This sense of cynicism coming from a lawyer who has given more than 50 years to the law, and who, at the age of 80, remains as agile and energetic as any young man, is a cause of immense concern.
Tomorrow, we may have a better lawyer than Kapil Sibal, or we may have a far worse one. But this Court will never have another Kapil Sibal in its lifetime.
I would suggest that you read about how a barely 40-year-old Kapil Sibal defended a Supreme Court judge, Justice V. Ramaswami, during the impeachment proceedings in Parliament. To this day, it remains a remarkable and rare instance of a lawyer who was not a member of either House being permitted to participate in an impeachment proceeding inside Parliament. That was in 1993.
Some of Mr. Sibal’s cynicism must be shared by all of us if we look at our courts impartially and reflect on what they have become over the last 10 to 12 years.
Take any case. Any, I repeat. Beyond oral observations, how many judgments have meaningfully addressed the conduct of the regime or imposed any real constitutional restraint upon it? Once the heat of the moment has passed, what emerges is often a voluminous judgment that offers little by way of meaningful academic debate or lasting constitutional jurisprudence.
From electoral bonds to SIR, the story remains the same.
Thank you @lakhshya_speaks for highlighting the ground reality of the Baruipur rape case! Because of independent creators like you, this story is reaching people across India. Otherwise, the Godi media largely remained silent and failed to give the case the attention it deserved.

Bill Gates: “Cows make 6% of global emissions.”
“You can either fix the cows, or make beef without the cow.”
That’s the conversation now: not about farming, not about land use — but redesigning the cow itself.
Mahindra has been making vehicles since 1947. Tata has been making vehicles since 1954.
All they have managed in 7 decades are these ugly, on-steriods looking pieces of poor engineering that are artificially puffed up to look big and strong but are quite hollow in technology. These manufacturers have hardly invested in R&D and mostly copy designs of other auto brands, making a mess.
Take Indian manufacturers in any industry, the ailment is the same. Most have focused on making profits, not great products. Some have bought out international brands to somehow earn respect, but own manufacturing is just way below global standards.
