When on appeal,many lower courts’ orders have been reversed, many a times on ‘non application of mind on the part of the judges’What does it mean?
Judges are not Gods.What is wrong in giving out the reasons for arriving at a particular judgment?Either you are misinterpreting law,the law is not clear or both or your reasons for arriving at a conclusion is wrong.
As a member of the Society, judiciary is also accountable.First reluctance to declare assets,now this!At this rate judges may simply deliver the verdict with out details whatsoever.Shameful.
The Right to Information Act (RTI) cannot be used for questioning orders passed by courts, the Supreme Court on Monday said and expressed its displeasure that such pleas are made under the transparency law.
“There is no right to anybody to demand such informations. Such plea are perverse and not maintainable,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice B S Chauhan said.
The orders passed by the lower courts cannot be questioned before any other forum and has to be challenged in the higher courts, the bench said noting that instead of choosing to appeal, the petitioners preferred to resort to RTI
Act.
“In the RTI application, the petitioner wanted to know why his legal submissions were not considered and what was the basis for the order. The petitioner wanted other sources of information…and also wanted to know so many other extraneous matters which amounts to contempt of court,” the bench said.
The bench was hearing an appeal of one Khanapuram Gandaiah who was denied such information under the RTI Act.
