Supreme Court ruling in judge Loya death case
A number of activists, 'liberals' and the Congress party have attempted to create political capital out of the Supreme Court verdict in the judge BH Loya death case. Interestingly, they did so even though the apex court dismissed pleas seeking a probe into the matter, and severely criticised the petitioners. The Congress virtually seconded activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan’s statement terming the verdict a “black day in the history of the Supreme Court.” It called the Supreme Court judgment a 'sad day in India's history' . By doing so, party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala not only questioned the judgment in the judge Loya case, but also pointed fingers at the very institution of the Supreme Court of India. The Congress appears to have used such terms to criticise the Supreme Court's judgment merely because the verdict was not one of its choice — one which could have helped them fight a political battle against the BJP and its president Amit Shah.
