Do we agree with this decision ?
I don't for the following reasons
A) Once again Mr Habibullah (and Shailesh Gandhi)
demonstrate craven loyalty to the false Gods who
appointed him (them).
B) The timing of this decision is a signal that
Mr H is on his way out.
C) Once again we see the open interference of NCPRI
in the CIC. How dare Mr Habibullah invite Prashant
Bhushan to assist the Commission? On what basis was
this done ? Why were special invitations extended
to the so-called legal luminaries (who quite properly
declined to be associated with Mr Habibullah's corrupt
little decision) named - most of whom strangely (or
not very strangely) are part of the "Committee for
Judicial Accountability" closely linked with NCPRI.
D) From where does the CIC derive powers to constitute
Benches?
E) The reasonings of the decision's conclusion are so
infantile that it is no surprise that 2 out of India's
3 worst Commissioners delivered it.
