The quashing of gifts case against the Present Chief Minister of Tamilnadu shows that the Court are going on ln line with the people in Government. The Madras High Court would have given the relief to Jayalalithaa. But it has sent out a wrong signal to the pople at large that whatever the wrong commiitted by the individuals could go with the time provided that individual should come to power either as Chief Minister or Miniser . Really the madras high court has made a fun as judgment stating that the judge of the high court has come to a mind that the prosecution could not say the reasons for delay in completing the investigation. If this is a case, how many ordinary individuals have been allowed to go scot free from the crime committed in either in tamilnadu or India as a whole. Therefore , what it indicates to the society is that if the persons indicted is powerful and also takes revenge in wholesaleway taking the law machinery in their hands , the courts will go stooping its position. . The courts should not behave like one more executive to selective persons fearing life threatening . Atleast the case in Karnataka should not take a lead from Madras High Court. We may hope to the extent alone.
