Law Commission member flags ‘activist judges’ lobby with politically motivated agenda New Delhi, Aug 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Senior advocate and member of the 23rd Law Commission of India, Hitesh Jain, has sharply criticised a section of retired judges and lawyers for what he described as “political activism under the garb of judicial independence”. Reacting to recent interviews by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Abhay Oka -- who also signed a statement defending retired Justice Sudershan Reddy (Vice-Presidential candidate of the Opposition) -- Jain said the development was part of a “larger trend” where ex-judges increasingly resemble “political activists” rather than neutral commentators on the judiciary.

I hate TEAMS. It doesn’t like my Mac or iPad and is so clunky compared to Zoom. Had to re-log in to the #LawCommission consultation on Burial and Crenation 4 times! Am I just a dinosaur?
