- 5 years ago
Even as the storm over allegations by former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju that former Chief Justice of India R C Lahoti had granted extension to an additional judge of Madras High Court at the instance of previous UPA government refuses to die down, the family of the judge in question — Justice S Ashok Kumar — on Tuesday expressed dismay over the controversy.
"In our culture, we never talk ill of the dead. How can anybody talk ill about a person who died almost five years ago and hence is not able to defend his honour?" asked Ebi Ashok Kumar, widow of Justice Kumar, when reached for her comments on the controversy.
"I am very pained. My husband is not there to defend himself," she said. Justice Kumar passed away in October 2009.
