The Supreme Court Acts Superbly

Yesterday's decision of the Supreme Court on the question of continuation of sealing of Delhi traders' unauthorized structures certainly came as a welcome relief.

Against the backdrop of escalating threats by belligerant and irresponsible traders, duly egged on by politicians of all hues for their selfish ends, and a succumbing- whimpering Government, one was wondering whether the Court would be able to withstand the immense pressure and blackmail that it was being subjected to.

Kudos to the (truly) Honourable Judges for keeping our faith in Indian Judiciary alive. One feels reassured that the future of democracy - which cannot rest on any foundation other than that of Rule of Law - is in safe hands as long as our Judiciary is manned by persons of such sterling character and courage. May our Constitution, and the values it cherishes, live long!!
