By the gradual process of up and downs in my life, I could have been able to learn through my experiences that what we may be able to get through the grace of god are not the scattered love, nor the success and wealth but the knowledge. Thus I have started worshipping the almighty with the following prayer. O, gods to thee I pray increase my knowledge day by day. It is only now after attending the respectful command amongst the members of the Bar and Bench that I have started thinking that all these notions in my life are based on the correct foundations. This is my firm determination that what ever I may be able to achieve in my life that will be dependent on the out come of my efforts on these guidelines and none else. Notwithstanding, there are the fluctuations in the formation of these notions, which provides me a sense of mental agony, frustration and disappointments in life. There is the profound bleeding at my heart on the psychologically region which seldom gives me an effect of chafing of the wound before it can be healed. This is the painful reminder of the lost empire, which was built on solid foundation. It is gradually obliterating. The plights of such advocates are remarkable in respect to their struggle, which have nobody to support them. These advocates are put to the disadvantageous position in their struggle for existence. They are not having the shelter to protect their head nor any guardian to guide them. There is no sympathy with these advocates, who have settled from outsides. Since, the adversities are the touchstone of brave mind, they keep on doing the struggle and by the passage of time, they may enjoy a respectable position at Bar. The crucial conditions are still having their predominating conditions in the legal profession. This is on account of their non- adaptability in the profession by such fundamentalist elements, which provide the top priorities to the conservative approach instead of liberal out look towards them. There is the negligent proportionate of representations in the elevation prospects as the members of the Bench. The names are recommended on the advises of the senior judges. Thus the predominating factors in the orthodox Indian society are seen on floor of choice. The unfortunate newcomer from the outside, who have the better experiences towards the problems of life, are put to the disadvantageous situation in the matter of their selection. This is the hard reality of the day after the changes in the selection procedure by the judgement of the Apex court. This is the cause of the resentment of the large members of Bar Association. There is an iron cage, not having any ventilation and people are living in the state of suffocation, virtually on the verge of their death point. There is a complete apathy of the custodian of the power towards their welfare and in our country "We, the people " who are regarded to be the sovereign of the nation are living a life full of abrogation and subjugation. I seldom consider that whether it is worthwhile to shout a voice and thereby invite some lighter sleeper to suffer the agony of the death and this purpose achieved through my writing may serve some purpose. Since the daylight shallow the darkness, I have written articles to take the intellectual from apathetically approach towards rectification of prevailing maladies as to wake up. I am sending herewith my some articles for being displayed by your good self. Justice is a virtue, which transcends all barriers in the way of administration of justice. This is the acknowledged position of law that no party can be forced to suffer for the inaction or omission on the part of law enforcement agencies and whosoever he may be strong. Every decision will be passed according to the procedure established by law. Thus the law has to bend before justice. No court can restore the broken heart of the justice and he should provide such protection, which is necessary for them like dutiful parents. The decision may not be repugnant to the normal concept and the basic unit of the society may not be allowed to be influenced by immorality. Thus the ultimate responsibility is by enunciating the foundation of a system on which administration of justice may get the public confidence in our judicial system. The just and social duty is cast upon the legal profession. This is possible by the conduct and action of the people associated with legal profession by obliterating the inequalities as uneducated and exploited mass of the people may get a helping hand. What is legally due is to serve the duty and it is not worthwhile for an Advocate to become the spokesman of the litigant irrespective of the fact whether his cause is meant for sponsoring the justice to the society at large. The conduct anticipated in this manner is befitting from his status by upholding the high and honorable profession. There are the high expectations from, and advocate, which is fair, reasonable and according to law. There is the gradual decay of the above noted standard and the participation in the legal process, which should have been conducted completely flawlessly, and foolproof, they are picking out the lapses by expressing unsavory criticism. The consistency is now been considered as no virtue and the obligation of judicial conscience, which was meant to correct the error is manifesting like uncontrolled epidemic. This is the reason why the legal profession is not been accepted as a noble profession. The proceedings are dependent upon the remedies available under the law. Every act of statutory body which must have been exercised by keeping the purpose and objective meant for enshrine the statutory power with the authority should have been exercised by keeping the object of such power which is meant by the statute and not with other extraneous consideration, otherwise the fraud will be perpetuated and the faith and belief shall not be subjected to any judicial scrutiny. Thus an accountability is must whenever as wrong is corrected. Some time in such matter of adjudicating without any valid cause, the court unwittingly becomes party to the miscarriage of justice. The judiciary is an ultimate interpreter of the constitution, which is assigned with a duty of the delicate task ensuring that the action of the authorities vested with the statutory power may not breach or transgress its limit. It is distressing that an unscrupulous litigant in order to circumvent the due administration of justice of the court seldom found by adopting a dubious recourse of ingenious methods. These includes the filing of fraudulent litigation to defeat the right of the other person and such tendency deserves to be curbed out by passing the appropriate orders to provide a check upon such unhealthy practice and also by issuing necessary directions including imposition of exemplary cost. This is required for strengthening the belief of the common man in the institution of the judiciary. Creation of such faith may result in reaching the excellence in the profession. The credibility of the judicial institution is founded upon the faith of the common man in its proper functioning. The faith would be eroded and the confidence destroyed if the officials deployed with statutory duties may start acting subjectively and not objectively. Society expects honesty and integrity and thus the official must be taught to act fairly, unbiased and impartially. The purpose of the court is to see that the society does not loose confidence and as such the court itself may not consider themselves that they are above the law. In appropriate cases even the court may find to pull down the shutters of adjudicatory jurisdiction before a party if his conduct is not subjected to be entertained against the so called grievances which is not genuine. The exercise of judicial discretion is founded on the well recognized principles established by law . The menace of frivolous litigation may not be permitted to be hidden under the rigmarole of legal technicalities. The realities of the life have to be kept in mind while appreciating the evidence. The court is not oblige to make efforts to protect the guilty of polluting society and man kind. Thus in exercise of the constitutional power of the High court, the endeavor should have not been given for impairing the cause of justice by the court itself. The legal profession of an advocate is certainly having certain professional obligation, which are distinguishing from the business commitments. Thus if the court may not participate in the activities of providing justice at large, it is not permissible to get the injustice permitted by it by entertaining the frivolous litigation and to make them burden some to a common people. Rectification of an order thus stems from the fundamental principles that justice is above all. It is exercised to remove the error and not for disturbing finality. Neither the rules of procedure nor technicalities of law can stand in its way. The order of the court should not be prejudicial to anyone. Rule of stare decisis is adhered for consistency but it is not as inflexible in administrative law as in public law. Even the law bends before justice. Entire concept of writ jurisdiction exercised by the higher courts is founded on equity and fairness. If the court finds that the order was passed under a mistake and it would not have exercised the jurisdiction. The erroneous assumption that in fact did not exist and its perpetration shall result in miscarriage of justice then it cannot on any principle be precluded from rectifying the error. Mistake is accepted as valid to recall an order. The foundation of the judiciary is the trust and the confidence of the people in its ability to deliver fearless and impartial justice and as such no action can be permitted which may shake the very foundation itself. The rule of law is the foundation of a democratic society. The judiciary is the guardian of the rule of law and if the judiciary is to perform its duties and functions effectively and remain true to the spirit with which it is sacredly entrusted, the dignity and authority of the courts has to be respected and protected at all costs.
