What Does The Supreme Court Needs To Work On


We all are aware that the Supreme Court is the most SUPREME in our country and that is where many of the landmark judgements are made. Since there is a lot of cases which are very tough to handle by the lower courts are sent to the Supreme Court (Hereafter referred as SC or Suspended Capacity). What the SC does is to stay on the files as long as possible till one of the judges wakes up from his hibernation and delivers a verdict. This verdict is always reported by the media as a “Landmark judgement”. Looking for examples: The Salman Khan case.

What has this landmark judgement (henceforth referred to as LJ or Lazy Juggernaut) means to a common man is “DUH”. Perhaps with some more judgements on the 2G spectrum case, the National Herald case the common man is going to have much more powerful opinion and reaction such as “Hmmmp” or “Cha”. So in order to restore faith in the system, it is highly recommended that the SC leaves all its current cases such as “Who needs to enter Sabarimala temple” or “Should Congress be given the leader of opposition party status” and start delivering LJs on things which affect the common man.

So here are a few items which if the SC can consistently deliver LJ, then the common man would react with a “WoW” reaction.

  • The maximum weight of a school going kid’s bag should not exceed 5 Kgs, which includes 2 kgs for lunch.
  • Only 3 potholes are allowed for every 1 KM of road (MAIN ROADS) and 5 potholes for every 0.5 KMS of normal roads
  • OMR road & Silk Board traffic jams to be named as Major Tourists Attractions in Madras & Bangalore respectively.
  • Maximum of 5 TASMAC shops only possible within 3 KMs radius of any Primary school, if not present then the government needs to act promptly in setting them up (I meant the SCHOOL you stupid)
  • In IT companies, employees must be able to take at least one WHFIP (Work from Home if Possible) per week.
  • No more than Rs.30 to be charged extra than what the Auto Meter shows for one way travel (only applicable for Madras)
  • Every person should be able to book a weekend ticket via IRCTC site at least once a month.
  • No SOAP serials to go more than 220 episodes in a calendar year, only 2 sequels allowed at the MAX.
  • Judges in all the reality talent shows must have had at least 1 year of formal training in the area of expertise.
  • Arnab Goswami to allow all his panellist to at least finish one sentence without interrupting during the course of the debate.

Well these are a few which will really help the common man to know that the SC is working for us and really delivering LJs for us. In the meantime, they can also work on closing a case filed during the Indus Valley Civilisation by one of the cavemen that the chieftain of his tribe has misappropriated 1.76 Lakhs rock pillars and claimed it as a Zero Loss to the tribe.
