Justice V R Krishna Iyer: Man who rescued SupremeCourt from supreme shameHarish Salve | Dec 5, 2014, 06.35AM IST
Justice V R Krishna Iyer has passed on to the other world. He scored a century. He was unwell inbody al though his spirit was, as always, indomitable.
And yet, I cannot shake off a deep sense of grief. My generation, who learned from him of whatthe Supreme Court was all about, considered his body as well as his soul and his wisdom to beimmortal.
Some eminent lawyers of the generation before us had mixed feelings about the man who led therevolution in jurisprudence which helped a thenfloundering Supreme Court find its identity . Hechallenged the status quo and thus had his share of critics and followers. The gen next has hisjudgments to read. For my generation, he was the architect of the Supreme Court, postEmergency . As Professor Upendra Baxi said, from the Supreme Court of India he made it theSupreme Court for Indians. He defined fundamental rights as well as charters of freedom, not justto acquire and hold wealth, but freedom from poverty and misery . He ensured that the hesitationin reading due process into Article 21 was dispelled. The foundation for a whole jurisprudencewas laid by reading Article 14 as a charter against nonarbitrariness.

By refusing an outright stay on the verdict setting aside Indira Gandhi's election, he showed thathowever high and mighty you are, the rules of the game do not change. The bar for future judgeswas set very high! This was what may be called the Krishnaiyerisation of Indian jurisprudence.
He rescued the Supreme Court from the supreme shame of the Shivkant Shukla judgment (in1976, Justices P N Bhagwati, A N Ray ,YV Chandrachud and M H Beg agreed with the thenIndira Gandhi government that even the right to life stood abrogated during the Emergency inADM Jabalpur vs Shivkant Shukla case). The verdict constitutes one of the darkest chapters in thehistory of the court as it struck at the very heart of fundamental rights. It was a judgment that puta question mark on the credibility of the institution. If detention even on a mistaken identity wasnot amenable habeas corpus, and a detenu lacked the locus to question his own detention, thenwe could as well wind up the Supreme Court and the high courts as well. Post Emergency , theKrishna Iyer jurisprudence breathed new , life into what was seen as a listless institution. SupremeCourt today stands tall and is ! the most powerful institution of its kind in the world and its workhas shown that it is sui generis. India needs such a court even if other countries do not have orneed such a court. That other similar institutions do not do what our court does did not deterKrishna Iyer from redesigning constitutional remedies to address constitutional aberrations.

Justice Iyer wrote in a style that has been the envy of not just other jurists but also students ofEnglish literature. There was a flow a natural ease even if he used words like jejune that neededa dictionary to decode. He coined words too and powerful ones at that.
Justice Iyer was spiritually highly evolved. He believed in the immortality of the soul. I had theprivilege of conversations with him on communicating with those on the other side. I take comfortin the thought that he will, from the other side, continue to guide us as he did earlier. On apersonal note, my tribute to his passing on will be to honor his beliefs I am sure he saw death asColeridge describes it: "..Greatness and goodness are not means but ends ! Hath he not alwaystreasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, love, light, And calm thoughts,regular as infants' breath: And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, hismaker and the angel death."(The writer is former Solicitor General of India.)

Many a requiem have said about Late Justice Krishna Iyer and rightly so. A fearless,dedicated judge lived his life to full. But at the same time we must remember Justice Sinhaof Allahabad high court who dared to convict Indira Gandhi and Justice Iyer followed itup.End of an era with Justice Iyer demise. RIP

The writer has done a great job by bringing forth this well deserved obituary to our greatJustice of the Supreme Court, V.K.Krishna Iyer. RIP Krishna Iyer has done great service toour people by boldly facing strong opposition and criticism in amending the laws to protectpoor innocent people facing charges due to benefit of doubt. Really he has saved ourSupreme Court's prestige and pride that it enjoys today due to the contributions of suchselfless people.

A great man of unfailing honesty and courage. I remember that this great Indian receivedthe highest honor of appreciation from the World Society of Victimology. Prof. Dr.Chockalingam at that time President of the Indian Society of Victimology and I traveledwith him from Chennai to the 1991 International Symposium on Victimology in Adelaide,South Australia where he received the expression of deep respect and appreciation of thisinternational forum. I never will forget the open and courageous critique on the military way"to bring peace to the Punjab" in his speech in Chennai. A great philosopher and judge India is rightly proud of him.

His classic judgement came in 1978 (Bangalore Water Works) redefining the labor laws(industrial Disputes Act) when he exhorted 'Let us trade romanticies with realities' ruling thatan employee of an University, a hospital or a Madras Gymkhana is entitled for all thebenefits if a set of guidelines to prove employee status were fulfilled.

KINDHEARTED PERSON :It is very sad to hear the demise of Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer. His concern for the poormade him really the ‘rarest of the rare’ Judge. He was also a prolific writer. The nation willremember him for ever for his contribution to the legal profession and his kindheartedness.S. Ramakrishnasayee, Ranipet.

Yes he was a committed Comi judge and upset the whole principle of natural justice butaking a U turn and writing in favour of reservations in promotions also for reservationcategory. With his well known background his atrocious stand on river disputes isunpardonable. Sorry I differ from the encomiums paid.

Well said.Although Krishna Iyer has earned all praise after he turned 100 tears on15.11.2014,he was in politics and even contested for Prez post in India,which clearly showshis desire for power and fame.May be he had delivered land mark judgments during histenure as CJI,however the dirty politics/corruption/partisan attitude have all crept in thejudiciary system.Many CJI have come and retired or expired.But the SC of India has tarnished its image insome of the judgments delivered in civil/criminal cases involving powerful politicians and Bizmen in IndiaIntelligent Chief Justices are born in India,but they stoop and cow down to politicalpressures

Even people like Krishna Iyer liked to be active politicians.His desire to become Prez ofIndia shows his greediness to acquire fame.Even if CJI like KI come year after year,or judicial system will never improve as ruling part"sinfluence prevails in India on judiciary

And yet, I cannot shake off a deep sense of grief. My generation, who learned from him ofwhat the Supreme Court was all about, considered his body as well as his soul and hiswisdom to be immortal.
