No one will answer these questions. Because no one wants to argue with people who do not want to listen. Justice Santosh Hegde has distanced himself from Draft of Janlokpal bill prepared by Team. Because he is a former Judge of SC. He knows that certain provisions of Janlokpal Bill are violating ‘Basic Structure Theory” and Art.13 of the Constitution of India.

So even if Parliament with 100% majority passes the Janlokpal Bill, next day, the Act will be stayed by Supreme Court as violating of Article 13 of Constitution of India and violating Basic Structure Theory.

Apart from Team, do you see any Senior Advocate of Country speaking in Support of Janlokpal Bill?

Do you see any Senior Advocate speaking against legality of Janlokpal bill? Some wanted to speak, but then they realized futility of arguing with people who did not want to listen. They become silent.

Following are names of some of Top Lawyers of India who have huge influence on people. If they say that Janlokpal Bill is a valid and legal bill, people will believe. (But at present these lawyers are silent for the fear of being misunderstood as supporters of Corruption)

Fali Nariman, Harish Salve, P.P.Rao, Gopal Subramaniam, Askok Desai. Dushyant Dave or any other prominent Senior advocates.

If any of these prominent senior advocates of India, will endorse Janlokpal Bill as valid and legal bill, people will accept their views. But why they are not endorsing the Bill? Are they all against anti-corruption movement?

A twitter friend, yesterday tweeted, “We want nothing else except Janlokpal Bill.”

Neither Justice Hegde, nor anyone else in country wants to weaken the Anti Corruption Tempo of People which is indeed forcing Government to take steps.

But those who blindly propagate for Janlokpal bill and are taking inflexible stand, should listen to the “Silence” of Justice Hegde and Other Legal Luminaries of Country. All the Legal Luminaries of Country are not corrupt.

Ability to listen a counter point, requires ability to listen to disagreeables. You must first give permission to others to speak against your views.

I am not talking about any specific murder of any specific RTI Activist. Lawyers and Judges everyday deal with Criminal Appeals arising form murders. Side by side we also learn “How a Person Can be Murdered in open day light, in presence of witnesses, and the criminal can still remain out of clutches of Law”.


Scan your own memories of murders of RTI Activists in last 5 years. Have real culprits ever brought under the clutches of law? They cannot be. These are planned murders. It is good if some one is convicted. But I don’t really recall.

Now again scan your memories of such murders. Do you see any patterns ?

There are patterns. And thousands of Lawyers and Judges are aware about these patterns.

For one thing, you may see a gap between time of Death and time of registering FIR (First Registration of Crime Information). You will begin to see more things if you will start comparing news reports of various mysterious murders. Not much skill is needed. Just becoming aware is enough. And if you yourself are a RTI Activist, it may be a good idea to study news reports of few RTI Activists deaths. Becoming aware is always good.

There is little which a lawyer or a judge can do to plug these loopholes in law. There is little which Central Government can do. Police Reforms is State subject. Each State has to plug loopholes and implement police reforms..We can only hope that Supreme Court will do something.

This blog is hardly a place to discuss these patterns. It may do more harm than good. It may serve some purpose if such things are discussed before a Commission for Suggesting Police Reforms. Otherwise it is useless to discuss this issue.

And after all what who reads our blogs? Who reads our tweets? Does anyone here really can bother about anyone else?
