Appeal

The judicial officer, Shrirang Yadavrao Waghmare, was appointed as a

Judicial Magistrate in 1985. He was dismissed from service on 2004.

New Delhi:

Falling for "gratification of lust" proved costly for a magistrate from Maharashtra, as the
Supreme Court, unmoved by his pleas for leniency, upheld his dismissal from service citing
"lacunae" in the purity of his character.

A bench comprising Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose said: "In our view the word
'gratification' does not only mean monetary gratification. Gratification can be of various types. It
can be gratification of money, gratification of power, gratification of lust etc. In this case the
officer decided the cases because of his proximate relationship with a lady lawyer and not
because the law required him to do so."

The judicial officer, Shrirang Yadavrao Waghmare, was appointed as a Judicial Magistrate in
1985. In February 2001, he was put under suspension and dismissed from service in January
2004. He could not get any relief from the High Court.

The Supreme Court noted that the purpose of deciding this appeal, it is foremost necessary to
take into account the core allegation against him. "The allegation was that he had a proximate
relationship with a lady lawyer and due to this relationship he passed certain judicial orders in
 favour of her clients, including her mother and brother when they were parties to certain
proceedings," observed the top court.

"His conduct is as such that no leniency can be shown and he cannot be visited with a lesser
punishment," observed the court.

The court noted that these findings on the magistrate's conduct have been upheld by all courts
and even the Supreme Court has not interfered with those findings.

"A Judge is judged not only by his quality of judgments but also by the quality and purity of his
character. Impeccable integrity should be reflected both in public and personal life of a judge.
One who stands in judgments over others should be incorruptible. That is the high standard
which is expected of judges", said the court.

Is Sanjeev Bhatt’s Sentence An Indication Of India’s Dying

Justice System?
Azaz Ahmad
On June 20, 2019, Gujarat’s former IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt was sentenced to life
imprisonment by a local court in a custodial death case, which goes back to 1990. Along
with him a constable, too, was awarded the same sentence.

Sanjeev Bhatt is the same officer who had filed an affidavit in Supreme Court accusing
Narendra Modi—the then Chief Minister of Gujarat—of “complicity in the 2002 riots”,
which claimed the lives of over 1,200 people mostly Muslims, including women and
children. The tragic riots were full of heinous crimes, one such being the gang rape of Bilkis
Bano. The riots exposed how the entire government was involved in this state-sponsored
ethnic cleansing of the Muslim community. But exposing their involvement has come with
a cost for Bhatt.

Rakesh Asthana, another IPS officer from Gujarat, who was the police commissioner in
Surat during Modi’s chief ministership, was appointed as a special director in CBI due to
his long association with Modi. His appointment was controversial as he did not meet
eligibility criteria, which was challenged in SC by an NGO. He was later moved out of CBI
 after being involved in a bribery case. Another example is DG Vanzara, the former
inspector general who carried out the alleged fake encounter of Ishrat Jahan. He was
subsequently acquitted by the blessings of the BJP government. Many officers have been
punished for upholding their integrity—while those who compromised have been rewarded
with promotions in the past many years.

Investigative journalist Rana Ayyub, published a book: “Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a

Cover-Up,” exposing the complicity of the officers and BJP leaders including Amit Shah, in
the Gujarat genocide. Rana Ayyub interviewed the masterminds of the Gujarat riots making
videos of people talking proudly about killing Muslims and raping women.

All these are well documented facts, instances and indications which prove how the
secular ethos of our democracy, and the justice system of India are being destroyed in
broad daylight under the current regime.

Editorial : Match Fixing in Courts

An Appeal to Honorable Chief Justice of India

Take the recent case of inordinate delay in elevation of Judge Khureshi , Justice K M Joseph or
transfers of Justice Tahilramani , Justice Jayanth Patel to name a few. The SCI collegium and the powers
that be in government are afraid that if specific honest judges are elevated or continued in present
office , crimes by vvips will come into open. Therefore both collegium and powers that be connive to
eliminate them and get favorable judgements from others.

Honourable SCI judges must practice what they preach. Read the above articles and answer the
Questions.
