RE:SETHUSAMUDRAM ISSUE
by radhakrishnan on Aug 04, 2008 02:49 PM

NO ONE IS ABOVE LAW.IN DEMOCRACY WE HAVE TO RESPECT LAW & FOR THIS THE APEX COURT IS ENTRUSTED THE ONEROUS TASK OF STATING/interpreting
THE LAW AS ENSHRINED IN OUR CONSTITUTION.It is an accepted view that the judiciary -pronouncements are to be respected & followed by all & if their judgement is not acceptable the agrieved party can file an application for a review of the judgement.IN constitution there is no provision to disobey the orders of the courts.Our courts are lenient & at times do not want to rub the politicians on the wrong side.This leniency is taken as a weakness.It is unacceptable. True democracy will not survive if court orders are disobeyed.Judicial verdicts should be free from pride & prejudice, free from fear & favour,Free from malice & illwill.Unless Judiciary spell their opinion boldly & effectively in accordance with the letter & spirit of the constitution,it would be construed as a failure of democracy.M.Ps & MLAs have to be told unmistakeably that laws are to be obeyed.The President & the Prime minister should try to see that our judiciary is respected by all, especially by those who are entrusted to rule.The media should take up this issue & educate the people of the wrong-doings of men holding high offices under our constitution.
