The civil society finds it very strange to observe the adamancy of the bench of the Supreme Court that deals with the contempt case on lawyer Prashanth Booshan in punishing him despite observations of the legal scholars, retired judges, Legal administrators, senior and eminent lawyers quoting many legal arguments in support of the view that , he need not be punished in this case. Two questions arise in everyone’s mind regarding this case. They are-whether the Supreme Court’s prestige and honour would be protected when it punishes Prashath Booshan by all means or it would be enhanced by stopping with giving Prashanth Booshan advice regarding their expectation from a senior lawyer who was unhappy over some defects ( in his view ) in the justice delivery system in the recent past? Is it not a fact that in a democracy no constitutional body can behave like a monarch and should be subjected to checks and balances while using power? .
