•Shekhar Gupta: But is the responsibility with the CBI leadership which is basically police officers or politics?

J S Verma: Well it’s like this I am one who with lapse of time of course the politicians are to blame but I blame them less for example if I as a judge goes wrong and a politician takes advantage of me well he is at fault but I think I am more at fault

•Shekhar Gupta: He’s a politician; he has to take advantage of situations

J S Verma: It’s only a statesman and I am sorry to say at least I don’t see any statesmen around.

•Shekhar Gupta: In politics. Sir, since Havalah judgment happened almost 11-10 years ago, take us back a little bit and tell us how you had tried to institutionalise CBI’s independence.

J S Verma: Well it was like this, there was of course a general perception and a growing feeling for good reason whenever there was accusation based on reasonable grounds which everyone believed to be true and it involved people in our positions who had some sort of power then the CBI would drag its feet and nothing would happen and statistics were made up of only taking small bribes etc.

•Shekhar Gupta: If you see the CBI website it is very sad that they proudly talk about running a 5000 Rs sting on some station master somewhere

Chief Justice of IndiaBy: surya praksh ,Hyderabad | 30-Jul-2009 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 | 08-May-2009 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 | 07-May-2009 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 | 05-May-2009 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 | 05-May-2009 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?????
