Most Indians and some Supreme Court Judges and Parliament Members are CONFUSED or prejudiced.
Indian Parliament is SUPREME because they are ANSWERABLE and ACCOUNTABLE to 1,166,079,217 (July 2009 est.) Indian Citizens. Supreme Court is SECONDARY, because they are only ANSWERABLE to the LITIGANTS.
Democratic Nations have the following setup. PLAN - Parliament DO - Administration EXECUTES as per PLAN CHECK - Judiciary CORRECTS Administration (NOT Parliament) as per PLAN
* Supreme Court should NOT create/review/refine/rewrite any LAW. * Supreme Court should NOT solve your KASHMIR problem, * Supreme Court should NOT decide your INCOME TAX rates, * Supreme Court should NOT decide the CORRECT train fare rate in India.
Parliament decides the SALARIES of Supreme Court Judges. Supreme Court Judges do NOT decide the SALARIES of Parliament Members.
At present, RAM JETHMALANI and PRANAB MUKHERJEE in India are EXPERTS in interpreting the PRACTICAL applications of Indian Constitution.
This is a ridiculous provision of law. The person concerned is a public representative and it makes him or her obligated to declare his or her financial assets.
But what obligation a spouse has to declare his or her financial assets? This is stupid Election Commission and judiciary's overenthusiasm ignoring the basics of law of natural justice etc.
Is the spouse obligated to the commissions and omissions of the elected representative in his or her public duties?
This provision surmises that the elected representatives will not only acquire illicit wealth but also keep that illgotten wealth in the names of their spouses and relatives.
It is perfectly possible that the elected representative may not even know all the financial assets details of his or her spouse. Financial ownership is independent of marital relationships.
If an elected representative has married 3 or 4 times do you think that the spouse of that elected representative is going to presume that all his or her properties also belong to that spouse?
This is utter stupidity just like banning discussions on exit polls.
All these ministers are showing & declaring their assets by affidavit. It's just an insult of the court & all general public. In Mumbai I think General Higher Middle class Person has an asset worth 50 lakhs to 1.5 crores. So all these ministers are declaring only that much ? how it is possible ? In 5 years term without any expenditure ( we very well know that all these ministers never pay electricity or telephone bills ), and assuming a minimum 10k salary per month, ( 10000 x 12 x 5 = 60,00,000 interest .. .. ? ) all these congress ministers are in power for more than 10 - 15 years in ministry so each should have minimum assets worth 2 crores, so why make us fools

Remember an affidavit submitted by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, of Assets worth less than 5 crores, having their family in Prime ministership since 1947 for more than 50 years and she declares only crores instead of trilions ?
