Confidence In The Institution Is Slowly Being Eroded : Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal To Supreme Court

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal on Tuesday told a Supreme Court bench that the confidence in the institution is being slowly eroded.

"We have great regard for the chair that you sit on, this is a marriage that cannot be broken between the bar and the bench, there is no separation here and once we realize what is happening sometimes at this end and sometimes at the other end, and it disturbs a man like me, who has given his life to this court", Sibal told a bench comprising Justices Ajay Rastogi and BV Nagarathna.

Justice Rastogi replied, "We always say that the bar and bench are the wheel of the chariot but ground reality is ….. These are two wheels god knows where the one wheel goes and where the other wheel will go while the chariot remain somewhere….. But still Mr. Sibal, end of the day we have to find out we all are concerned in this institution and this institution has given us…..So our request to the bar and to us also is to introspect as to how will we be able to sustain...how to sustain in such a nation where the faith of the common people may not be eroded, to the contrary it must be restored"
