to a student desiring to file PIL about injustice in school/college

Dear Student,

This is about your desire to file PIL in High Court about injustice meeted out to students on campus.

In my view, students should not enter in such disputes. They suffer backlash at time of exam results. They get poor marks in Exam as per what I have heard.

2) Anyway, even if you wish to file PIL,  you have to first find out which law, which circular or which resolution of Govt is violated by school/college authorities. 

Judge s can direct them to do something only if you show that that school / college authorities have acted in violation of some law, some Govt circular, some Govt resolution.

3) Instead of PIL, particularly, when you are not aware of all facts, and when your RTI are not being replied,  it is better to file a civil suit in trial court. In suit you can serve interrogatories on them to admit or deny something on Oath or to produce record or to produce applicable Govt Resolutions.

Think over.

LR- 43 Today, Caption of a Virat Ship called Judiciary is changing, namely by judge named Justice JS Khehar.

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.

LR-42 A common misunderstanding about legal paper usesd in HC and in SC.

In many high courts green legal size papers are used in filing in HC.

In SC only white legal size papers are used.

Frequently documents are sent by trial court or High Court Advocates on green legal size.

This should be sent on while legal size paper only, typed in double space on one side of paper with larger left margin for binding purpose.
