The press conference addressed by four SC judges has thrown up a number of questions. Though the judicial propriety is a constraining factor, one feels that the four have done a service to the nation by bringing to its notice the rot setting in higher judiciary. Be that as it may, citizens are dismayed to note that its thin veneer of infallibility stands breached. The credibility of the SC as an institution has suffered. To a gleeful ruling establishment, this is nothing short of a welcome gift. In this scenario, even our democracy stands exposed to the aggressive designs of poachers.
