Indian Judiciary: The Last Bastion or The Biggest Scam?

Indian Judiciary: The Last Bastion or The Biggest Scam?

March 24, 2025 0

Ah, the Indian judiciary—our one last hope in this corrupt circus. The only institution people still trust. Turns out, maybe we shouldn’t. Because guess what? Judges, too, have price tags. And sometimes, those tags come in neatly stacked crore-rupee bundles hidden inside their own homes.

When Justice Smells Like Burnt Cash

Picture this: A fire breaks out at Delhi High Court Judge Yashwant Varma’s house. Firefighters rush in. But instead of charred furniture, they find piles of half-burnt cash. Crores. Just sitting there. Waiting to be counted.

Now, any logical system would investigate, suspend, prosecute—you know, normal stuff when a judge is caught with what looks like a side hustle. But nope, our brilliant system decides to transfer him. That’s right. TRANSFER. ✈️ Because what better way to handle corruption than relocating it? ‍♂️ Welcome back to Allahabad High Court, sir. Hope the cash survived the flames.

Collegium: The Family Business Model

This is where things get really juicy. Ever wondered who hires these judges? The Collegium system—a lovely little old-boys’ club where judges handpick their own. ‍⚖️ No public oversight. No accountability. Just a closed-door family business where merit takes a backseat and “connections” get the front-row seat. ️

The result? Zero checks. Zero balances. Maximum loot. A judge caught with crores? Just pass the baton.

The #MeToo of the Judiciary

Here’s the real problem—nobody wants to talk. Because they all have skeletons in their own closets. Much like the #MeToo movement, where nobody dared to call out powerful predators, here too, judges won’t raise a finger against their brothers in black robes. ⚖️ Why? Because if one falls, the whole house collapses. ️

And let’s be clear—judicial corruption is not just another scam. It’s worse than politicians, police, or bureaucrats. Why? Because these guys are supposed to be the last line of defense. When the judge himself is for sale, who do you go to for justice? The highest bidder wins.

FAIJS: The Solution They Don’t Want

This is why we pushed for FAIJS (Forum for All India Judicial Services). A system where judges are recruited through a transparent, merit-based process. ✅ A system that ends nepotism and stops these family-run judicial cartels.

I was a digital marketing partner for FAIJS. We fought for fair appointments. For accountability. For a system where a judge’s worth is his ethics, not his connections. And guess what? Nobody in power wants this. Because a clean system means no hidden cash piles.

So, What Now? ‍♂️

If we let this slide, we’re screwed. Period. If judges can be bought, justice is just another commodity. We need transparency. Independent oversight. Hard punishments.

Oh, but wait—who will punish them? Other judges? That’s like asking thieves to conduct their own investigation. ‍☠️ A joke.

This cancer is eating the judiciary from within. Either we fight now, or we accept that our courts are nothing more than luxury brothels—where the rich buy verdicts, and the rest of us just watch.
