‘Be ye ever so high, still the law is above you’.

I heartily congratulate the Supreme Court for its outstanding judgment in The Bombay blast case! The Court has blended compassion with the letter of the law. In giving a reprieve to the illiterate accused,the Court held that they were mere instruments and the real master-minds are elsewhere. The Bombay blasts were the first of their kind-to strike terror in the minds and hearts of the people. Due to several reasons the trial was delayed and the final judgment was delivered exactly 20 years after the incident.
The Supreme Court has sent a strong message to all and sundry- ‘Be ye ever so high, still the law is above you’. It should serve as a reminder to everyone that irrespective of your position, you will have to face the consequences of your actions!

This judgment will go a long way in restoring the faith of the masses in the Judiciary!
