JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE

            JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE Is a judgement similar to justice? This is a big question . Is justice also delivered when a judgement is delivered? Or is it possible that a judgement may be devoid of justice? All such questions are less legal and more philosophical . These questions involve technical versus ideological status. Judgement is what has been been done and justice is what ought to be done. Judgement is not inherently justice. It may or may not contain justice, it may or may not deliver justice. These are well recognized positions in modern times and so institutions have been devised and evolved in modern times in forms of appeal, revision and review. If judgment is a synonym of justice what should be the purpose of appeals, revisions and reviews?

Wheneve we disturb this setting our social set up wrecks and breaks. A person and her persona may be very important , may be so important that the entire system is redefined by that person  but even then that person and persona can hold it's preeminent position only when the system exists ans functions welk according to the cardinal principles. Hence it's the system which is more important than the person.      Does it mean that the system is more important than the freedom of individual and is it prudent in the interest of society to forfeit the individual freedom? The answer is emphatic no. In reality individual freedom is the sole guaranter of existence of rational system. When individual has freedom to grow as the desired value of that system , the system gets st...
