The truth about the transfer of Madras High Court Chief Justice Vijaya K Tahilramani as told by Justice Markandeya Katju.
He argues, why it is unfair to blame SC Collegium on this issue.
"The real reason for Chief Justice Tahilramani's transfer, as I was informed in my conversations, was that she was hardly working in the Madras High Court. She would sit only till 1200 or 1230 hrs, but not in the post-lunch session. Following her example, many other Justices of the Madras high Court would also not sit in the post-lunch session.
Even when Chief Justice Tahilramani would sit in Court, she would at most pass Interim Orders and adjourn cases and hardly gave any final judgement.
While there are many outstanding Justices in the Madras High Court, the behaviour of the Chief Justice - who is expected to lead from the front - was having an adverse effect on the working of the court.
Hence, Chief Justice Tahilramani was transferred to a High Court that had relatively little work.
The Madras High Court is a Chartered High Court and one of the premier High Courts in the country with a great reputation. It has a large number of cases pending, with tremendous pressure on Justices to decide those cases. I know this from personal knowledge, as I was the Chief Justice there. If the Chief Justice is indolent and lackadaisical, he/she has no business to be in that court".

CRZ-violator builder - with a project on the verge of demolition in Maradu as per the Supreme Court order - is Kerala Government's partner in its low-cost-housing project.
296 flats being built for the very low income group/homeless - under the 'Janani Project' at Perumbavoor - is being handled by the Holy Faith builders!
No wonder then that the builders have been studiously kept away, from the situation arising out of the Supreme Court order on demolition, by the state government.
The Chief Secretary who'd made a big show of visiting the affected flats at Maradu, the other day, was the Director of the Janani Project when it was approved in '17.
What a drama? Just another instance of misleading the general public!

Heard Shashi Tharoor say that he has been slapped with three cases because he has been speaking the truth.
Wonder what is the truth, that he has uttered, for which he is being castigated as he claims?
First, Mr. Tharoor come clean about your wife, Sunanda Pushkar's mysterious death and then, continue with your politics. Aren't you aware of the fact that people are sniggering at you and your weaknesses? Mind you, it was your party men who were the first to disown you with your newfound love for PM Narendra Modi!
Tailpiece.
Had gone across to the service station to hand over my car for its servicing. The traffic snarl was bearable and I could turn in at Puzhakkal, where the culvert work is reaching its final phase. Phew! Just prior to that, Pramod had set the puncture right on the spare tyre. Otherwise, it was a quiet day!! As the rain seems to have receded, the heat has gone up.
