Two Lama on “College-Like Culture in Supreme Court”
(Based on actual events)
Dated 16th March,2011
(1)
A Day in Supreme Court
At 10.15 AM near Bar Canteen
One leading senior advocate
Greeted another leading senior advocate and said,
“Congratulations!
Yesterday you bullied the judge,
But you did get the order!”
Together with their groups of juniors,
They celebrated victory.
(2)
At 11.15 Same day
In a court room
The Judge lost his patience.
“Are we running a law college here?
Do we have to teach and explain to you
Even the basic laws?”
The Judge was responding to a counsel
Who wanted to argue
Against the primary and basic principles of law
The counsel did have a point
As there was a judgement of Supreme Court,
Directly
against the primary and basic principles of law
and against the common sense.
The Judge too had a point.
Better than “law-college arguments”
Were expected from counsels.
(3)
In the mountain of Himalaya
Elder Lama gave an advice to Younger Lama,
“If anyone tells you that a particular sparrow
Is carrying a diamond weighing
15 Kgs in her stomach,
Never believe him.
Never believe him,
Even if he may show you
A direct judgement of Supreme Court in his favour.
Never believe him even if he shows certificates,
Rules and provisions in support of his say”
-Haresh Raichura, Adv. New Delhi
