A negative sign

Supreme Judicial Council has taken an extraordinary step to remove a sitting Additional Judge of the High Court from his position for bribe related cases. There was another instance in recent past where a High Court Judge was also shown the door for almost similar reasons. These are not healthy signs at all.

Political interference in appointing Judges is degrading the moral authorities of such widely respected institutions.

To avoid any further embarrassments, the government should immediately take steps to separate the Judiciary from the Executive for a better future.

People of this country deserve a lot more from our political leaderships.
