IN JUDGE,S WORDS


                              WORDS OF HONOURABLE JUDGE A.R.DAVE

“If I was the Autocratic ruler of India, I would have introduced the Holy Scriptures- GEETHA & MAHABHARAT in all the classes from 1st standard”

The above were the reported words of the honourable Judge A.R.DAVE, seen in the Malayala Manorama KOCHI dated 03.08.2014 .How could such thought come in the mind of a judge, who is believed to be impartial in his judgments?.  I feel that the saying” Sober as a Judge”is not in tune with the words he spoke in the public meeting.

How could anyone forget the Religious Books of all other communities in India who live in harmony from time immemorial and proving Indians, as an outstanding example of Religious Tolerance compared to any other country?

Such words from an esteemed person is really causing anxious moments in the minds of people who always expect impartial and natural justice from any legal authority , while  pronouncing judgment  in cases of people belonging to different religious  denominations..

The intention of such words from a reputed judge may not be clear to many of the readers of this news. As a senior citizen over 80 years of age, I am unhappy.. He would have been trying to prescribe a Social Catalyst to trigger a sense of unity by introducing  Geetha & Mahabharat to the school syllabus for  promoting a better and sober society !
