RIP JUDICIARY

The Vice Chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Ms Dhulipudi Pandit, referring to bail given to Teesta Setalwad, said, “The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court opened the court on Saturday at night to give bail to Teesta Setalwad. Will it do the same for us?”

I want to assure Ms Pandit that it will never happen to a common citizen of India, regardless of the ecosystems prevailing in various institutions in the country.

Our judiciary is for, of and by RIP (Rich, Influential and Powerful) litigants/lawyers. The common man can never even imagine getting justice in the quickest of time, and in any case, by the time he gets justice, the justice itself would become meaningless.
