Chief Justice of High court charged with corruption has finally been elevated to Justice of Supreme Court. Is it true?
Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, and mal-administration in the society.
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by court in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt judges sitting at top post.
When most of the ministers in the government, most of the MPs and most of the MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, judges and other functional heads?
I have experienced when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line cannot be expected to remain honest and efficient.
Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that a higher corrupt chief justice of a high court is elevated to justice of Supreme Court.
The bitter truth is that there is no fool proof method of providing perfectly merit based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt.
I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes in all departments and all organizations because Interview is such a test where the candidate’s career can be easily spoiled by Interviewers. During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, god fathers, flattery when Interviewer raises questions before the candidate and finally the marks is actually given by the interviewer. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions takes place and a reign of injustice spreads like cancer and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice. It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal.
