SC Judge contradicts former CJI on Raja issue

 

Supreme Court judge HL Gokhale on Tuesday slammed former Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan for claiming that he (Balakrishnan) never received any letter from Madras High Court judge Justice R Raghupathy in which the name of former telecom minister A.Raja was mentioned.


On December 8, Justice Balakrishnan, who is now Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, had told reporters that he had not received any letter from the HC Judge, Justice R Regupathi. Also, the then HC Chief Justice Gokhale had not mentioned the name of Raja in his communication, the former CJI had maintained.


Better the truth comes out soon as it would send a wrong signal to one and all on the judiciary.

It is not a hidden fact that appointments are now politically motivated and there is tendancy to favour persons who are in power and in the position to oblige . Nothing new but it is a sad affair which goes  to drag the progress and independent and impartial status,  not only of Judicial system but the entire system of the country. So believe in God and hope for better tomorrow.
