Judicial independence is essential. But independence cannot mean freedom from questions about how judicial power is exercised. The allocation of cases deserves transparency because the roster can shape the course of justice. Who holds the Master of the Roster accountable? My column in @barandbench: barandbench.com/columns/is-t… #SupremeCourt #JudicialAccountability

The CJI is the master of the roster. But who holds the master accountable? The power to allocate cases is not a routine administrative function. It can shape which Bench hears a case, when it is heard and, in politically sensitive matters, how judicial scrutiny unfolds.

Sealed cover justice: When secrecy becomes a shield and clean chits raise eyebrows

"The report is taken on record. It shall remain in a sealed cover."Few procedural directions appear as routine in the Supreme Court as these words. Yet, behind

Science has already answered the question. IVF clinics can now create, preserve and transfer embryos with remarkable precision. But when relationships break down, who decides their future? theprint.in/opinion/frozen-e… #IVF #Surrogacy #supremecourt

The legal dilemma at the heart of IVF

Advances in assisted reproduction have created legal questions about consent, autonomy and parenthood that neither Parliament nor the courts have fully settled.

Indian courts are clueless about live-in relationships. They’re bumbling along case by case theprint.in/opinion/indian-c… via @theprintindia #SupremeCourt #IndianJudiciary #Constitution #RuleOfLaw #AccessToJustice #CivilProcedure #JudicialReforms #LegalReform

Indian courts are clueless about live-in relationships. They’re bumbling along case by case

The real difficulty for courts lies in the fact that statutes can regulate marriage more easily than they can regulate emotional realities.
