After that very forked tongue lashing unleashed by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar against the Goa Judiciary in the last session of the Goa Legislative Assembly there most disturbingly seems to be a very visible high level of fear psychosis generated amongst many Judges across Goa. This augurs very shoddily for the independence and sovereignty of the Judiciary. It is surprising that the Chief Justice of our High Court has not taken cognizance of this repeated uncalled for onslaught on the Judiciary by the Chief Minister. Neither Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar nor his very controversial Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni should be allowed to arm twist or intimidate judges in order to obtain favourable orders. Judges are answerable and accountable only to the Chief Justice and not to the Chief Minister who would like them to dance to his whims and fancies. The Courts should never be subject to improper influence from the government. A truly independent and impartial judiciary is vital for the rule of law to prevail at all times.
