DESOUZA- THE HINDU, MARCH 30, 2015
After many articles that openly eulogized the
Supreme Court bench that had recently struck down the section 66-A without
REALLY ANALYSING what TRULY was GREAT about the Judicial Order or why anybody
should be treating it as a LANDMARK JUDGMENT, one has now come across a
genuinely insightful article in The Hindu, by Peter Ronald deSouza “ The
‘greatness’ of a ‘landmark’ judgment”.
Supreme Court bench that had recently struck down the section 66-A without

should be treating it as a LANDMARK JUDGMENT, one has now come across a
genuinely insightful article in The Hindu, by Peter Ronald deSouza “ The
‘greatness’ of a ‘landmark’ judgment”.
This article provides significant additional insight that
apart from the main judgment the additional observations/arguments that the
Bench of justices J Chelameswar&Rohinton F Nariman have appended to their main
Judicial Order striking down 66-A give us a “SOUND JURISPRUDENTIAL PRECEDENCE”!

This, the article rightly claims, will be helpful in taking
up Legal Battles against “ALL VAGUELY WORDED and CONFUSING/CONTRADICTORY
LEGISLATIONS” from any government as this judgment establishes that-“ It is
vagueness of operative words that must be disallowed because of its “chilling
effect ( of Section 66-a) on free speech”. Vague words are vehicles for state
tyranny. For freedom, precision is required”!

As such, author’s final conclusion that this judgment, ‘in
toto’,is both a “GREAT” as well as a “LANDMARK” JUDGMENT is truly the most
objective assessment of this judgment’s worth for all the citizens &
establishes once again that OUR HIGHER JUDICIARY especial SC Judges are best in
the World!
