“All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary”. Andrew Jackson For any society to develop and progress there has to be equity and justice for all. Especially when we are concerned with a country like India, which is one of the largest democracies in the world the issue needs even more attention. Judiciary is that organ of the system, which as is known provides justice to the citizens is also responsible for the overall development of the society. It is this organ, which keeps a check on malpractices, misadministration and irresponsive actions of the government and administration in one way or the other. However, the problem arises when this organ is infected with the viruses of corruption, professional deviance and maladministration. The issues of white-collar crime in judiciary have been neglected and overlooked since long time. This issue if not tackled sooner might not only spread injustice but also unrest and disbelief in the very soul of the judicial system. We need to first identify the extent, cause and depth of the problem. It is only after this that we shall be able to bring reforms to clean the judiciary of this virus. And to ensure a healthy and righteous development of the society it necessary to ensure that our judiciary remains clean, efficient and effective. As rightly said "While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them. From Such attachment comes Lust, then anger, illusion, bewilderment of memory and loss of intelligence, and then one falls down into the material cycle of birth and death" - - Bhagavad Gita In this paper analysis of probable causes of rise in white-collar criminality in judiciary, steps that can be taken to control the same and certain suggestions that can be implemented to make judiciary clean and accountable shall be discussed.
