Karnataka High Court orders donation of books to KSBC Law Academy instead of imposing costs.

 


Justice Krishna Dixit of the Karnataka High Court has ordered a defaulting party to donate books to the Karnataka State Bar Council Law Academy instead of imposing costs.

Courts normally impose costs on the defaulting parties at the time allowing the application for condonation of delay or restoration of petition/appeal which was dismissed for default. The cost amount is paid to Advocates Welfare Fund or Legal Services Authority. 

However, directing the defaulting party to donate books to the library of the Karnataka State Bar Council is really admirable. 

KSBC Law Academy has received ten books of "Learning The Law" by A.T.H Smith and "Law & Social Transformation" by Shri. P. Ishwara Bhat. 

S.Basavaraj,
Chairman,
Karnataka State Bar Council Law Academy.

  The reply speech of Justice Krishna Bhat on his retirement makes shocking revelation about superior Court Judges' kith and kin misusing their position to obtain favourable orders in subordinate Courts. Justice Krishna Bhat candidly discloses how the children of the Supreme Court Judge have been misusing their position. There are instances where the children of SC Judge visiting the trial Court Judges with clients asking for favourable orders/judgments.    Excerpts from Justice Krishna Bhat’s speech.     “Now, I find certain coyness at the higher level and it was felt necessary to rechristen the manner of referring to subordinate Courts in a manner at variance with the nomenclature found at Chapter VI of the Constitution of India.

"Stop pleasing superior Court Judges in the name of protocol. Your judicious acts will protect you". Justice Krishna Bhat urges trial Court Judges.

Image
The reply speech of Justice Krishna Bhat on his retirement has provided substantial material for serious debates concerning the institution of judiciary especially at the Taluka and District levels.  Justice Krishna Bhat's speech makes scathing attack on the following practices. 1. Judges of the superior Courts expecting royal treatment from the trial Court Judges. 2. Kith and kin of superior Court judges trying to influence the trial Court Judges in the discharge of judicial functions. 3.

I am not certain that all these similar measures have ensured to instil a sense of self-...
