Justice K Chandru.

Amid all those complaints that justice is getting unduly delayed and cases are piling up in courts across the country, a judge in the Madras high court is obsessed with speed.

Justice K. Chandru is widely known in the legal circles as the commoner’s messiah, who walks an extra mile hearing cases well beyond the court hours to hasten disposal.

Five years in the life of a judge is not a long time but then, Justice Chandru’s score card makes one wonder whether he has been around for a much longer time as he has disposed off 65,000 cases since being elevated from the bar five years ago.

“There were days when the judge would himself pick up the big books of pending cases from the court staff room and spend late evenings hearing the petitioners. Clearing old cases in shortest possible time is his USP”, said a senior lawyer.

Requested for his views on speedy justice for the ordinary litigant, Justice Chandru recounted some interesting and heart-rending courtroom episodes.

Hats off, Sir!, hope all other judges take inspiration from your commitment to the Justice and clear all pending cases with them!

PTI / The Hindu / NEW DELHI, June 29, 2011.

Asserting that he has no hesitation in subjecting himself to the jurisdiction of Lokpal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday ruled out inclusion of higher judiciary within the ambit of the anti—corruption ombudsman.

Bringing higher judiciary under the jurisdiction of the Lokpal would be contrary to the Constitutional scheme of things, he said while voicing confidence that a national consensus would be evolved on the proposed Lokpal Bill.

He told a group of editors in New Delhi that his Cabinet colleagues were of the view that bringing the institution of Prime Minister under Lokpal would create an element of instability which, at times, can go out of hand.

“I, for one, have no hesitation in bringing myself under the purview of the Lokpal,” he said.

Yes, Lok Pal should be confined to only political and administration corruption and the Judiciary can continue to have present monitoring system to continue!
