Dear Mr Kumar & others I had gone to the Mumbai high court some days back and stumbled on a calendar Of the high court, besides public/bank holidays they have about 20 days May holidays 15 to 20 days Diwali holidays, about 10 to 15 days Christmas holidays Wild guess I think they work only 6 months in a year, and be paid for 12 months Plus I believe paid holidays foreign trips with family Today a Excellent MBA graduate working in any prestigious company puts in about 12 to 16 hours of work ( say 2 shifts without overtime pay ) no family life, marriage out of question as who will look after their children ( only some good and fit grand parents taking their grand children to school, playing with them etc, ) Pityful scene today our younger educated generation live in fear as companies hire and fire. But theses Judges are having a ball of a time, because of so many holidays given to courts, court cases take so many years, dates after dates are given citizens are haressed, even though we live in a so called biggest Democratic country, objecting before judges for giving time and again adjurnments.they have powers to get you arrested and put you behind bars, Meaning DO NOT TALK SHUT UP if you do not attend on a certain date,and if case comes up you or your lawyer is absent case can be dismissed. Under RTI do not ask for Judges assests it could amount to a criminal offence. . Advocates are least affected They make their money, NO RECESSION for them , so now everyone want to do Law. Today its so difficult to get a good honest reasonable cost. lawyer, as they too want to get rich overnight, dont blame them as circumstances make them do so ( buy a 1 BHK flat In a decent society pay 1 crore. ) I had gone to inquiry dept Mumbai high court to collect some documents, the man before me told the lady to speak in Hindi as he does not understand marathi, after that came my turn I spoke in hindi, this women has the odasity to ask me how many years are you living in Mumbai I told her since birth 56 years She said 56 years and you cannot talk in marathi, I told her out of 56 years I worked in foreign countries, where no one speak marathi, I told her that I understand marathi But because of no pratice I cannot speak marathi fluently, I was angry and I told this lady in hindi I am a mumbai manoos not a gaati manoos ( not to offend any one, Gaati manoos are people who came to Mumbai from the Ghats ) There is a ENGLISH saying GOD SAVE THE QUEEN PLEASE GOD SAVE OUR COUNTRY AND OUR WORLD which today lies in perils.

But in return, we, the citizens of India, never get Justice. Are they doing justice to millions of cases pending in the courts? Are they bothered about the harassment of millions of litigants who are paying them their bread and butter??? They simply harass the litigants by adjourning the cases and in the end matter between harassed litigants is settled through Lok-Adalats .What a Mockery of Justice .Even a village Panchayat can run Lok Adalat..Why we need these Judges??? Recently they have adopted another style of not admitting the petitions and rejecting/dismissin g one the first hearing without even reading the case. Why they dont work for extra hours and Extra time for us. After all they are Public Servants. Contrarily, these Judges enjoy the vacations/holidays for months at a stretch when more than 40 Million cases are pending in the courts. On Diwali, they take one week holiday. On Dusherra they again go on one week holiday. In summer, they are closed for about two months. No other Government office is closed for so many days. Even our childrens go to school for more number of days than their working days. So, why to waste Public funds on them. Why to pay lucrative salaries to them when they are not performing. In fact, the Government run PSUs get paid on basis of their performance. The lower the performance of PSU the lesser the pay they get. So, why extra bonanza for these highly no performers. Let them show the performance before we accord our permission to hike their salaries. Lets come forward and put our suggestions before the Standing Committee. Kindly e-mail your opinion to Shri K.P. Singh, Joint Director, Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Room No 212 A9 Second Floor, Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi 110001 (Tel: 23034292 and Fax 23016784, E-mail: kpsi...@sansad. nic.inor rscp...@sansad. nic.in Please forward this e-mail for wider publicity and awareness.
