Rajya Sabha member and former Chief Justice of India and Ranjan Gogoi has criticised the judiciary, saying if one goes to Indian courts they would have to wait endlessly for a verdict, reported India Today.
“If you go to court, you don’t get a verdict, all you do is wash your dirty linen,” Gogoi said at an India Today Conclave East on Thursday. He also said that the judiciary in India is in a “ramshackled” state.
“How important the judiciary is as a constitutional body need not be emphasised,” Gogoi said. “You want a 5 trillion-dollar economy, but your judiciary is ramshackled.”

In a letter, posted on her Twitter account, Moitra said being an ordinary citizen of this country , she neither asked for nor wants such protection.
The letter addressed to the Delhi Police Commissioner, SN Shrivastava, and Barakhamba Road police station SHO said three armed BSF officers with assault rifles were posted outside her house on February 13, after the SHO of Barakhamba Road met her.
The standard of national discourse has become such that speaking the truth is seen as "a revolutionary act", Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra told NDTV on Thursday about her fiery speech in parliament this week that has drawn controversy and kudos alike.

New Delhi:
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra faces a privilege motion over her remarks in parliament on a former Chief Justice of India, in an apparent rethink after the government earlier indicated it would not pursue any action.
Sources say the ruling BJP decided to proceed with the motion after Mahua Moitra shared video clips on Wednesday of her controversial remarks in the Lok Sabha. PP Chowdhary, a former Minister of State for Law, put in the request for privilege motion. Later, another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, also did so.
