Recommendations to Restore the Credibility of the Indian Judiciary

The excerpts from the “India Judicial Research Report 2024: Decline of the Indian Judiciary” are given below.

In order to restore the credibility of the Indian judiciary, some of the recommendations are given below.

Screening of Judges: The judges should not be appointed without proper live-streamed interviews with them by select committees of honest judges and reputed citizens after making the profiles and records of candidates public on a dedicated website. The open interviews with candidates should be on the lines of congressional hearings in the United States. This method should be applied to the existing judges also. Only those judges should be appointed in high courts and the Supreme Court who would not take government jobs or any other undue benefit after retirement. read more

RTI Application to Seek Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction Information from DDA

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction.

By Rakesh Raman

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction in Delhi’s Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) is a dangerous work which spreads harmful pollution and causes accidents in housing complexes where people (men, women, children, and senior citizens) are living. 

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction. In March / April 2024, I had sent RTI applications to various departments including Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Police, Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) of Delhi Government, and Delhi Fire Service (DFS) to seek FAR information.  read more
