The Supreme Court of India: Breaking the spirit of the people?

The Department of Income Tax (IT) carried out raids on the houses of an MLA in the Karnataka State and found documents and gold for about Re.150 crore on 13 February 2017. The MLA is a close friend of the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

 Justice Karnan of the Culcutta High Court had submitted a list of the corrupt judges to the Prime Minister of India. A seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court of India headed by Chief Justice JS. Khehar asked Justice Karnan to appear before it for contempt. To this, Justice Karnan said that the upper caste judges take law in their hands and misuse judicial power with the mala fide intention of getting rid of him. He rejected the order of the court on 13 February 2017.

A Supreme Court of India bench of Justices P.C. Ghose and Amitava Roy restored in toto the trial court conviction of Ms. Jayalalithaa (late), Ms. Sasikala, Ms. Ilavarasi and Mr. Sudhakaran. Trial court judge Michael D’Cunha had sentenced them to four years imprisonment.

The judgement is partly constitutional and partly unconstitutional.

          The people in villages had been using ribald language against the Supreme Court of India until this judgement. Now they say that the corrupt would be punished one day or other. They add that there is justice in one corner.

          The judgement, in its present form, would outwardly remain as a deterrent for corruption. Actually, it would encourage acts of corruption partly because the probability of getting such direct documentary evidences would be rare and partly because the court does not enforce freedom of expression..

The court will have to condone the jail term, if the people have freedom. As a consequence, a lot of good things would follow.

Now, it is shocking that the court failed to take into account some important points mentioned in this work.

The Union Government, on 15 February 2017, decided to merge five associate banks with the State Bank of India (SBI). Earlier, Union Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitely said that the SBI would be a global player, controlling 25 per cent of the Indian banking industry, after the merger.

The Union Government must envisage every state as another Japan, Hong Hong, Korea or Singapore. For this, every financial institution must be split and handed over to the state governments. Instead, the government wants to drain money from every state.

The associates of the SBI lend about 90 per cent of their deposits in their respective regions.

In contrast, the SBI lends about 10 per cent of its deposits in its various regions and siphons off the rest to Mumbai.

Further, in contrast to the associate banks, the SBI is not accessible to the small farmers.

Furthermore, every associate of the SBI has its own heritage value. This must be conserved.

The unconstitutional nature of the merger was mentioned earlier in this work. The government, at that time, retracted.

Now, the political leaders do not oppose the merger.

Why do you keep this work away from the eye of the people? If the court had asked this question to the media, the government would not have taken the above decision.

As it does not do this, the exploitation of the masses continues.

Thus, the court breaks the spirit of the people.

This is letter No.543

   The facts from 11 February 2017 to 15 February 2017 are being submitted to His Excellency the President of India, Supreme Court of India, Chief Vigilance Commissioner, Indian Army and the Indian Air Force, and posted in the blog: www.howeverythinghappenedinindia.blogspot.com  on 16-2-2017.
