THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA:
THE TRUTH WOULD RISE AGAIN?
A student belonging to a
Scheduled Caste had been expelled by the University of Hyderabad. He, on 17
January 2016, committed suicide. Some reports conveyed the impression that
caste politics was the cause.
The learned judges do not
allow any members of the Scheduled Caste to go anywhere near the Supreme Court
of India. In fact, there is not even one judge in the Supreme Court to
represent them.
There are one or two
exceptional cases in one or two top places. They are reluctant to change the
status quo.
Two judges of the Madras
High Court, Justices P.R. Sivakumar and
D. Hariparathaman, on 18 January
2017, demanded reservation in the higher judiciary. They revealed that just 18
candidates represent the Scheduled Caste in the High Courts. They put the
sanctioned strength at 1200.
They described this as ‘elite
untouchability’.
They condemned a judge of
Gujarat High Court for clubbing corruption with reservation.
Their present statement
might undermine their promotion.
It must be noted that the
media rarely report such views of judges
The New Indian Express, on 18 January 2016, narrated the history of India since
1991.
It said that the ruling
class saved India from bankruptcy by forcing the government to embrace economic
freedom.
However, it deplored that
the Ministry of Steel still exists.
Keeping the public sector
IDBI bank and the Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) mind, it said that the total market capitalization
of PSU banks is less than that of 2 private sector banks.
It insinuated that the government
even now does some businesses.
It added that only the
‘vanquished’ remember history.
The article shows that if
the present man sleeps for one day, all the remaining public resources would go
into the hand of ten men.
India has been remaining
in the hand of these men since independence. Even Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel became a big leader because of them.
They do not allow the
government to do anything.
When the government tried
to open the licenses among a larger spectrum of people, the Supreme Court of
India, on 2 February 2012, said that “the government virtually gifted away
important national assets”. Accordingly, it cancelled hundreds of Telecom and
–later- mining licenses and induced the government to transmit them to ten men.
The people believe that
the court did it.
Actually, the ruling
class did it.
Such acts of corruption
will go on in one way or other until the people get freedom.
The Reliance Industries, on 19 January 2016, put its third quarter profit at Re.7290 crore.
The Supreme Court of
India alone knows whether this profit is due to the higher domestic prices of
petroleum products or not.
On a petition filed by
the National Confederation of Officers
Association, the Supreme Court of India, on 19 January 2016, restrained the
government from alienating the residual shares of the Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) for want of necessary laws. The court considered
the earlier sale of majority shares to the Vedanta
Limited as a circumvention of law. The court gave four weeks to give its
reply.
A bench headed by Chief
Justice T.S. Thakur heard the case.
The names of other judges were not revealed.
The court could have secretly
allowed the government to alienate the shares. Then, none might have noticed
it.
It did not do that.
However, the present judgment
is a half-hearted one.
The circumvention of law
to the disadvantage of the people is illegal.
There is no law to
alienate the public assets. Therefore, the court should have restored the ‘vanquished’
assets.
At one stage the court
asked the Attorney General (AG), Mr.
Mukel Rohatgi, the reason for the
sale.
The New Indian Express yesterday said that the government still does
business. It is a surprise that the court has not noticed it. This was the latent
meaning of the reply.
It may be recalled that former
Prime Minister Mr. A. B. Vajpayee proclaimed
in the floor of the Indian Parliament that his government decided to sell the
PSUs to manage the fiscal deficit.
In this connection, it
must be stated that the government must do business in key sectors to save the
people.
Now it sells rice, wheat,
pulses, kerosene, liquor and even mineral water. It does banking, transport,
petroleum, postal and many other businesses. No court restrained it from doing
this. After doing businesses like this, it cannot alienate the natural assets.
The AG should not have
picked up courage to talk like this in the open court.
On the same day, the
media reported that the court had ordered a probe to fix the illegalities
associated with the sale of the HZL.
The people come to know
about the probe only now. What happened
to the sale of other assets also is not known. The court should not have kept
this as a secret matter.
So long as there is no
freedom, the Supreme Court of India would not give a reply to this work. The
probe, naturally, would not reach its logical conclusion.
However, the revelation is
consistent with the saying that ‘the truth crushed to earth would rise again’.
This is letter
