New Chief Justice
by Dr. K. Malick on Dec 22, 2006 07:18 PM

While congratulating our Chief Justice, it is odd to read the headline that he belongs to a certain community. Did the media mention the community when Hon'ble justice Sabbarwala was appointed as the CJ of our country ? Certainly not. Then, why now ? I wonder if the media want to denigrade or elevate somebody by mentioning the community ? Or, is it merely to play in the hands of certain political parties ? Surely, the present CJ has come up through sheer merit, honesty and hardwork. These attributes transcend place of birth, caste, creed and colour. Why can't the media accept it ?
Let us congratulate our Hon'ble new CM and may Lord give him strength and perception to protect our judiciary and democracy which are being mishandled in recent years.
Dr. K. Mallick
