All the citizens of India have enormous faith in the judiciary who view it as the only pillar of democracy which is by and large unscathed by corrupt practices. Even as the nightmarish spat between the former Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan with two judges over the 2G scam is fresh in mind, doubts are being raised over the misuse of his official position by his son-in-law. The adage “Caesar’s wife should be above suspicion” perfectly suits Justice K.G. Balakrishnan who currently holds a high constitutional position as the NHRC Chairperson. That a man of impeccable integrity like Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer has advised him to resign and face the inquiry should make K.G. Balakrishnan to relinquish his post…to uphold the prestige of the great institution.
