  1. Anil, is there an International Body to deal with dodgy courts in a country that practice favoritism siding with the ruling govt… with verdicts that were sub-par and glaringly disgraceful…

  3. This is not a game, a dangerous situation we are in today – (if a judge is) biased (he is) not a JUDGE… and has to be replaced!

  4. The game is over. You can delay it a while but not forever. Be a man, face it.

  5. If a judge feels that he cannot be impartial, he should recuse himself. This would reflect the integrity of a judge. Karpal has brought up an issue that has enlightened the legal and the non-legal minds. We lack lawyers of his calibre these days. Karpal’s great mind is what I envy. At least, the people can now understand that a case has to be judged ‘in the court of law’ and it’s not for the media to become the judge and to form public opinions to confuse the people. The media and the court should not do a parallel job, worse if the former “distort” issues for some ulterior reason. If this happens the perception by many would be, there is a hidden agenda by the media. A person’s guilt should not be judged by the media, but by an impartial judge.
