BHUSHAN DUO WAKEUP

Bhushan duo, Shanti and his son Prashant are accused by their detractors who are too many, that they rejoice in blackmailing victims through PIL s( even the CD purported to be a recording of conversation between Bhushan Sr. and Mulauam singh talks of fixing judges) . Prashant Bhushan and his father gave an interveiw years ago to Tehelka wherein they claimed that 8 of the former CJIs of the Supreme Court of India are corrupt. They did not name them yet the SC woke up and slapped a notice of contempt. Justice Altamas Kabir time and again warned the duo to offer unconditional apologies or face trial. Bhushans were unfazed and said they are ready to face trial. To this the Judge proclaimed that that would open a can of worms. Bhushans said they would like to watch the warms coming out of the can. Nothing has been heard about this pending litigation.

Meanwhile Judiciary woke up to get rid of this tag, encroached upon policy matters and ran a publicity campaign in the name of trial on the 2G scam wherein a host of petitions by interested parties - none of them affected by the allotment of spectrum fairly or other wise- most of them political parties and the new formed Indian Against Corruption body represented by Prashant Bhushan were litigants and the Government of India the respondent. Meanwhile Press conducted a media trial out of a CAG report which talked of a notional loss of mind boggling proportions. The Minister in question was condemned before a decent hearing against all forms of justice. Ultimately the Bench of Justice Singhvi and Justice Ganguly declared the sanction of licences under 2G byFCFS route illegal and cancelled all the licences. Well if FCFS is patently not transparent and illegal, all licences obtained under this method are to be cancelled The judges did not cancel those licences awarded in NDA regime as it was not a prayer. That was ridiculous.

In the Presidential reference which the SC is now hearing, the litigants object to the reference petition itself seeking clarity on the order of the court making it mandatory for the states to auction all natural resources as they feel, any opinion to the contrarty will annull the SC judgment. The Bench is finding it difficult to justify the admissibility of the petition. 

Why is that the crusaders of corruption are silent on the earlier contempt petition ? Why is the judicial corruption issue skirted now? unless the learned judges either disprove the claims of Bhushan duo and punish them if they are wrong, how on earth there is moral authority for them to dispense justice on such crucial issues of policy making vis as vis administration of justice. Will the Bhushan duo wake up and take up this cause first or else feel that this should hang as a democles sword over the lordships so that they could pressure them.
