YUP! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER !!!!!!

[Editorial Note: On 8th February, I hd written this blog post, about the judgment of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court upholding the administrative detention of Mian Abdool Qayoom, the 76-year old President of the Jammu and Kashmir Bar Association. In that post, I had pointed out that the High Court’s quotation of a line spoken by the Greek King Menelaus, in Sophocles’ play Ajax (itself copied without attribution from a prior judgment by Dipak Misra J) was unwittingly revealing: it demonstrated how Qayoom’s detention could not be justified under any framework of legal or constitutional reasoning, but only by an appeal to the brute power of arms (sticking with classical Greece, as the Athenians would say, “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”)

A judgment by a division bench of the J&K High Court – also involving Qayoom’s detention (now approaching its tenth month, without trial) has achieved the spectacular feat of besting even the February judgment’s Greek fantasies in its intemperate language, its partisanship, its ignorance of basic constitutional principles, and its desire to defeat all other comers in achieving a swift and seamless merger of the judiciary with the executive.
