[Reader-list] CJ's visit to Karachi - Day 2 30.07.08

[radhikarajen at vsnl.net]

Dear Yasir,

    perhaps the words of Winston Churchill were apt when he said that these men of straw do not value their freedom.?

    Just as in Pakistan, judiciary is also failing the system with handpicked men and women filling the chair, to be politically correct, judicially incorrect in most of the judgements like in recently decided case of child abuse in Bombay High court where prosecution was not vehement enough in view of the high profile lawyers for defence of the pheadophiles, judges seem to be easily swayed to overlook the evidence for reasons best known to them, and any comment would easily be hit back with contempt cases.

   A society where moral and ethical standards are touching new low, none can expect judges to be of higher calibre than the individuals in the society in discharge of the duties in the system. Favouritism in postings of positions in posts like Director of CBi for extraneous reasons, CBI being autonomous premier investigation agency, judges elevated to higher court for favourable judgements in political  and sensitive cases without impartial approach has become a point to air concern that afterall, sub  continent has only "men of straw" who can sell their mothers for a right amount of material wealth.!

  Regards.
