Barkha Dutt seems to be totally confused in ‘No Triumphalism’ (October 02, Hindustan Times). Whether she is lampooning the learned judges of the High Court, or using the hatchet at the political parties, or demanding action against perpetrators of 1992 demolition, or highlight instances of communal harmony is acutely indiscernible.
With regard to the judgement, ostensibly the focus of her article, she needs to be better educated about Indian Laws, judicial language and procedures. ‘An observation’ on the ‘live issue’ of demolition in a High Court Verdict cannot be equated with a political or journalistic statement. Every word penned has legal implications-grant some wisdom to an honourable bench instead of taking over the Supreme Court’s Job. You are welcome, Barkha, to file a suit for action against those responsible for the demolition and let the law take its own course.
