Gopal Subramanium on the Supreme Court bench will not be in the national interest. Hope it does not happen.

Why do I say this - 

His role in certain high profile dubious terror trials is questionable, Afzal Guru, the David Headley connect to the Mumbai blasts. the Kasab trial, the cover-ups with national security implications. 

The Niira Radia tapes mention.


From http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?268082

"RT: But now with the new attorney-general or whoever he is...
NR: No, Ratan, that’s a good thing. I’ll tell you why—because he can only handle constitutional matters. The solicitor-general is the gentleman—I told you about the swimming pool thing—Gopal Subramaniam. He’s the guy who will be doing the interpretation. I’m going to see him. I sent him a message and he said he will call back at 5.30-6 when he gets free and is home. So I will be briefing him.... Actually, he hates them (the Anil Ambani group). I’m not sure he’ll agree to what they say. He’s an upright person.... I think Raja will be trying to get in the AG. He briefed PM yesterday about 3G saying he wants to put up a cabinet note and doesn’t want to go to the GoM. They’ll do all this drama but I don’t think there’ll be 3G auctioning before March next year. They’re not gonna do it in a hurry. And the only reason they want to do 6.25 (MHZ) for Anil is so that he can get AT&T to buy into his company. AT&T is talking to him right now, Ratan.
RT: I see..."

This is what I have to say in response to an objection to my views by someone at http://www.legallyindia.com/201405144711/Bar-Bench-Litigation/rm-lodha-s-ace-in-sleeve-rohinton-nariman-gopal-subramanium-2-others-to-become-sc-judges-writes-the-hindu#comments

These are not "loose and unsubstantiated allegations". These are valid comments, there is something called transparency, the Radia tapes mention of Gopal Subramaniam is on the record, and it shows that Radia had access to him as Solicitor General on 2G issues, how and why?

Remember the uproar created by the CBI about Raja's lawyers being present during a CBI meeting with Gopal Subramaniam on 2G?

The questions about the Afzal Guru trial, the Kasab trial and the cover up of the larger conspiracies in both attacks (Parliament and Mumbai seige)are not invalid. There are credible questions asked by many persons of credibility in the public domain about what really happened and who was involved in the attacks. Both Guru and Kasab were small fry.

It would be a fair comment that there were serious issues/ questions as to whether Guru and Kasab got a fair trial.

Look up the wiki-leaks cables on Kasab's trial and you will appreciate my point that the trial could not be described as fair.

This is not to say that Kasab was not on the "team" that carried out the attacks.

Gopal Subramaniam was involved in the prosecution of both of them.
