Every body makes a thin line of escape route.Former CJI has shown his guts as a Judge.He slipped in to the net after retirement.His reasons of defense is unacceptable to larger public.

                                                                                                         NEED  FOR  CODE  OF  CONDUCT  FOR  JUDGES  AND  CBI  DIRECTOR

 

When the present CBI Director was accused of having met privately the people who were being investigated by CBI , the gentleman  confirmed that he met them and simply asked  as to

what was wrong  in it ?

 

When the former Chief Justice of Supreme Court who  retired  just four months back  was appointed as the Governor of Kerala which raised eyebrows, the gentleman asked what was wrong in it.

 

Obviously, very senior positions of trust are now being devalued  by the occupants,  leaving the common man  like me wonder  as to who could be trusted .

 

It is sad that these days ,  judges unhesitatingly  share public platform with politicians, bureaucrats and business men who are facing charges of corruption and  criminal acts.  Many judges readily accept invitations to attend meetings and programmes   which have nothing to do with judicial matter  .  Some time back, Chief Justice of Madras High Court called on the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to discuss about some administrative matters , though the politician is involved in court cases.   In the earlier days, when the country and judges had better public standards, judges used to avoid even attending the wedding receptions of friends and distant relatives, so that  they would  not be seen in the company of  people with doubtful integrity. 

 

Now, the question is  who would prescribe the code of conduct for judges , when  the judges themselves  do not seem to appreciate the need for it.

 

If the chief of the premier investigating agency would justify his  meeting the people in private  who  are being investigated , then what sort of standards can be expected from such investigating agency.
