Two Lama discuss value of a Supreme Court Judgement which is not communicated to people

Two Lama walks on diamond field ( and value of a Supreme Court Judgement which is not communicated to people)


Two lamas were walking on a barren land

Land was full of sand and pebbles.

Suddenly Younger Lama saw something sparkling in the sand

He picked it up, showed it to Elder Lama and said, "This looks like s diamond ! "

"It is a Supreme Court Judgement. This barren land is full of thousands of such judgements", replied Elder Lama

"What is the value this diamond?" asked Younger Lama

"A diamond begets value only when people know about its properties. Until people know about its properties, it has no value. The value of this diamond remained uncommunicated to people. It has therefore remained unused in this barren land", Elder Lama replied"

"In Supreme Court, there are press rooms and press reporters. Do they not communicate these judgements to people?", asked Younger Lama

"They can't, even if they wish", replied Elder Lama, "On Monday and Friday, Supreme Court delivers 100 sensational orders and 10 important judgements. Press reporter had to submit only two from these judgements to Editor, who then publishes one of the two.
Rest of judgement become "old news" after 24 hours. All national media have policy to not to publish any news which is beyond 24 hours."

Puzzled Younger Lama asked, "What could be then a way to communicate value of these diamonds to people?"

"Twitter could be the future. U.K and U.S. Supreme Courts have already their official Twitter account to broadcast important matters to people. They are no more dependant on media.", Elder Lama replied

Two Lama then silently walked down the barren land.

Younger Lama had put back the diamond in sand as it was of no use to him.

(P.S. This piece is inspired by a Justice Mrs. Ranjana Desai Judgement delivered in 2012. It interpreted an important provision of law to say that if a wife is tortured in any household, upon information, a police can file 498A case and police inspector has to become Complainant. 

Since the message remained uncommunicated to masses, the message seems to have been lost. )
