Why this trial by Media on Justice KGB?

The latest whipping boy of the mainstream media is Justice K.G.Balakrishnan.They are projecting him as the icon of corruption in Judiciary.No doubt,there are corrupt Judicial officials in judiciary.A few have come under public scrutiny,but quiet a few have managed to escape the public notice.
But before crucifying a person,whose public conduct has so far been non controversial,should not somebody ask what are the charges against KGB?Nobody seems to have asked that question and hence no answer also has come.The truth is that there is no allegation against KGB as of now. Yes,there are allegations against his son in laws and one of his brothers.They seem to have amassed wealth beyond their declared sources of income.The mainstream media alleges that they acquired this wealth when KGB was the Chief Justice.It resembles the lamb and wolf story of Aessop Tales...If not you,it is your father in law,if not you it is your brother!!!

If the son in laws or brother of KGB has acquired wealth beyond their declared sources of income,let a free and fair investigation take place against them.KGB's son in laws were not  in public service or had anything to do with Government Service.His brother was a Government pleader and hence in government service,in a manner of speaking.There are mechanisms to enquire on both the type of people.Our income tax sleuths are good at their job provided there are no political interference,so is CBI,so is the vigilance.Let them do their jobs and if the threads ultimately lead to KGB or for that matter anywhere else,so be it,let them undergo the punishment at the long arms of Law.

Like any other human being,Human Rights Commission Chairman also has his right to be granted the status of not guilty until he is declared guilty.Media cannot throw innuendo's against a person against whom no concrete allegation is there.If his sons in laws or brother has committed a crime ,merely because he was holding a high position,how can he be held responsible?

Remember the ISRO Espionage case which the media celebrated way back in 80s?(or was it 90s?).There were some loose talk in Trivandrum linking certain Scientists in ISRO,Trivandrum and a Maldivian lady which a "smart" Police officer made the subject of enquiry.Media ever hungry for sensation celebrated it by making a script which can easily qualify for a Hollywood,Bollywood or Kollywood blockbuster!!!! Finally what happened?Nothing.There was no concrete evidence against the scientists.All that could be achieved was that their lives were ruined.The investigations could not prove anything against them.But the social stigma remains.Their respectability in society is gone.All for the fertile imagination of some media men.

Let us not fall into the traps of media men and crucify the innocents.Todays world,truth once burried,hardly surfaces again.
