Do you feel that the step towards declaration of assets by SC judges is milestone in Indian Judicial Reforms?

yes undoubtedly it is a milestone not because of the impact of such an activity but because of the clear submission by the judiciary to the will of the people of india.Atleast we can be happy that in a democracy like ours no institution can be supreme than the will of the people.As Mr.Rao observed,now its moving in the right direction,yet it requires further more intrevention,hats off to Mr santhibushan and Mr.Fali.S.Nariman for their contribution,,,,,,,,,,Great Indeed................

It is good movement. As it is there are always talks of corruption in judiciary. In such a scenario by hiding why one & all shld be tainted.

Yes, it is.

Yes,its a good change,But let see how it takes the shape.

Its A good move but let us see the consequences further....

judiciary is one of the noble profession where people still have faith and this step towards declaration of assets b judicial persons will certainly raise that level of faith, but it must not stop with only the declaration, steps must be taken to review the assets every year or at least once in five years and a separate committee must be set up to handle the cases of corruption and bribery of judicial persons and to dispose it quickly.

Yes it is a great change in that has taken place. Till now public servants have not been made accountable for their work and wealth. But now by this new judgement it is a great move by the SC tomake judges disclose their assets. The same step should be taken for other public servants from lower to upper heirarchy. So that the slowly and gradually we can eradicate corruption from the country.

yes v.durga rao ji this will be a trend setter to be imbibed by other citizens who are holding high post to declare their assets.

all public servants must be accountable.... and if they do not wish to be then DO NOT Apply for such JOBS... once they are in to the system it has to be very transperent and there must be stern action for the wrong practice. MORALITY START from own solu/mind.

Yes this can be milestone, if there is ruling to direct the judges for doing so by the Apex court.

Firstly, thanks Sir for this debate...

I agree with you that this has been a milestone decision, as we all know the level of corruption in Judiciary system, this will help keep a check.

This decision has send a message loud and clear that the one who are in Judicial System are not special and laws are the same for them, which they have forgotten.

IN brief i believe this is a communication of one of our fundamental right of Equality Before Law.

yes.its really a great change in indian judicial system. and now people will revive their faith in judiciary. but the question concerning the honesty of judges can again be doubted as firstly,the judges are themselves declaring their assets which can be their actual asset or not .... secondly, they are immune from answering any kind of queries relating to their assets.

further such transparency rules should be allowed in every court and tribunal and not only in supreme court but the judges of these court should be made answerable to all the reasonable queries relating to their assets via proper public panel not by any individual query which can be harassing for judges .

otherwise, for the subordinate court judges, a comparative study of assets should be made of the judges of similar rank and similar date of joining  upon a calculated perception of the term of his/her service  (in terms of money). in this way the honest judges shall not be made answerable for their assets.
