What about the increase in cases against politicians that are now being monitored by the Supreme Court?

There may be a rollback on this since the judgment in the Sikkim Chief Minister’s case has been reserved by the Supreme Court. So maybe the apex court’s ruling will point to a solution.

There are some important pending proposals, which you may need to give your opinion on. One is the newly-drafted Judges Inquiry Bill and the other is the setting up of a separate Directorate of Prosecution for the CBI. What are your views on them?

It is far too early for me to comment on these issues. But the Cabinet Secretary has called for a meeting on the issue of Directorate of Prosecution and I feel the existing Malaysian and British models are very good.
