In response
to
my earlier post “ Is judiciary not Answerable “ I
have received number of
letters to publish the response I had
received from one honorable judge of Punjab And Haryana
High Court.
It was not surprising that only one judge responded, but surprising part
is that when I asked my friends
in high court that I have received response of one judge, all four
of
them did not make any mistake in
guessing the name of Honorable Judge. Below is the
response ……… Any printing mistake in the following document is mine, as to upload this scanned letter various conversions have been done on web. Regards Prof. K K Garg gargkk.pec@gmail.com

Judge (Punjab and Haryana High Court)
Dear Professor Garg
.y ,
I notice
that
you
have written letters to several
persons in judicial And administrative hierarchy. The incident has evidently hurt you that an institution of justice is applying different yardsticks to
different persons this response is no attempt
To bring any justification for any actions
but
an observation on an aspect which may?
Have missed your notice.
When the lawyers were holding the Courts to ransom by boycott any attempt to quell its continuance and abort any further inconvenience to the public was
exigent.
It is similar as in industrial environment where
the
management holds Parleys with striking workers. You do not break the workers' spines. You mend them. The order quashing FIR was, on a peaceful settlement between two persons that came in
conflict.
A compromise even in criminal
cases is an acceptable
legislative safety pill That recognizes plea bargaining. The Court did what was appropriate.
Mediocrity in performance abounds every public space in
India, in
Universities amongst students and amongst the teaching community as
well; amidst
Professionals
that adopt unethical practices; amongst the brightest chartered
Accountants
who
manipulate
and fudge accounts. It is
difficult not to
be cynical in the Prevailing
scenario We will not
change the world by
expecting other people to
change At a
macro level. Change happens at
an individual
level
by constantly raising one's
own bar for improved
performance and
better conduct.
Wishing you all
the best,
Sincerely,
K .Kannan
