No faith in judiciary

After reading Justice Abhay M Thipsay’s interview with a national news paper, aam admi not shocked or surprised to his version that the High Court must exercise its powers of revision, even suo-motu if necessary, to

relook at the Sohrabuddin Shaikh alleged fake encounter case. After waiting for such line from a learned judge, who earlier handling the case, do one need any proof further? One wonders that how Judge Thipsay forget that India’s top political duo prime minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah know very well how to make a castle out of bricks thrown at them, and how they can turn their own shortcomings to advantage, not only the political fields but also in the court of law. Under such circumstances whether Modi’s clean image from SIT, even after his failure in ‘Rajadharma’ during 2002 Gujarat pogrom or Amit Shah after the Apex court order ‘no entry’ in Gujarat for a year on the fake encounter case, only expose that if you are powerful and mighty anything can be done and to implicate whomsoever police, bureaucrat, investigative officer, even judges (with due respect to judiciary) also dance to the tunes of the government. Hope to restore the faith on judiciary, after the stricture in his interview, Ex-judge Thipsay aggrieved that the way several high-profile accused in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh fake encounter case were discharged, the “absurd” inconsistencies in the legal process, clearly indicated the “failure of justice and of the justice delivery system”, may be corrected and guilty must be punished. — Bidyut Kumar Chatterjee
