CBI decision

Sir, — The CBI's decision to file a closure report in the Taj Corridor case, in which former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is an accused, amounts to short-circuiting the judicial process.

Coming as it does just months after the Home Ministry refused the necessary sanction to the CBI to prosecute Satish Sharma, one wonders whether this is what the UPA means by saying the rule of law should prevail.

Sir, — The decision is another testimonial to subversion of justice in cases involving politicians close to the corridors of power. The move casts a shadow of suspicion over the independence and impartiality of the investigating system. Truth, as always, is the casualty.
