Recent events have shown a consistent wave of criticism against the Judiciary, particularly the Apex Court and the Chief Justice. This war has been spearheaded by a few senior legal practitioners, and indeed, there are several petitions presented to the Judicial Service Commission seeking the removal of several judges and the entire Supreme Court bench.
The focus of this article is, however, not on the leading proponents of the fight but a challenge on grounds of the criticism and the proposed remedy of the removal of Supreme Court judges, or indeed any other judge. The judiciary is not immune to criticism as with any other arm of government in the constitutional design of our country.
