Principles required for a Judge


I had once asked Justice Iyer what his guiding principles in his role as Judge were. In his inimitable style, he said it were four and described them thus:===> The first lesson he said, fundamental to life and law, is humility without hubris and humanist hearing without “high bench” attitude; ===>the second - which he said touched his judicial heart - was the compassionate treasury of the preamble to the Constitution, particularly the words in its exordium “we, the people of India”; the ===> third, was to hear either side fairly since courage and independence obliged him to give even “the devil its due”; and ==>finally, Justice Iyer told me that his life has taught him that perfect justice is a mirage and that in pursuit of this illusion, we ought not to jeopardise that justice which is within our grasp.

By Justice Krishna Iyer (as he then was)

Reserved Category Candidates Availing Age Relaxation Barred From Migrating To General Category Seats If Rules Forbid : Supreme Court
https://www.livelaw.in/supreme-court/reserved-category-candidates-availing-age-relaxation-barred-from-migrating-to-general-category-seats-if-rules-forbid-supreme-court-303357

Ratio: “Whether a reserved candidate who has availed relaxation in fees/upper age limit to participate in open competition with general candidates may be recruited against unreserved seats would depend on the facts of each case. That is to say, in the event there is no embargo in the recruitment rules/employment notification, such reserved candidates who have scored higher than the last selected unreserved candidate shall be entitled to migrate and be recruited against unreserved seats. However, if an embargo is imposed under relevant recruitment rules, such reserved candidates shall not be permitted to migrate to general category seats

Relied: The Court also referred to Saurav Yadav v. State of UP (2020), clarifying that candidates can only be migrated to unreserved seats when no special concession has been availed and no bar exists in the recruitment framework.

Facts: Since a bar to migration existed in the present case, the Court overturned the High Court's decision and denied the migration to the Respondents to the general seats.

Kindly read this brief properly to understand the crux of recent reservation judgment

a. See the law in detail;
b. And this is not something new as well.

HCs should discourage writ or 482 where alternative remedies are available. Nonetheless In

Sakiri Vasu v. State of U.P. 2008

it is equally true that alternative remedy is not an absolute bar for invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction or the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court.

The present case belongs to non registration of FIR on the basis of preliminary inquiry report but the HC has directed it to register on the prima facie finding that cognizable offence has been committed and so the preliminary inquiry is not conclusive because ordinarily it is not required.

Lalita kumari has held that if no cognizable offence is made out then to ascertain cognizable offence is made out preliminary inquiry is held

Constitutional Court has exercised its discretion in entertaining the petitions and directing for the registration of the FIR against the two officers on being satisfied that the commission of a cognizable offence is prima facie made out against them we see no good reason to interfere
