Swami Vivekananda says in Karma Yoga - "A man must go about his duties without taking notice of the sneers and the ridicule of the world." And definitely not by those who have neither read nor understood the words of the venerable 1Oth guru who stood for justice and piety!!

Proportional representation based on population is important, but states and UT's that have effectively controlled population growth, have to be treated fairly in representation in Legislative bodies. And those which failed cannot be rewarded with greater representation.

Today was asked to appear on a TV show on the Shardha murder case by a NOISY prime time channel. Though I reluctantly agreed I am now told the 'angle' is changed to 'love jihad' so am out of it. It's tragic death - let's not use it every which way we can for TRP's.

Back from Hyderabad with its clear blue skies yesterday. As we flew into Delhi, seems other than waiting for divine intervention by Indra Bhagwan, (and focus on upcoming elections), our elected masters aren't even trying to de pollute the great North Indian winter smoke house.

For young lawyers who start afresh, there is a world beyond SC and HC. And that's trial courts where there are maximum opportunities to independently appear and do trials. That's where a lawyer's foundational understanding is made. Our law schools need to focus on this.

After the Nirbhaya case law was made more stringent. But we ignored Justice Banumathi's concurring opinion (while upholding the death sentence) of the sociological basis of such crime and need for reform. Kolkata's tragic case shows harsh laws alone don't prevent horrific crime.

A mo(u)rning thought- Doesn't PMLA which empowers ED (central agency) over ride criminal law (state list) & breach federalism under the guise of treaty obligations. Policing, prosecution are state subjects.Retaining stolen property(S.411. IPC)is same as proceeds of crime (PMLA)!

Interesting move by Punjab govt to start work at 730am. Maybe time for courts to consider starting at 830/9 am, and finishing earlier! In summer Rajasthan HC begins at 730 am. Should save electricity cost and travel time (avoiding traffic) though night owls won't like it!
