In a sting operation in 2004 some journalists got a magistrate in Gujarat to issue arrest warrants against the President and Chief Justice of India. The magistrate has since been suspended for two years. Last week an angry Supreme Court asked the journalists to applogise for bringing the entire judiciary into disrepute. A three bench court headed by the Chief Justice said a rare mistake was blown out of proportion to tarnish the image of the judiciary in the minds of the public. The Court also pointed out that a magistrate handles 200 cases everyday and an occasional mistake is pardonable. With respect I would like to point out to the Honb'l Court that the Indian public does not consist of imbeciles who will be swayed by just one case of sensational journalism. Instead we realise that justice is only for politicians, the wealthy and the connected. Apparently over 30 million cases are pending in Indian courts, some for decades. 90% of cases relate to property disputes which drag on for years because lawyers keep on getting continuations and judges keep on agreeing. I have rejected countless requests for false medical certificates to people who wanted to avoid court appearances. If judges became stricter and started handing out ex parte judgements against aggressors and corrupt lawyers 90% of work will disappear. May I humbly suggest that the Honb'l Court put its house in order. You, sir, will have to decide where the buck stops.
