"Appointment is now a disappointment", is what he has famously said in one of the meetings held in Chennai. <BR/>You suggested an empirical analysis of the pre-1993 and post-1993 appointments. Doubtless, it would be a challenging exercise. But off-hand, Mr.K.K.Venugopal, senior advocate has said in the pre-1993 days, we had Patanjali Sastri, Vivian Bose, Justice Bhagwati, Subba Rao and Justice Krishna Iyer. The post-1993 appointments speak for themselves, as a number of examples could be cited of Judges, considered deviant, incompetent, and corrupt.<BR/> The posting of the interview on legal blogs, even if belated, is welcome. I never imagined that blogs like this could be so beneficial. Please post similar stuff, despite your teaching pressures!V.Venkatesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138846925562952785noreply@blogger.com
