Not Only Must Justice Be Done; It Must Also Be Seen To Be Done
I request the Honorable Supreme Court to make Report public to be fair and reasonable, because: We don't know what the truth is! Quoting the Supreme Court judgment in Indira Jaising v Supreme Court of India, the committee declared that their report constituted part of the in-House procedure and hence not liable to be made public. But the Supreme Court in Indira Jaising case found no parallel or analogy between the Mysore incident report and V Ramaswamy' episode. The Supreme Court has a duty to inform the complainant and the people in general, what process was adopted, which law was followed, whether principles of natural justice were adhered to, is there any provision for complaint to file appeal or seek review of this report, if so where and how, will she get opportunity to cross examine the witnesses of respondent, whether witnesses who are subordinate staff members of apex court, have deposed, if so what have they deposed, etc. Had this kind of inquiry happened in any non-judicial department, Supreme Court could have struck down this report as illegal, unreasonable, against principles of natural justice and hence violative of rights of woman.
