I came across this highly interesting quote made recently by a popular Judge while speaking at some function in Madurai:
"Abraham Lincoln's statement that 'Democracy is of the people,for the people and by the people' is entirely true even today except that the spellings have slightly changed.Today, 'Democracy is off the people,far the people and buy the people' "!!
I should add that some Judges have a good sense of humour at the court.For instance, in a recent case a guy tried to vandalise some statue.The Judge in question, rather than passing the customary judgement of a few days imprisonment, ordered the guy to spend an hour every day at the Gandhi library reading books on and by Gandhi!
In another case, when a person trying to settle some personal scores filed a Public Interest Litigation(PIL),the court remarked:
"PIL is not a pill for every ill!Approach the court through proper channels"
