Justice Krishna Iyer wants probe against Justice Balakrishnan

ONE of the most respected judges in the annals of Indian Judiciary, Justice Krishna Iyer has demanded a probe into the allegation that the son-in-law of former CJI , KG Balakrishnan had amassed crores. He also wants the President to politely ask Justice Balakrishnan to resign from his present post of Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission.

Maybe we expect too much from our Judiciary! When everybody else is corrupt, why do you wish the judges to be honest? After all they are also part of this society!

And when people who are supposed to prevent corruption are themselves alleged to be corrupt, is there a way out? Maybe it is a way of life and we have to live with it! It is not even worth laughing at - so let's say adieu to Gopal's cartoons for now.
