The charges of him using his high office to accumulate black money in the name of his brother, sons-in-law and other members of his family are a disgrace to the institution of the judiciary. ", "Even more disgraceful is his refusal to step down as chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).", "If the CJI declines to resign from the statutory position, it is the prime minister’s job to show him the door without delay. Otherwise, even a person of Singh’s stature and his power will be tainted by default. Inaction is guilt where action as a trustee is a command to act. Singh should act now. Otherwise, irreversible damage not only to the credibility of the present government, but also to the reputation of this nation will be done."

Congress MP's open charge at judiciary
Kerala bar owners bribed SC judge to retain licences: MP: "a Supreme Court judge had pocketed Rs 36 lakh to lift a Kerala High Court ban on 21 bar licences in the state."
The case for faster justice: "The sense of satisfaction that the law does catch up with the high and mighty, exemplified by the Supreme Court of India's conviction of former Kerala minister R. Balakrishna Pillai for graft in the Idamalayar dam corruption case, is severely tempered by the fact that justice was done two decades after the initiation of prosecution. While sentencing Mr. Pillai to one year of rigorous imprisonment, the Supreme Court itself drew attention to this indefensible delay by directing the special courts to dispose all corruption cases against public servants expeditiously."
