Those sitting in the Galleries cannot score the goal! Therefore I am not entitled to write or
comment on court developments. And
Jaipur High Court bench is no exception.
But I find that you had no news. Calicut Blog should think of having a special
correspondent to report court matters ‘live’.
People these days are not satisfied with anything short of ‘live’
commentaries! Therefore your inability to get news is a sad commentary. But I found you ‘live’ on the screen with
announcements: “No News 4 PM”, No News – 5 PM.
At 7 PM you had no news! At least
you were honest enough to confess you were ignored. Only on 21st morning you came with
the announcement that court orders are awaited!
So far so good.
Then you say, good news travels fast. Means, bad news doesn’t travel at all! Is it so? It appears to be true here. An SMS from the
court should have made the difference. From SMS, it transforms into an
email. Email, to a news item in your
blog. People would have got some news!
Please don’t misunderstand me, I am growing wiser after the incident as you
may sometimes tempt to tell me…. It is
only that I did not write. I should not
throw an argument, but it is difficult to convince a lower court (in this case
Jaipur Bench) that the court is competent to deal with contempt petition after
the same has been once looked into by the Supreme Court. When we could not convince the SC to say “You may approach HC” (the least), there was
no case for you in the High Court. That’s
what perhaps happening here also…
Asthana’s line of action is not altogether a mistake. “Knocking at all doors” is not a poor
strategy. ASK is the secret word of
success. Rather it is the magic word as Gordon Bryan would tell you. Let us keep trying, though
Sridharan may say otherwise. Then we
often say: we should leave no stone unturned!
Asthana’s sincere efforts must be supported. His efforts will yield fruition - an ordinary pensioner like me has no doubt about it at all.
So that’s it: Those sitting in the Gallery cannot pelt stones at the players, score goal
or say how the goal should have been scored etc.
With these words, let me
withdraw to my den for now. Bye till we meet again!
