Dear Sharma, I still have more faith in our judiciary and I have not completely lost it yet. However, this particular judgement appeared inconsistent with the earlier stands by SC. When 2.5 lakhs of Govt. employees were suspended (punished, forget paying salary)by Ex CM of Tamil Nadu Ms. Jayalaitha, I admired her courage and the steadfastness of SC. When a few AIIMS doctors went on strike, causing inconvenience to patients, how can the SC suggest payment be done for the days they did not work. Political parties Cong, BJP, DMK, AIADMK may keep changing their stands. May be they are evolving. AIADMK leaders MGR and Jayalalitha may have called for state sponsoered bandh. They had certainly gone on fasting when they were CM. If a SC Judge makes statements like what is quoted based on the opposition party's lawer's contentions, we may have a serious problem. The party that is filing these charges is known to use all kinds of delaying tactics when dealing with the courts. As much as others should respect Judiciary, democratically elected Chief Ministers' have to be respected. Some of the hatred comments seen all over here about current Tamil Nadu CM only shows hatred and insecurity and uncivilized behaviour. As much as for the SC Judges, Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers have to be respected for the position they hold. When we say no one is above law, I suppose it includes the Judges as well.
