Goa’s distinguished judge, Anuja Prabhudesai is finally being reinstated. Her suspension was unwarranted and a grave injustice.
Since her appointment as a judge in 1991, Anuja Prabhudesai has displayed extremely high levels of dedication and integrity. Her character has remained unblemished during her entire tenure. With all her humility and gentleness she did not deserve to be treated so shabbily. The ruthless treatment meted out to Anuja Prabhudesai has put the entire judicial system to shame. With the callous suspension of Judge Anuja Prabhudesai it was established that the wheels of justice too can be manipulated. Unlike the Legislature and Executive which has gone to the dogs, the Judiciary has been till now left largely intact and we cannot allow the independence, sanctity and transparency of the Judiciary to be eroded. By merely reinstating the wrong done to her is not remedied. Rather, it is vital for the credibility of the judicial system that the conspirators in this most foul plot against her be exposed and punished. Those who framed fake charges against her should not be spared. It will only then reinstate the Aam Aadmi’s faith in a system that failed a very senior, intelligent and bright judge.
