Law Minister act fast to save the system

I have been following electronic and print media reports on the Bhopal gas tragedy. I find contradictions (viewed by many others also) in the statements of Justice Ahmadi. His role has been disastrous. Law minister Moilyi's criticism of judiciary will not suffice the purpose. It is an open secret that some judges are susceptible to influences for reasons unfolding more frequently in recent times. The Law Minister must bring legislations to save the system without losing time on the following counts:-
1. Absolute transparent Appointment of judges-restoration of original constitutional position.
2. Amendments regarding doing away with impeachment provision at all for all specified posts. Because in today's advanced age it has become anachronistic.
When this impractical immunity is not extended to Governor,top dignitaries, bureaucrats and some other constitutional post holders, there is no point in keeping this in the law book.
3. Constitution of Disciplinary committee having members of intelligentsia from press, academics,bar,judiciary and politics etc.
4.Evaluation at regular intervals.
5.Elaborate code of conducts aimed at strengthening integrity, impartiality and fairness.
6.Prompt action mechanism on public grievances
7. Rigorous pre-entry verification of conduct, character,skills and psychological aptitude-suitability.
8.Steps for programming of judgment-delivery system that ensures transparency and to fair extent predictability based on facts and law.
9. At least 33% of judges be transferred to outside high courts.
10. Amendment to Contempt of Court Act
These are some of the points which may be acted upon.
I am sure if judiciary functions in a way which commands trust and respect of the poor people the rot in politics and bureaucracy can be checked effectively.
