The lift on firecracker ban in the choked, slowly dying city of Delhi, by (In)Justices Gavai and Chandran is an exposé in its own regard.
It not only showcases the saffronisation of courts but also how judiciary has eroded and has been caught in a compromising position with the ruling party. The judges gave reasoning that it's better to have a lift in ban and regulate the sales of "green" crackers than to have them smuggled.
First of all, a learned supreme court Judge is expected to know what green washing is and that there's not such thing as environmentally friendly pollutants. The very resourceful Indian public is already an expert in faking green crackers and putting false labels on regular crackers. They know no one is coming to check and the odd stray officer is more than happy to have his palms greased at the expense of your lungs.
Secondly, by this order, the courts admitted that there is no longer any fear of contempt of court or violation of court orders if the executive fails to uphold the directive of the courts. This order screams loudly that the judiciary is a mere mouthpiece of the incumbent party and is not interested in upholding the citizens quality of life and right to clean air and water.
The more pathetic part is that this order comes in the wake of pirali burning, which should be a thorn in the side of any sincere judiciary but it seems that the skin of judicature has grown thick.
Despite all the huffing and puffing and deadlines given to governments, farmers are as blatantly violating Supreme Court orders as the kanwadiya dj trucks violate the NGT norms for noise pollution. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) (be)headed by Chairman Sandeep Kumar and Member Secretary Sandeep Mishra, is known for their lax approach in enforcing any kind of rules and is a known mute spectator to the pillaging of air quality by politically motivated serial offenders. This kind of apathy can only happen where corruption is involved as clearly documented and showcased by Anti Corruption Branch numerous times in their reports.
It is also clear that the Minister of Environment of Delhi, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and the Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change of India, Bhupender Yadav are also sitting too stuffed to the brim to even comment on the pathetic state of pollution in the national capital, a state of global embarrassment that has been documented by global media, year after year.
It has become clear that all Chief Justices will do anything for post retirement perks and will sacrifice the fundamental rights of citizens just to have a retirement plot in the hills. The previous CJI "DIY" Chandrachud who is the first nepo kid of judiciary, has clearly demonstrated and openly admitted to political motivation whilst delivering the most crucial judgement in recent times.
Going by this order by Justice B. R. Gavai, it is abundantly clear that not every B. R. is Ambekar.
