Chief Justice of IndiaBy: surya praksh ,Hyderabad | Thursday , 30 Jul '09 16:39:37 PM Reply | Forward J.S.Verma one of the most oustanding personalities in judicial World, his comments on C.B.I really laudable.Unfortunately in India ,main pillars of Society like Legislative,Excutery,Judiciary and fourth estate media are failed to deliver the goods.All three systems are puppets under hands of politicians....Politicians are meant for injustice,corruption and nepotism...sadly politicians are governing C.B.I..It became such an institution to take revenges opposition parties, C.B.I is filled top to bottom with police officers who are in nexes with politicians some of the C.B.I directors joined in political parties for thier existance.It's time for judiciary to express freely to fight to bring legislation to function autonomously to punish criminals as well top most politicians.It must function like watch dog to eradicate evils in society.Thanks to Sheker Guptha to bring such an excellent legend of judiciary.

Very poor transcriptBy: Karthik | Friday , 8 May '09 9:28:59 AM Reply | Forward Dear editor,It was great that you had such a distinguished guest on the show. But how could you prepare transcripts so badly. Isn't the content edited before it is published?

JUDICIARY MISINFORMEDBy: B.N.Mandhar | Thursday , 7 May '09 0:39:01 AM Reply | Forward Like politicians our juduciary has failed by and large but the pace of fall is slow. Supreme Court failed when Congress oriented 'reservation' policy soacked in communal color defying Art 15(NO DISCRIMINATE ON GROUNDS OF RELIGION CASTE)of Constitution was brought before it many times.The fault lies with Supreme Court who did not care to verify authenticity of basis on which 'reservation' was based by Baba Sahib BECAUSE HOME DEPTT.ORDER OF JUNE,1943 WAS HIDDEN FROM SCRUTINY OF HON'BLE SUPREME COURT. The order said(i)Govt decided to grant 8 1/3 % reservation to SC/ST based on MANDAL COMMISSION, 1931,(ii)Sc/ST will be identified with ref. to the area they live in,and (iii)NO RESERVATION IN PROMOTION.Supreme Court knows that :(1) Reservation cannot be for ever,(2)Mandal Report,1931 has been used

justice j.s.verma and the role of cjiBy: janmang mehta | Tuesday , 5 May '09 18:08:16 PM Reply | Forward in reply to other comments,i would like to clarify that for prevention of corruption of polticians and of bureaucrats we have institutions like anti corruption wing,cbi etc.That is not the work of cji or any other judge..he can not call every politician

Justice Verma and ambiguity in the interviewBy: Chandrakant Marathe | Tuesday , 5 May '09 11:04:21 AM Reply | Forward i find the interview very confusing. Justice Verma does not give solutions to CBI problems. He has not spoken on long long delays in delivering justice in our country. He has no clue or solution to the number of cases where politicians go scot free. Every common man knows that our politicians have amassed wealth which we see every day but hardly any CJI talks about it. We know how even high court judges are bought over but no one admits. What is the use of talking vague and glorifying one self when the society at large has not seen any change what so ever in the management of the country?????

Justice J.S. VermaBy: Suresh | Monday , 4 May '09 7:59:19 AM Reply | Forward JUstice Verma himself took up appointment as Chairman Human Rights Commisssion immediately after retirement and also worked as Commission of enquiry in Rajiv Gandhi assasination while he was a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court. He gave the CBI autonomy which the legislature had not given. Now it suits him to advse others as he has again become eligible to take up an assignment according to his own rule of no appointment within 10 years of retirement. Do not waste time and costly news print over these spent forces. They are no better than expired date medicines.
