'Contemptuous': AIBA criticises Kapil Sibal's remarks on supreme court

All India Bar Association (AIBA) has termed "contemptuous" the statement of former Union Minister for Law & Justice Kapil Sibal lamenting that he has lost hope in the Indian judiciary. 

"A robust system is insulated from sentiments & is influenced only by law. Kapil Sibal is a seasoned senior advocate. It does not behove him to decry judges & judgments just because courts didn't agree with his or his colleagues' submissions": Dr Adish C Aggarwala, Chairman, AIBA said, as quoted by ANI.

He added, "It has become a trend that when a case is decided against someone, that person starts denouncing judges on social media alleging that the judge is biased or the judicial system has failed".

"This is contemptuous & coming from someone of the standing of Kapil Sibal who was also President of Supreme Court Bar Association, it's unfortunate too. If cases haveN't been decided to liking of Kapil Sibal, it does not mean that the judicial system has failed," the Chairman stated.

"Sibal is an integral part of the justice dispensation system. However, if he actually feels a loss of hope in the institution, then he is free not to appear before the courts," ANI quoted Dr Adish C Aggarwala as saying.
