SC’s Decision in Judge Loya’s Case Sets a Dangerous Precedent

In dismissing the petitions seeking an investigation into Judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya’s death, the Supreme Court, whether it was aware or not, has sent out a message to the judiciary across India: We are not going to protect you. Toe the line, stick to the narrative put out by the government, like Judges Shrikant Kulkarni, SM Modak, Vijay Barde and RR Rathi, and you’ll be fine. That’s what comes through in the Supreme Court’s shameful judgement, refusing to even inquire into the suspicious circumstances of Judge Loya’s death. I’ve written elsewhere about the shoddy reasoning and presumptions used by the Supreme Court in this case.
