Is this the same supreme court that suggested/ ordered the Central Government to pay the salary for the AIIMS doctors that striked work? The wordings make one wonder if the comments were from a distinguished judge or from a willing ally of the AIADMK

May be you should read the judgement before replying. "No work no pay is not always right" is how the SC verdict read. It seems like it should depend on who was on strike.

Govt. can say what it feels. SC is supposed to tell the law as it is applicable to everyone. If what Govt. says is always right, we don't need a SC. SC can't change it stand on this
it is really surprising that u think that our politicians r honest and judiciary is corrupt. judiciary also has some corruption, but our politicians r very corrupt, selfish and opportunists.
there r many instances of corrupt practices of mk. one of them was sacking a central minister, bcoz he was bold enough to say against a tv program owned by his relative.
why did he not support dr kalam, who was from tn itself, for presidency instead of supporting a lady with dubious past and strange present, who talks to ghosts? mk says he is rationalist, still he supported such a lady.

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.
i feel that no one should say anything against the sc. otherwise, i don't know what will happen in the country. there may b good or bad judgements. there may b some corrupt judges also. some judgments r good for some and bad for some. it also depends on what facts r put on the table by the lawyers. as is said the justice is blind. bcoz it depends on the proof. that is the reason many hi fi corrupt and criminals get free due to lack of proof.
