It is often seen these days that some of the judges at the higher courts get hesitant and manifestly embarrassed or in Bangla, "BIBROTO" over seemingly controversial cases which tend to lean heavily toward political repercussions. I say seemingly because from my standpoint judges are supposed to be persons of immense knowledge and wisdom.

When their verdict can send criminals to the gallows; they don't need to be hesitant or embarrassed for any reason whatsoever.
