Interesting interview with new CJI Balakrishnan.

This is a bad interview. Karan Thapar or anybody else does not have a right to ask such questions to CJI. Thapar is asking CJI the same way he would talk to a laloo or a mulayam or any other politician. Unfortunate that the CJI put himself thru this.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Karan Thapar: But, if there is an allegation, will you probe it diligently?

K G Balakrishnan: Certainly.

Karan Thapar: You won’t be worried by the fact that you could embarrass yourself because he is a fellow judge who sits in the Supreme Court with you. That won’t concern you?

K G Balakrishnan: Certainly, I have to discharge my constitutional obligations.

Karan Thapar: And you will do it fearlessly and diligently.

K G Balakrishnan: Of course, I have taken oath for that.
