Delivering the ’17th Justice P D Desai Memorial Trust’ lecture virtually, Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana Wednesday said the right of people to change those in office through elections was no “guarantee against tyranny” of the elected and argued that democracy and its benefits could only be ensured by giving space to both “reasoned and unreasonable” public discourse.

Dire need..
Totally agree!

Ohh Yes Finally someone eminent as CJI said something about Bengal voilence.

@@sivaregunta8953 you must be a reddy from andhra right
@@pradeepboppana1167 You really think!?
YCP got 50% votes in 2019 assembly elections and a whopping 55% in the local body polls held in 2021. Reddys are a mere 5% of AP population and they don't vote in block to a single party. Who do you think the remaining 45-50% of the supporters/voters are?
We, in AP, have objectively seen how this rogue judge has meddled in the impartiality of the judiciary. A rogue judge is more dangerous than a bad politician or a bad bureaucrat will ever be.
Yes you want more corrupt in high position
New Delhi: In what could snowball into a major controversy with national implications, the daughters of Justice N.V. Ramana - senior-most judge of the Supreme Court after Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde and next in line to be CJI - have been accused of criminally conspiring with a former Advocate General of Andhra Pradesh to illegally purchase premium land in Amaravati, which until recently was to become India’s first greenfield capital city.

You are new light in the time darkness my Lord.....
Finally, CJI with a backbone.
Yes, post pioll violence against BJP workers in WB proves his statement.
@@anirbansadhukhan4681 You already know who his is really talking about, don't you?
Are you suggesting that judgement should be issued on the opinion of the individual. Totally independent of the facts and evidences in a particular situation. In order to be called someone with a spine.
Or if the judgement is opposite of what you think is correct then the judge is wrong?
@@pratyushojha Your queries are best answered by the CJI himself.
What CJI said- "..mere right to change the ruler, once every few years, by itself need not be a guarantee against tyranny."
Don't twist statements according to ur need.
Even by twisting the words , the essence of the words remains the same . Just conducting elections does not mean that everything that happens in the country is democratic and some elected leaders can behave like dictators too.
@@elenavanderwoodsen9783 yaaa and we have very clear examples in india
Excellent Wonderful thoughts
Salute Ramana sir
Honourable The Chief Justice of India,a well learned Indian judiciary we need quick Justice to that effect bring frforms
Where is the check and balance mechanism in the judiciary and the judicial system they represent ?
It is irrational to assume that all judges are angels.
True. And this guy of all people shouldn't be preaching
@@sivaregunta8953
Why?
Please help India by
1. abolishing laws like UAPA
2. A cheap Defamation law.
3. Election commissioned resort to paper ballot / vvpat verification for all evms
I will believe you MR CJI if you bring transparency to electoral bonds, and take other big cases that SC has been avoiding to save Central Government.
So you want J&K to be part of POK now?
Just remember, these judges are no saints.

Excellent speech by a highly learned and reputed judge. The proof of the pudding lies in the eating. Let us wait to find out how many lady Judges will be appointed to the higher judiciary in the next one year.
I will appreciate more if supreme court do a judiciary reform...
Clear the milliom of cases which in backlog..

@@shashwat8463 yes but the current cji isnt to blame for that
Grievances against the system aren't the topic at hand
CJI with full clarity on society. May God give all strength and guidance to him. 🙏
They couldn’t give the CJI a goddamned mic ! Why arent mics standard for these kinds of zoom speeches and interviews ?
His elucidation is not clear, mic is fine.
This man has restored the power and prestige of judiciary.
As CJI said that POLLS NO GUARANTEE AGAINST TYRANNY OF THE ELECTED, the same can be applied to ALL JUDGES
CJI Bapanna’s lecture is like a breath of fresh air after the disgrace brought to the judiciary by our last three CJIs. I hope he will be able to bring back some respect to our judiciary by taking up some very important pending cases. Also, I hope he will assign those cases to judges of highest integrity and intellect thus sending not only a clear message to the judges whose values are suspect, but restore faith in our hapless citizenry.
Streamlining Sir.! noble thought and action, personality, or every part inside is scanned if ever a single word is fell from the lips of so called human creation! Hats Off, Sir.
Equally should be asked about the Tyranny of Unelected
Hahahah well said Sir I salute you instead of the Judge
Hats of to you sir, I was searching for this reply. I don't know where you come from or who you are are, but you hit the bulls eye.
As Srikrishna said in Baghavadgita " As and when ADHARMA, AHIMSA & IMMORAL ACTIVITIES takes place,I will born to safeguard the people, CJI Ramana occupied the right seat to look into the welfare of the people, really a Godly man to quote.💐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
If only the same amount of concern was applied to clear the pending files!
It is not as simple as it seems. The government should appoint judges in tandem with the number of cases. For that people need to vote for parties that enable the judiciary, not that which suppresses it.
@@saikumargorantla yes if the judges put the same effort to criticize the govt on how they r not appointing enough judges the effort would have gained some traction but all you see is judges giving their personal opinion while using their chair! And whining about everything else! They are appointed to give justice in accordance to law but you see so many instances where they go beyond the book. No one keeps a check on the judiciary and they have no business formulating public opinion using their chair! Look at how much corruption there is among the judiciary in the district levels these ppl are not bothered about that!
@@saikumargorantla litigation has gone down during Covid. Judges are running virtual courts have they reduced the case load? Answer is no.
@@saikumargorantla Govt does not appoint judges, it’s a collective effort, including that of CJI.
And courts should clear their own mess first. And then the executive as well.
Wow‼️ some very bold and provocative statement since 2014
Yes, post poll violence against BJP workers in WB proves his statement. Now SC should expedite the hearing of the cases against WB Govt.

This guy is a rogue judge who preaches tall, walks small
We are fortunate to have such person as CJI for our country.
You are exceptional sir to those who has sold their mind & soul and murdered justice... Politicians will come & go but Our Bureaucracy most of them has no spine & has failed us... only hope is Our Judiciary here too infiltration has happened but we Indian have deep democratic roots which cannot be uprooted by Fascists and Racists ideology... We the people of India will defend and uphold our Constitution & democracy of our beloved Country...
Jai Hind... Jai Bharat...🇮🇳
I think he would be one of the active judge in Judicial system.
Hatsoff to you sir.. India is still intact due to fair people like you
seriously..india has ranked 69 out of 128 countries in rule of law ..if these jokers did their jobs it would have been in the top 10 even after 70 plus years of independence
Judicial Reforms are a must. 4 Crore cases are pending in the country, 30 Lakh+ cases are yet to be given a verdict sir. Let's focus on them too rather than unnecessary judicial intrusion into governance which makes our system look like a laughing stock.
In a democracy majority party rules. Law is enacted by the ruler. Simple.
Parliamentary democracy allows laws to be bulldozed by a sheer majority; democratic institutions protect the interests of minority from excesses. At least conceptually! That it is bypassed is more of an aberration than intent.
"Majority Party" however need not be a monolith. The majority party can be a diverse aggregation, and the "Minority Parties" may be a minority due to unpopularity of its principles.
@@sujaysukumar123 There is a thing called Party Whip.In matter of voting in the parliament the party in the power is a monolith.If your conscience gets the better of you, you are out on your pratt.
@@monojdas-gupta5918 - Yes, the vote itself may be enforced. However, if differences of opinion aren't heeded to repeatedly within a party, there will be an exodus of members from that party. It is a trade off the parties have to make...
Hope our judiciary withstand the assualt on democratic system and give justice to each citizen and safeguard our constitution
Judiciary needs to be accountable to the public. I find it sad that they increasingly feel their opinions are worth sharing with people, feel it is because they have lost touch with people they are supposed to serve or feel they are better (more important) than them
Elected government is much better than selected judges without merit 🙏
Well explain of rule of law
Judges should follow without thinking member of Rajya Sabha
Are you you so Good and. Human? Please don't change..
Presently India lacks rule of law... because of the failure of Supreme Court to enforce the constitution
Sir you're a God man hope you will give historical judgements and set right the democratic policies which will fill faith in people to over come there problems. Wish you all the best!
An incisive thought. 🙏
Am proud of the Hon CJI shri NV Ramana garu.. it takes conviction to speak truth ...especially to low grade criminals who enjoy unfettered power...
👏👏👏
Judicial activism, where judges want all the power without any responsibilities in a serious concern. If unelected CJI is the head of the state Indian democracy will look more like Iranian democracy then western democracies.

Judges should work to bring transparency in appointment process!!First.
CJI is a wise man.So illuminating ton hear the subtle difference between 'rule of law' vs rule by law! Equality before law requires equal justice. Where do we see this? Not in India nor in the US!
CJI is amazing
Don't get fooled by this charlatan
It's most evident in West Bengal..
A Cut the Clutter episode on this video would be highly informative.
May Allah bless and protect you justice Ramana! So glad that you're JUST! A true judge who does justice!!!
Alteast we could get rid of them in next 5 years. But what about the tyranny of the Unelected?
HE SAYS WHAT THE LAW OF THE LAND. LET'S CROSS OUR FINGERS,HE SHOULD NOT LAND AS MP IN THE PARLIAMENT
Ray of light
Good👍
The Print likes the comment by people who agrees with their agenda. Pretend to unbiased but we know where everybody stand. I give to Mr. CJI smart guy. He knows how to make liberal happy now CJI ka Ganga snan ho gaya. Now is unbiased.🙏. 👍 Next year or so SC will be like PM stupid hai MP stupid hai to kya huva wo log election jit k aaye hai. I know economics, i defence, i know infrastructure development
Yes, and slowly all libtards are hooliganizing every discussion in print videos
CJI NV RAMANA GARU, YOU ARE TWO HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT. BUT THOSE WHO ARE LIVING IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES.
👍💐👍🙏
True the message is aimed at the recent events and climate. However the final word in as in all things and Law being no exception is- courage to stand for the truth. The previous three CJIs did not show much rather one became a judge in a case against him and got himself a seat in RS, another was happy playing with dates and politicians toys ( bikes) - all friends and favours. These last three have done good deal of harm at the SC's neutrality and ability to be seen as just. All the best sir, your speech was simple but profound. Pray that you break this spell. It is equally important to have increase capacity drastically of judges by filling all vecancies and finding tech solutions for the pending and growing number of cases. .
Sitting judges are also no guarantee that justice will be done... poor judgement by judges should be reviewed by body independent of Judiciary and lawyers
At least after three slave CJI'S,people got really a Godly man to be on the proper seat.
🙏
Sir, you r right
Interesting. ThePrint has liked comments that hailed CJI as brave judge who has spine since 2014. I don't know if he is talking about TMC or BJP. Irrespective of that lately SC is venturing more and more into the adminstration. Parliament seems to be lower stature than SC. Hope they (judges) do their duties rather than simply commenting other institutions are wrong or have failed. Judges are behaving like spectators of sports complaining players are not doing their best. In this case spectators have special powers.
Hope personal bias won't come in reporting
HATS OFF CJI SIR. MOST COURGIOS MAY ALMIGHTY SAVE YOU FROM EVERY EVILS THE NATION BLESSINGS IS WITH YOU
What abt tyranny of unelected?
E.g.recent SC orders
He is a big testimony for a guy comes up to the top post with no credentials
Sir Rule of Law or Law by rule you are well learned judge.People need quick Justice reform the present legal system and correct the functioning of the courts.judiciary has become aged old attained 71 years.old looses interest and memory similarly judiciary.Supeme court is heart of judiciary set right the same
When he retire? Why, he will work as chairman of the NHRC. When he knows that people's hungry.
u hv won my heart nd soul my lord
WB is proof that elections necessarily don't bring good next. AP also proving it.
Such wise words
Very little about judicial reform!!
what about the tyranny of nominated. why is judicial appointments are opaque and are not subjected to scrutiny. is there any criteria ?
Morals are only for preaching, not practicing.
Judges have to concentrate on pending cases rather than giving free speeches.
I could not understand one phrase clearly of what the CJI is saying or what he wanted to say. I heard speeches of Ram Jethmalani and Subramanian Swamy, they were very eloquent.
mi.lord 🙏
But there is a thin line drawn between judicial activism and overreach..And judiciary is equally corrupt like executive and legislative so it's the time to reform judiciary..The best example is AP high court passed gagging order on publishing and inquiring the corruption charges on Ur own daughters Mr.Ramana ji
Because the foundation of tyranny was laid constitutionally, by giving absolute powers to Legislature making Executive as inactive. Even the Partial judiciary powers in selection of Judges?! Which is against the separation of powers. " Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely " is the strongest opinion of Montesquieu. Tyrann and corruption are twin 👭. Ex. IAF
But, all Hindi picture villains talk profound things until exposed at the end! So, Trust but verify. Most judges including common man come across as opportunistically profound and opportunistically silent. An Education that seem like practised but scheming. Good looking Laws can be sequenced to discriminate. Chronology samjiye!
Bold and honest CJI... surprised me that he is not sucking up to the SANGHI-FASCISTS
So they are going to show some spine against Mamta?
This is a positive sign, right?
So courts will guarantee that? First learn to dispose justice in a timely manner. Justice delayed is justice denial, courts have been delaying / denying justice for decades please address that.
If they don't get funds , what the fuck are they supposed to do?
Lame excuse what is your source @deadpool? Judges salary have gone up significantly in last few years. Never heard any judge complaint about staffing.
At 15:29 to 15:45, CJI is talking about whom ?
proud off andra
We need more south Indians running the country....
Yeah but not a rogue like this one
In a democracy the GOVERNMENT represents the will of the people. If some of the views of the people don’t agree with this judge he calls it tyranny.
By that logic if Abraham Lincoln says slaves must be set free, and a judge owns slaves & says that slavery is a good thing he can also argue that Lincoln is a tyrant. Absurd logic.
