During our school days we were taught that the Law is supreme and no one can escape from its long arms or the clutches. So it was always advisable to remain on the right side of the law.

This faith of ours got doubled when we recently read in the papers that the court has convicted two M.P's on the charges leveled against them and have been sentenced to imprisonment. Further, there was also a news that the Supreme Court has removed the legal protection given to public servants and so henceforth no prior sanction will be required to prosecute the ministers and the bureaucrats

We were very much delighted to read this news and felt that a real democracy has at last come to India.

But our joy was short lived. We have now read a latest news that the ministers, law makers, legislators and parliamentarians, who had been enjoying the "Political Immunity" from legal prosecution as public servants, were suddenly jolted by this news and felt that their political career is at great risk. They had hurried discussion on this issue in Lok Sabha and strongly protested against the treading of the judiciary over their rights and the stage is being set for collective demand for judiciary to mind their own business.This growing unease about the judiciary amongst the politicians is slowly gathering momentum.

Not only this, but we have also read that the Union Cabinet is now planning to put forth the bill, on Quota for OBC, in the parliament without giving any heed to the observations made by the court on excluding the CREAMY layer from the ambit of the quotas.

Both these things clearly show that there is a tussle between the judiciary and the legistrators The question then comes to our mind is " Now,who is right?" The Judiciary or the Legislators, parliamentarians ,ministers and politicians. What about our faith and belief in the judiciary and the saying that' The Law is supreme and Nobody is above Law"

The outburst of the legislators,ministers ,law makers etc. makes one thing clear that the laws which are applicable to a common man are not applicable to them as they think themselves to belong to the privileged class. Therefore they presume that they are above ALL and also above the Law.

Is it correct !

You are the best Judge !
