Justice Ranjan Gogoi nominated to the Rajya Sabha – many eyebrows are raised.

Former Chief Justice of India, justice Ranjan Gogoi, has been nominated to the Rajya Sabha, by President, Ramnath Kovind. This has raised the eyebrows of many. It is being pointed out that, if such high positions are offered to judges after their retirement, then it will lead to favouritism and nepotism in the judiciary. The judiciary will lose it’s independence and will become subordinate to the government. Recently, justice Muralidhar, who criticised the BJP leaders for the Delhi riots, was transferred in the midnight. A message is being sent that, those judges criticise the government and the ruling party will be punished and those judges who favour them will be rewarded. This is not good for Indian democracy.
