Chief Justice (CJI) of India R. Gawai said on Friday (October 3) that the Indian judicial system is not operated by the rule of bulldozers, but from the rule of law. During an event in Mauritius, he mentioned his own decision to condemn Bulldozer Justice.
‘India does not run by law with bulldozers’
Highlighting the principle of rule of law and its widespread interpretation on behalf of the Supreme Court of India, CJI Gawai said, “This decision has given a clear message that the Indian judicial system is run not from the rule of bulldozers, but from the rule of law.”
Justice Gawai is on a three -day official visit to Mauritius. In the judgment given in the Bulldozer Justice case, the Supreme Court admitted that the demolition of the houses of the accused over alleged offenses bypasses legal processes, violates the rule of law and violates the fundamental right to shelter under Article 21 of the Constitution.
CJI mentioned the historical decisions of the Supreme Court
He said that it was also believed that the executive could not play another role. Mauritius President Dharambir Gokhul, Prime Minister Naveen Chandra Ramgulam and Chief Justice Rehana Mungali Gulbul were also present on the occasion. In his address, the Chief Justice mentioned various historical decisions of the Supreme Court including the 1973 Keshavanand Bharti case.
Justice Gawai said that in the social sector, laws have been enacted to prevent historical injustice and marginalized communities have often resorted to the language of their rule and law to claim their rights.
Chief Justice mentioned triple talaq
He said, “In the political field, the rule of law serves as a standard of good governance and social progress, which is completely opposite to misrule and anarchy.” Referring to Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar’s contribution, he said that his foresight showed that the rule of law in India is not just a group of rules.
He mentioned recent notable decisions, including the decision to end the practice of triple talaq among Muslims. Justice Gawai also emphasized the importance of the decision in which the right to privacy is considered a fundamental right.
