S-34 "Are We Left With No Standards?" - A conversation in Court.

"Are We Left With No Standards?"

It was Court No.2 in Supreme Court many msny years ago.

The presiding Judge was Justice S.P.Bharucha as he was then.

The top Senior Advocate of Supreme Court was about to open arguments in a mega corruption case of a top politician of India.

Justice Bharucha confronted the Senior Advocate with this question.

"Are We Left With No Standards?"

The question left deep impression on my mind. Even today I can remember this scene vividly.

Later I wrote a poem around this question.

In poem, a Sparrow comes and tells the Judge, "Yes, we have standards. Our Lawyers and Our Judges have the best standards. We are proud of them."
