Majesty of the Courts

Following observation of the Supreme Court comes not a day too soon:

"Courts are not tape recording machines. They have to play a participatory role. People have started feeling that criminal trials are like cobwebs where small flies are getting caught and big people are dashing through. Courts have an over-riding duty to maintain public confidence and uphold the majesty of courts. The interest of society is not to be treated with disdain. The duty of the court is to uphold the majesty of law".

Stability of any society depends on the reliability of its judicial system.
