One more let off the hook!

J Jayalalithaa has been acquitted of all charges in the infamous disproportionate assets case and is now set to return as Tamil Nadu chief minister in a matter of days. The Karnataka High Court upheld her appeal and Judge CR Kumaraswamy read out the verdict with crackers bursting in the background and distant Chennai erupting in joy.

Literally, it’s the season of getting kid-glove treatment if you have men and women ready to set themselves on fire for you. Or jump from the rooftop. So, even if you have been dillydallying and playing hide-and-seek with the rather obliging criminal justice system in India (more than 18 years in Jaya’s case — she was charged in September 1996; it was 13 in case of Salman Khan), the rate of getting the trial process running is inversely proportional to how the higher courts will be willing to let you take everything for a ride. For instance, if Salman Khan gets anticipatory bail in two hours and is allowed to not worry about leaving the comforts of his Galaxy Towers Bandra home in just two days, in Jaya’s case it’s even simpler. The Karnataka High Court simply uttered “appeal upheld” to wash years of painstaking work by Justice Mario Cunha down the drain. However, in Justice Kumaraswamy’s defence, he did prevent a riot of sorts on the streets of Tamil Nadu. So, perhaps it’s all in the interest of the greater good of the nation.

The continuous pattern that I see spanning over a number of judgement's across all high courts over the last couple of years is that some of most lousy, incapable and criminal patronizing idiots are sitting as judges in our high courts. Whenever a fair punishment is handed over by lower courts, the high courts would throw out the verdicts. The more heinous the crimes, the more these judges seem to look for ways to reduce the sentence or maybe even suspend the sentence just to show their own authority.

An arithmetic error made by an idiot sitting in capacity of justice in the high court effectively in an instant tossed away a verdict reached after the case dragged for 19 years in the courts.

Also, the amounts talked about here are minuscule compared to the scale of corruption. The actual scale would be in thousands of crores like just like Jagan Mohan Reddy. Jayalalitita has a bungalow in Kodaikanal where apparently she has a bath tub made of pure gold.

Thats how it is in India,Kasab case took like over 1 year despite all the video evidence. I guess Dawood will make a comeback and get bail in India.

This particular case, the 'glaring' mathematical errors are just a facade to let her off the hook, I sense something much larger is at play here, me thinks the ruling party may have turned this in the CMs favor to garner support in RS. As to why it wasnt done earlier, purely to gain leverage. Thoughts?

^^ I agree. Just like Congress got Jagan out for their political vantage, it looks looks like BJP has a hand in doing this favor for "Amma". Apparently, even though many of her own supporters were surprised by the judgement, but there were politicos who were ready with sweets even before the judgement was delivered.
