The findings of the Honourable Supreme court has to be discussed in public.In a criminal case the benefit of doubt has to be given to the accused.Here the case is the result of a political ventata.No supporting evidence to coroborate the versions of the witnesses who are none other than the real culprits worked in KSEB(may be in the opposit union.The Government has no role in KSEB's Day to Day affairs except in policy matters.Then how a minister become accused?
I think there is something...........V S........HARIKUMAR..........ARUNKUMAR..............
