Mr. Jayant is the senior most Justice in the country and as per seniority should have been made the Chief Justice of any High court. But as a reward for his honesty he is punished and victimised. Indian citizen lost their confidence in Legislature and Executive, now even Judiciary is under the clutches of Fascit forces. God save our Democracy & secular India.
You have to pay price of your honesty. But History will always remember you for your commitment
Politics politics... everywhere politics... it happen only in india
Merely because he is honest or independant judge does not mean that he is to be elevated according to his wishes.If he has resigned in protest against his transfer to Allahabad High Court than there should not be any uproar about it. He is a judge who is bound to render justice any where he is posted both honestly and independantly.
Sad to hear. One more victim of politics. In our country there is no SYSTEM in the POLITICS but there is POLITICS in all systems.
Transfer issue may be the reason. He might earned much so he dont want job anymore.. happy retirement
Why that much importance giving to him. He dont want to work so resigned. thats it
