Judicial Employee suspended for failing to make Fish Curry for Judge

Sometime back, I have gone through a judgement by our supreme court in which Hon'ble court has been pleased to observe "Judiciary is the repository of people's faith, last hope, last ray". The court further been pleased to observe the temple of justice may not crack from inside. Few days back, I have gone through a page clipping, published in Times of India, New Delhi edition, dated January 4th, 2013 under caption "Court Staffer suspended for failing to make fish curry?" Unfortunate and shameful on the part of a judge. It is also unfortunate, when the matter has been ignited by a public spirited lawyer before the High Court of Madras, the court has been pleased to dismiss the petition at the stage of admission itself, and pointed out that the affected employee had not chosen to bring the matter to the court.

This is the state of affairs in the subordinate judiciary of Tamil Nadu.

I hope, expect and trust, Hon'ble the chief justice, Madras high court will kindly look into the matter in the right perspective and direct the unbridled judges to behave like public servants and like a judge.

Views/comments solicited so that misery of poor employee may be discussed and such ugly scene may not occur with others. I remember, Dr. Justice RK Laxmanan, formal judge, Supreme court of India, who wrote regarding behavioral approach of judges towards their subordinate employees in his book "Voice of Justice".
