Re: [HumJanenge] FYI : "Former CJI Mr KG Balakrishnan became Chairman NHRC" with unethical act of Dr Manmohan Singh Mr Arun Jaitley & Smt Sushma Swaraj...

Actually the post of chairman NHRC is reserved for former CJIs as a carrot by the govt. Otherwise what is the need for such stringent provisions. Actually it looks like only the CJI immediately on retirement can be appointed. This is an idiotic law that needs to be changed. Of course, whether the NHRC has been effective, even to some modicum effect, at all is itself a million dollar question. Propriety demands that all judges of teh apex court and high court should be debarred from taking up any other job after retirement. It should also be applicable to senior bureaucrats- say joint secretary to GoI and above. Even the army leadership have been compromised by the offer of post retirement rehabilitation in Raj Bhavans and Indian embassies abroad to General officers.

Dear friends, It would be better to be choosy and careful about charging every one (including the on'ble President or Hon'ble Prime Minister) in our Country.  The rules of recuitment for the post of NHRC appears to be protocal that the ex-CJI only should be filled with this post.   If that is so the Prime Minister & President should initiate action to make the choice wider like recruiting other suitable and eminent persons also to be considered, thereby an allegation to the Selector can be avoided.  It is also difficult to accuse the selectors to have indulged in favouritism, if the choice left to them is a single individual.  If he is not selected, there are people who will be affected by lack of a NHRC to take care of excess committed on them.  Unless we are sure and there is enough evidence to prove that the selectors or approvers had the pre-knowledge of any malafide activity on the part of the candidate, it would not be vice to blame them.   However, the concerned authority is undertaking the investigation and if there is proof enough either way, the law should take its own course.  If inspite of evidence the law does not act, the certainly it become favouritism.  It is hoped that justice not only will be done but should also appear to hae been done.  Regards, dwarakanathdm,nbca

Dear all,

You mention that you have protested to President about appointment of KGB   as NHRC Chairman. Is it not ironic and at the same time extremely intriguing since the person/  authority whom you have protested herself,despite having criminal background, is occupying that position by virtue of having been immunised by appointment to that post?. As much as KGB's sons & other relatives are  understood to be involved in possessing disproportionate assets
so also are president's husband and son involved in land grabing  (Even after she has become president). By the very logic KGB can be apponted as President to immunise him from present criminal background/stalemate ! In effect both are 'qualified' in height of wrong doings enough to be tied to the same bullock Cart! !

 I apologize if I have erred in my observation or offended any one

Dear All,

This has reference to the media news:

"The NHRC chief must resign"


I requested Dr Manmohan Singh Mr Arun Jaitley & Smt Sushma Swaraj not to go ahead with it.

My protest in this regard to Smt Pratibha Patil is placed below which is in public domain. (http://tiny.cc/0n6hi).

Why Mr K G Balakrishnan is NHRC Head is because of morally corrupt politicians at the highest level in the country.

Someone should ask those three why do they knowingly indulge in arbitrary & illegal act violating Constitution of India.

Regards,

Dear Sirs / Madam,

This has reference media news and the  valid objections that I filed - placed below.

If Dr Ambomani Ramadoss, as Union Health Minister, could get the law (AIIMS Bill) enacted by the Parliament, get it approved by the President of India & also get it implemented that too everything in a single day to remove Dr Venugopal as Director, AIIMS, New Delhi, I see no reason why the NHRC Act, requiring amendment & agreed to by the UPA Govt, could not be & cannot be amended expeditiously to allow other former CJIs also to be considered for the post of Chairperson, NHRC?

Further, if the post can remain vacant for one year, it can very well remain vacant for one more week or one more month till the NHRC Act is amended and heaven will not fall but, when Opposition Leaders in Rajya Sabha & Lok Sabha are not convinced of the selection of Mr K G Balakrishnan because only one name is proposed for consideration, why should they put self-imposed constraints on themselves and accept the situation as fait accompli?

Why should the Opposition Leaders in Rajya Sabha & Lok Sabha take the promise of the Prime Minister at face value when no time limit for amending NHRC Act is promised & particularly considering the rampant dishonesty that the UPA Govt has displayed in Corporate Governance? Is there any sanctity in the promise of the Prime Minister?

Moreover, while the reasonably longer term of five-year for NHRC Head is advisable, why it cannot be reduced permanently to four years?

And, because of the unexplained reluctance to amend NHRC Act, why should anyone be appointed at this highly crucial key position if the Selection Committee does not find the person suitable? Why should he be imposed upon the Nation of 120 Crore people? How can he be then expected to do justice to the job of protecting the human rights of the citizens?

I fail to understand as to why you people are hell bent upon knowingly & intentionally want to violate the fundamental human right of equality in the appointment of the Chairperson of National Human Rights Commission?   

What sort of precedence are you trying to set for future generation to follow? 

Would you consider it your moral duty to explain it to the citizens whom you are supposed to serve well with integrity of your actions intact?


Regards,

New Delhi: Retired Chief Justice of India (CJI) KG Balakrishnan will be the new chairman of the national human rights commission (NHRC).

A meeting of the selection committee chaired by prime minister Manmohan Singh cleared his name on Tuesday night.

But the appointment came with a rider for the government.

BJP's Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley, who are members of the selection panel being opposition leaders in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, are reported to have expressed concern that they did not have much choice since the government proposed only Balakrishnan's name.

They consented only when the government agreed to consider amending the NHRC Act to include persons other former CJIs.

BJP is of the view that the Act should be amended as it limits the scope of selection and does not provide many options to selectors.

It provides that a former CJI alone is entitled to become NHRC chairman for five years, or till s/he retires at 70, whichever is less.

The Act says if a retiring chief justice is not immediately appointed NHRC chairman, s/he will never have a full tenure of five years.

It is because of these flaws in the Act that NHRC was without a chairman for more than a year. The government was opposed to the appointment of former CJI YK Sabharwal, who retired three years ago.

Sources told DNA the government had sent Balakrishnan's file for presidential approval. He will perhaps be the first chairman to hold the post for full five years. He retired as CJI on May 12.

 Dear All,
I see no reason why BJP should feel helpless and approve one name proposed by UPA Govt. Why can the NHRC Act not amended to allow other ex CJI to be considered for Chairperson NHRC?
