The Chief Justice and brother judge,
Supreme
Court of India,
New

Sub:
Right to privacy is it a fundamental
right ? What rights are ‘private’ ?
Sir,
Bio-metric
is necessary for obtaining Visa when one visits any western country, yet we do
not holler privacy when we apply for Visa. Adhaar card has prevented theft of
subsidy to large extent. If Bio-metric is one’s privacy then so is one’s face.
If one is so concerned with biometric then one should not show one’s face also.
Rather hiding face is more important since it can be copied unlike bio-metrics.
Judges should also wear Burqa in court rooms. Judiciary already follows the
Burqa system;-
1.
Burqa Appointments : Selections and appointments of judges-in
lower and higher courts remain under burqa. You keep on wondering how some
judges who do not know basics of law or cannot even comprehend facts
and precedents in plain English, managed to clear judicial exams and interviews.
2. Burqa
Promotions: How judges get elevated to higher courts, despite dozens of
serious complaints of corruption, incompetence and bias against them, remains
under burqa. Because of burqa system one never know how particular judges and
lawyers with dubious backgrounds are recommended and appointed by high courts
and supreme court.
3. Burqa
Proceedings : Judiciary does not allow court proceedings to be audio video
recorded or broadcast live. Due to burqa proceedings, you cannot question why
the court has shown you absent when you were present in court or how the
arguments of public prosecutor have been recorded when he did not utter a word
in court or how the court has written that adjournment granted on your request
while you pleaded for early disposal of the case.
4. Burqa
Judgments: Under burqa system, a judge gets away by writing anything in
his judgment, however absurd or contradictory to facts or law it may be. You
keep on wondering where the points raised by you in oral and written arguments
have gone; why the court has skipped 99 points that were in your favour and
decided the case by highlighting one small point against you. This is possible
under burqa judgment system.
5. Burqa
Grievance Redressal Mechanism : Well, under burqa system, you can make
complaint against judges. But as ashes once thrown into the Ganges do not
return, no response or action follows your complaint. You are free to use Right
To Information Act, but they are also free to give any kind of reply like
‘Information cannot be provided as judiciary is exempt from providing such and
such things’, ‘Your complaint has been seen and filed by the chief justice’,
‘you are advised to file appeal on judicial side’ etc.
If
true face of judicial system can remain under Burqa, Why not their physical
face. That too is their private thing.
For information and necessary action.
In
service of nation,
