And, unlike the US, India is the only "democracy" that has an unelected judiciary. The collegium is a joke and just because of it, the SC doesn't even deserve any respect till they scrap it. They are not legislators, and they do not have the powers of legislation, but behave like they do at times. Honestly, the governments (all of them) have been rather stupid on this front and haven't taken any necessary action. These things are far easier to fix than people think, but as you said, it's probably because they're firing certain rounds off each others shoulders. It's high time, the judiciary get indigenized instead of continuing in the British behaviour and spirit they were created in. The fact that the SC only operates in 'English' is actually the biggest shame on themselves (enough for them to go and drown in "chullu bhar pani". Despite whatever they're doing, they continue to remain a joke. I'd like to see a private company work with the same records and survive as an organization.
