Anomalies in Law and Justice: Writings Related to Law & Justice<\/a><\/h3>\n

Overview:<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

In this excellent compendium, Justice Raveendran brings forward the contemporary problems in justice delivery, corrupt system, the role of diverse\u00a0institutions in the Parliamentary Democracy, deterioration of moral values, loss of confidence of the common man in the rule of law, judicial conduct in decision making and law being not in sync with justice. With over four decades of experience on the Bench and off it, Justice Raveendran suggests meaningful and vitally important solutions to these problems. The Book consists of two sets of articles \u2013 the first dealing with matters relating to law and justice of relevance and interest to the general public and the second dealing with subjects of special interest to the members of the Judiciary and the Bar.<\/p>\n

Extract from the foreword:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The eminence of the author and the sheer depth, elegance, the profound contemporary practical relevance of the thoughts expressed in these articles, essays, and addresses: \u201cAnomalies in Law & Justice\u201d pre-empt the need for any extraneous foreword. However, my admiration for Justice Raveendran compels me not to deny myself this opportunity to record my tribute to the eminent judge and to the present work. The writings are the result of deep reflection on the problems of the extant justice delivery system and other contemporary issues of our national life. A long time ago, a British Judge lamented that if Britain’s business methods were as antiquated as its legal methods, it should have been a bankrupt country long ago. I congratulate Justice Raveendran for his excellent comprehensive commentary on some of the serious contemporary issues in our national life. The writings amply reward the readers.<\/p>\n

A volume of writings on Law and Justice by a former Judge of the Supreme Court of India,\u00a0which\u00a0are\u00a0of profound contemporary practical relevance. In\u00a0Anomalies in Law & Justice<\/em>, Justice Raveendran brings to the fore the contemporary problems in justice delivery, corrupt system, the role of diverse institutions in the Parliamentary Democracy, deterioration of moral values, loss of confidence of the common man in the rule of law, judicial conduct in decision making and law being not in sync with justice. With more than four decades of experience on the Bench and on it, Justice Raveendran suggests meaningful and vitally important solutions to these problems. Written in clear and\u00a0jargon-free language, the book is an excellent contribution by a very fine legal mind.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Anomalies in Law & Justice<\/em>, are just the tip of the iceberg of this excellent compendium that deserves to be read widely. The collection of articles, divided into two\u00a0parts and ten chapters and covering various subjects, represents the distilled wisdom of one of India\u2019s most respected judges. Significantly, the book travels far beyond just highlighting the problems that plague a constitutional democracy; Justice Raveendran sets out practical and pragmatic suggestions that merit serious consideration. Two interesting chapters, intended for \u201cnew judges\u201d, deserve to be read not only by all judges\u2014old and new\u2014but by lawyers as well. As the Indian republic has now crossed the 70-year milestone, the book offers ample material for course correction in the\u00a0coming decade.<\/p>\n

Anomalies in Law & Justice<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Murali Neelakantan<\/span><\/p>\n

A book by a retired judge is not one that is keenly anticipated or read. At best, there will be a book release function with other judges and everyone will say something nice about the judge and the book, even if they haven\u2019t read the book. This one though is different for many reasons \u2013 the author is well known in the legal fraternity as a scholar and deep thinker of law and justice but always tempering that academic though with pragmatism. This book should therefore be no surprise to the cognoscenti who will be familiar with his lectures and essays.<\/p>\n

The book is a collection of essays \u2013 some published earlier and others adapted from lectures delivered by the author. Thanks to the editing team which has blended the different formats to a uniform style, it would not be easy for anyone to tell the difference. A frequent criticism of books and essays by retired bureaucrats and judges is that they tend to be \u201cpreachy\u201d \u2013being nostalgic about the past and how terrible everything has become now. The author confesses that it is something that he was conscious of and tried to avoid. It may seem that he has, perhaps unconsciously, fallen into that trap in a few places \u2013 the state of the legal profession and his advice to judges but one should really see this as practical tips from an expert.<\/p>\n

The first half of the book is titled \u201cGeneral\u201d and contains 5 essays dealing with anomalies in the law and obsolete provisions in the law which everyone just refuses to acknowledge. The first chapter highlights the ridiculously low level of fines for offences which puts judges in a difficult situation \u2013 if they find the accused guilty, they tend to impose imprisonment because the fine is just not proportionate to the crime or they impose a fine which becomes a small cost for the criminal to continue to ignore the law. Addressing this requires a new approach – of regularly updating these amounts by a fixed percentage (say CPI+ 20%), perhaps by one statutory instrument every few years so that the fine is a real penalty, not just a fee to conduct criminal activity. Similarly, compensation to victims under various laws hasn\u2019t been updated in years and it would be useful to have a law that allows these amounts to be increased by notification every few years.<\/p>\n

No book on law and justice in India is complete without a substantial portion devoted to the judiciary. The author describes many of the problems that the justice system faces but in summary it seems to be \u2013 justice is not the objective of all the stakeholders. This doesn\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone but he provides some pragmatic solutions although it is fair to say that none of them is novel. That however, is a telling indictment of the \u201csystem\u201d \u2013 we know the problems and the solutions and yet we haven\u2019t done much to solve those problems, which seem to be growing by the day. Surprisingly, no mention is made of live streaming of court proceedings and how that is likely to affect justice delivery especially since there are a few paragraphs on media trials. Having authored the landmark judgment of the constitution bench in the Madras Bar Association (2010) case about constitutionality of tribunals, one was expecting an essay on this topic which, in recent years, has become an eyesore, neither fish nor fowl.<\/p>\n

The last two chapters in the first part of the book are about corruption and parliamentary democracy. Readers will find his classification of corruption, bribe givers and public servants interesting. Corruption is classified as Preparatory Level, Initial Level, Standard Level, Serious Level and Catastrophic Level based on the circumstances of the citizen bribe givers. Public servants are classified into the Incorruptible, Basically Honest, Fence Sitters and Incorrigibly Corrupt and the author believes that they neatly fit the Gaussian distribution of 5:50:40:5. The essay about parliamentary democracy addresses many of the issues that have remained unresolved for many years now \u2013 the election process, voting, criminals in politics and impact of money on election results. It was a surprise that there was nothing said about \u201chorse-trading\u201d \u2013 that seasonal activity that Indian political parties undertake and is now widely acclaimed as an essential political skill.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The second part of the book is a collection of essays based on speeches delivered at the National and State Judicial Academies and provides a wonderful insight into the workings of the judiciary. While it highlights the tasks and challenges that the judiciary faces and provides some very pragmatic and practical advice, for those outside the judicial system, it explains how judges work, especially the \u201ctricks\u201d used to game the system. Lawyers have known how this is done –\u00a0 remand the case to the lower court rather than decide the dispute, issue notice and leave the case for someone else to decide, issue orders that can never be executed, etc.<\/p>\n

The one issue in this part of the book that affect everyone is the uncertainty in the law that is caused by the judiciary. In the first part of the book, poor legislation and executive orders were criticized, and to be fair, this part doesn\u2019t spare the judiciary. The tone is \u201cmea culpa\u201d rather than pontification and that should make the suggestions for reform more palatable. His advice to judges about the key qualities that they need to exhibit may seem obvious but during an informal chat with the author, he mentioned that this was the only way to earn the trust of the people who seem to have become cynical about the judicial system. There is an acknowledgement, in the same way as Daniel Kahneman describes in his latest book, Noise, that inconsistency, prejudice and bias can\u2019t be eliminated but being cognizant of them means that judges can actively identify and address them.<\/p>\n

The last two essays in the second part are about alternate dispute resolution \u2013 mediation, conciliation and arbitration. India has a long way to go before these forms of dispute resolution become mainstream and until they do, courts will find it impossible to deliver justice. His extensive experience as an arbitrator, since retiring from the Supreme Court, shows in the last essay \u2013 on arbitration where he highlights the reasons why Indian arbitration has been infected with the same virus as the Indian judiciary. One shouldn\u2019t expect a different outcome if the players (lawyers and retired judges) are the same but it is striking how these very same people behave so differently when they participate in international arbitrations. Perhaps he will read the essays in The Idea of a Law School, Ideas from the Law school and discuss why it is that developed countries have managed better outcomes than India, despite having similar rules.<\/p>\n

As with any book, it will not be able to cover everything aspect of the topic and it is impossible with law and justice. I hope that he will write about why the judiciary seems to have to function at half its sanctioned strength and no Chief Justice is able to do anything about it. Another subject that hasn\u2019t been explored is the propensity of the Supreme Court to hear cases without following the rigour of the procedure established in Articles 132 to 136 of the Constitution. It seems like the enthusiasm of the Supreme since the 1990s to exercise the power to do complete justice conferred by Article 142 has elevated article 136 and rendered Articles 132-135 impotent. These and article 136, if restored to their proper place, would address two major issues \u2013 courts focusing on what needs to be decided and not be distracted in their judgments, which the author identifies as a major cause for uncertainty in the law, and will filter out cases that don\u2019t raise substantial issues of law and shouldn\u2019t therefore be heard by the Supreme Court. As a result, there will be fewer cases in the Supreme Court and clearer declarations of law under Article 141 of the constitution. This is the experience of the UK and there is no good reason that India cannot have it too.<\/p>\n

There are other subjects that one hopes he will address when he delivers lectures or writes and everyone will benefit from his experience and insights. This book is not just for lawyer and judges, it is also for legislators and administrators and vigilant citizens. One hopes that the book will be essential reading at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy of Public Administration and the author will be invited to discuss it with future administrators, judges and parliamentarians. Justice Raveendran clearly articulates his diagnosis and then goes on to offer suggestions for both reforms and also incremental changes that can be easily executed. Will those who care about justice in India pay heed?<\/p>\n
