The Challenges for the New Designate
As the Supreme Court Bar prepares itself to welcome Justice NV Ramana as the 48th chief justice of India (CJI), we need to introspect and reaffirm the role and functions of the paterfamilias of the legal fraternity in India.
The CJI would be better known as the 5th Citizen of India, and the fountainhead of justice dispensation and administration for the country. An essential feature of democracy is the separation of powers between the three principal organs of the state the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary as propounded by John Locke, the famous English, social contract theorist. Hence, the Judiciary is a separate and independent organ of the State.
