I will come to the rationale of this Bill subsequently. But, I would like to make two initial observations, at the very outset. We all have the highest respect for the institution of judiciary. We all fully trust in the independence, in the integrity of the great institution of judiciary. Speaking for us, I would like to share with this House that many of us in our earlier student days’ activism, have fought for the independence of judiciary. I am referring to seventies when there was a strain and stress on independence of judiciary, when there was a strain and stress on individual freedom and also on the freedom of the Press. I am very assured to share with this House that many Members of the present Government including hon. the Prime Minister himself have been in the forefront of that struggle which was basically designed to ensure the independence of judiciary, the media freedom and the individual freedom.
