Court verdict

Sir, — The Supreme Court's decision of turning down the request of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, to transfer the disproportionate assets case from Bangalore to a court in any other State, upholds judicial independence and dignity of law. It has reiterated the golden rule that justice has to be administered impartially.

Sir, — The judges have observed that in our country, we have an "efficient and independent judiciary" manning the subordinate courts "where justice is administered impartially, fearless of public glamour, regardless of public responses and indifferent to private, political or partisan influences." Are the comments not equally applicable to the judiciary in Tamil Nadu? Why was the case transferred to Karnataka?

B. Krishnakumar,
