From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
the situation gets murkier and murkier. The SC appears badly compromised. Or the SC is having severe internal communication issues. Maybe another press conference is required to set the SC right. It is entirely possible that all judges do not think alike, however these are matters of extreme importance to the nation and the common man. Interpretation of statements cannot be allowed to mar judgments – especially in this age of digital communication and the possibility of clarification of remarks. Looks disgraceful
Speaking as a lay person, some things stand out. Shri Alok Verma served for forty years in the IPS without blemish. The major complaint against him came from a colleague who had a grudge against him, who the Delhi High Court has ruled yesterday should be probed by the CBI for corruption. The decision to divest him of his powers, based on the CVC’s hurried recommendation was struck down by the apex court. Any report drafted by the CVC – whom the Court did not trust fully, hence the association of Justice Patnaik with the exercise – ought to have been viewed a little sceptically. In any case, the CVC wanted some allegations to be examined further, either through a departmental enquiry or a criminal investigation. Nothing stood proved against Mr Verma. True, a person in such a sensitive post ought to be Mrs Caesar, but he was retiring in three weeks. His functioning had been curtailed by the Court. Allowing him to complete his tenure would have been the graceful thing to do. Issues flagged by the CVC could have been enquired into impartially even later.
