Supreme court's events


The petition by women across various disciplines sent to the Supreme Court Judges on the constitution of the in house committee has raised many valid points. They have raised valid questions  regarding,  the  formation of the committee without any external member as required by the provision of  the Sexual Harassment of Women At Work Places Act -2013 and about  the non provision  of legal representation to both parties especially when the complainant is not equally placed with the Chief Justice, (As per vishaka judgment) The nation is watching closely the development in this case since, the integrity of the judges of the Supreme  court is of paramount importance in our democracy.    In this case an ordinary woman and the highest judicial functionary are leveling charges against one another . The nation has faith in the judiciary and expect both parties be given level playing fields till the truth is established  .The chief justice of India  should refrain from  making statements, tarnishing the character of the complainants, if his dignity is  to be maintained . The union ministers of India should also not get involved in this case by giving favorable certificate to one party when the matter is in the court. The lawyers fraternity ,  the judges, the media and the politicians should refrain from sensanalising  or trivialising this matter of seriousness by making unnecessary statements.
