Justice Kannan's blog

It is unfortunate that Justice K.Kannan of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has decided to withdraw from blogosphere (www.mnkkannan.blogspot.com) atleast for the present. He was championing transparency in an otherwise opaque legal system. He had taken up a hazardous job and had to walk on thin rope lest he became too judgemental. His blog became immensely popular among concerned citizenry after he openly espoused a sensible stand on disclosure of assets by judges. He explained the nitty-gritty of even convoluted judgements in a reader-friendly manner.

He has indicated that his decision was hastened by uncharitable comments made by some. His withdrawal is a loss to blog-readers.

Added on July 12, 2016: It is encouraging to know that Justice Kannan who recently retired has decided to resume blogging.
