Every time I read the words High/Supreme Court in newspapers I am terrified. What now? I ask myself. There is the case of the postman who is acquitted of the crime of stealing Rs 57, for which he was suspended after 29 years, three years after his retirement. There is the case of a contract declared illegal 10 years after the government approved it, and of orders being reversed 20 years after being issued, and of a building that is declared illegal after existing for over 30 years. Then a case of sexual assault of an intern, house arrest of a daughter, dismissal of ‘so called rights of miniscule population’. It is scary; we live in times when anything or anyone can be declared illegal anytime, almost on whim it seems, but after due process is followed.
