A Noble example

Chief Justice designate Justice K G Balakrishnan suggested that the post of Chief Justice could also be brought within the ambit of Judicial enquiry bill. At a time when hypocrisy is the hallmark of Indian system and people in power want themselves to be exempted from any scrutiny, Justice Balakrishnan’s remarks deserve the highest accolades. Not long ago a proposal was mooted by some political parties to exclude MPs and MLAs from the purview of the prevention of corruption Act. People in higher positions should lead by example and it is hoped that Justice Balakrishnan’s remarks and actions will herald the beginning of a new era of transparency in public affairs. Let us hope that people in power will emulate Justice Balakrishnan’s example and realise that they are not infallible so that this world will become a much better place to live in.
