    • THESE EDUCATED CROOKS
    How else one could call those people who are highly qualified, educated, earning lots of money through their professional practice choosing to ignore basic civility when it comes to issues concerning lives of thousands of people. I am referring to late Nani Palkhivala a celebrated lawyer, one time Ambassador to USA, a man who taunted all Finance Ministers with his post budget meetings, a man who spoke about values in public life all along but who chose to declare that if the Bhopal gas disaster case was to be  argued in India, the judgment will be delivered in the next century. The same gentleman when arguing the case in US Courts, opined that since the incident occured in India, it will be better if Indian courts hear the case.His prophecy came very true. The CJM's court took 26 years to deliver a mockery called judgment with available records and with charges watered down by supreme court bench headed by CJI Ahmadi. 

    In a news channel former CBI Director Madhavan who was darling of the media when he was investigating Bofors scandal, quoted verbatim the provisions of IPC 299 to prove that Justice Ahmadi infact erred in his judgment. 299(3) holds the accused responsible for culpable homicide not amounting to murder even if he./she knows his/her action could cause injury to the person/persons. He gave an analogy of a person bringing up a tiger to his household, locking up in a room and one fine morning this tiger breaks away and kills some neighbours. He can not obviously claim immunity under this section and claim to be charged for causing death due to negligence. Fine Mr.Madhavan ? If you have believed in what you said you could have filed a review petition you could have egged on any other volunteer to file a PIL at that time which precisely is the reason Ahmadi claims he stood by his judgment. 

     

    Ahmadi lied that none appealed for a review of his order changed track when an activist proved that infact he appealed for a review. Brushed aside allegations of conflict of interest as he was to head the Bhopal trust funded by Union Carbide on his superannuation. 

    All these honorable gentlemen need to ask their conscience as to if they had been fair to their own countrymen?

    Abishek Manu singhvi was a solicitor for Dow Chemicals and he opined that the liabilities of erstwhile UCCIL shall not pass on to Dow Chemicals. He could have reclused himself as did NT Vanamamalai when he saw mounting evidence against Jayalalitha and he was approached to defend her that is professional ethics for you Mr Abishek.
