A judge soon to retire has been telling people around him that he was going to head a prestigious tribunal. Now he is faced with a scandal. What is to be watched is whether the govt will risk more egg on its face by actually going through with the appointment!

Its report should be preserved as a permanent record for posterity and history.
It is time to name and shame those who have betrayed the Constitution of India and whose decisions have been inimical to the interests of the citizens and the public good.
