The Chief Justice has rightly uttered a word of caution in this regard. Be it in the name of accountability or any other phraseology, any attempt to curb judicial freedom would be a mortal blow to effective functioning of democracy in India. The political class wants to see changes in everybody excepting itself. In this scenario when the judiciary in India has been gloriously successful in exposing the seamy side of our national life,I would support and advise extreme caution in this regard.

There was a lively debate yesterday on the television about the role of judiciary , this was in context with Mamata Bannerji's comments on the justice system and some of the view points were interesting in that although what Mamata said was not wrong since she was generalising that justice can be bought for money, which I guess even the common citizens would sometimes say...However,how right is it for a CM to make such an observation of the very system that she is a part of ...

If Mamata Banerjee has not named any particular Judge or court but simply pointed out drawback and corruption in judiciary, there is nothing wrong.

I firmly believe that she has a point but in this instance she might have overstepped the line. Even if you don't name any particular judge,you defame the system of which judges are a part!

She has been overstepping the limit far too often these days with utter disregard for people... No doubt that she is a mass leader who does deliver when it is a matter of common and poorer sections of the society....Surprisingly, yesterday in a poll that was conducted by a news channel, her popularity has actually gone up now that it was before,this inspite of all the controversies surrounding her :huh:

The matter of defaming judiciary by Mamata Banerjee is now subjudice. mamata banerjee has accused media of misrepresenting her statement. The court will decide taking in view actual facts.
