It is a curious case of Justice Karnan because he has been very inconsistent in his approach. He is neither strictly legal nor political. He is choosing his course of actions as per his conveneince. When required he would tender unconditional apology and even claim himself to be medically unfit but soon thereafter would make even more egregious comments. This case is also curious because he has been successful in…
I am late in writing on this Sonu Nigam loudspeaker controversy. I thought this controversy was completely unnecessary. There is already a judgment of Justice Sanghi of Delhi High Court, which banned loudspeakers from both the mosque and the temple in the same area on basically the same premises which Sony Nigam has been stating in his tweets. The judgment banned loudspeakers in both the temple and the mosque, so probably there…
http://news.webindia123.com/news/articles/India/20170404/3086014.html My Comment: To be very frank, I find this argument of the AAP of defamation case against Kejriwal being a public, not private, issue completely frivolous. How can anybody file a public defamation case against anybody when defamation per se is an infringement of privacy rights of a person. If Mr. Sisodia is saying that it was Delhi government through Kejriwal, not Kejriwal personally, who allegedly defamed Jaitely then…
During the Congress regime, the SC made an observation that the CBI was acting as a caged parrot. The context of the observation was limited to the court proceedings on that particular day when the court thought the CBI was repeating the words of their masters in the court and was not speaking independently. The media would obviously construe this as a complete control of the government over the CBI. However,…
It is ironical that the channel whose sister channel recently came out with a peculiar editorial policy favoring national security over journalism has been banned for transgressing national security while reporting. This is a very important question. Should journalists even care about national security? A well-known journalist (cum a rumoured RAW spokesman), who often appears in these news channels, once mocked Pakistan for running ads in newspapers seeking counterintelligence information…
http://www.livelaw.in/kerala-hc-upholds-dismissal-girl-student-college-living-together-classmate/ My Comment: I am writing this comment after reading the judgment. The judge has noted in his order as follows: This is not a mere case of falling in love; but two students taking the drastic step of eloping and living together without even contracting a marriage. As consenting adults they could definitely act according to their volition. But, here they could not have even legally entered into a …

But read it carefully and try empathizing, not sympathizing, with the daughter. You will find the mother is a villain, who killed her child. I am quoting from the article below: “Julianna, if you get sick again, do you want to go to the hospital again…
