Several legal scholars, senior lawyers
of the Supreme Court, eminent civil society members and leading newspaper
editorials have been relentlessly articulating the various pitfalls and
violations in every step related to the conduct of the case between an ordinary
women employee of the Court and the Chief justice of India. They have been
pointing out the violations in the procedures related to the conduct of the enquiries conducted so far,
only with the intention of safe guarding the prestige and credibility of our
judicial system. From these sources the readers have been learning about the
lack of level fielding opportunity between the two parties. The simple step the
CJI can do is to keep himself away from all judicial functions till the
verdict is delivered in this case if, he
is interested in safe guarding his image and that of the highest Court of this
nation. What is the use of having so many women protection laws, when women with
humble back rounds approach the courts with
sexual harassment complaints and that too, against persons with authority is
treated with such unjust manner using every loop holes in the procedures? Is a supreme
court chief justice above the law of this nation ?The protection of Judiciary’s
credibility is more important than the protection of any individual’s
image.
