(Revolutionary Short Story)
Contempt Of Court.......! (?)
A Press Reporter of a News Paper Network found out under RTI about Hotel Bills of a High Court Chief Justice and reported in his News Paper as under:
“CJ'S UNPAID HOTEL BILL FOR Rs.32,065/.......... THE BREAK-UP : Room Rent : Rs. 20,000 plus taxes Food : Rs. 5,065 (The Menu included Madras Soup(4), Mangalore Fish Curry, Chiken tikka masala, dal makhani, Navaratna Curry, Paneer bhukia, paratha butter nan, roti, jeera pulao (all 2 each) and raitha, garden platter, 4 mangoes with

What outcome will be there from their sane-insane intellects while delivering their supposedly expected most Balanced Judgement ? What their Judgement Orders will reflect ? Wont't it be "AS YOU EAT, SO YOU DECIDE & DELIVER"...? Will the Heavy, Sumptuous, Violent Non-Veg Food not affect their required right, balanced thinking and deciding ? Will it not be against the integrated TRUTH, the Absolute and Many-sided Truth, which they are supposed to derive and find out ?... Will they be able to be worthy of Love &
