The Judgement given yesterday makes sad reading.
A rich - very rich man was trapped in net of law.
No money was spared in hiring most vocal, outspoken and brow beating senior advocates.
Hours and hours of judicial time in hearing multiple applications was wasted.
Allegations against Bench were made when Bench was not inclined to grant what was prayed.
Attempts were made to shift case to other Benches.
Many derogatory news reports were planted a day before each hearing to influence judicial contemplation.
The judges resisted all the mind games played by Senior Advocates.
And then they penned down their anguish in their Judgement.
Sad.
It makes one sad. Senior Advocates ought to uplift their standard.
Dignity of Court should have been kept in view.
Acrimonious submissions should not have reached a stage where judges felt constrained to observe what they observed in judgement.
