I do not know about the composition of the SC benches nor the way these benches function. However, I expect justice not only to be done but seen to be done also. Why this double standard by the SC? Just imagine ordinary mortals like us defying the SC court even for one day (forget one year!). We would be put behind the bars without trial.
In Kannada there is a saying, "Gubbi mele Brahmastave? SC is fit only to shoot the most powerful weapon on the sparrows, and not Karunanidhis.
