A rogue of rogues.
(Ref.: <https://m.thewire.in/article/law/justice-arun-mishra-judgments-analysis> or, for a briefer account: <https://sabrangindia.in/article/nhrc-chairmanship-contender-justice-arun-mishras-legacy>.)
From watchdog, the NHRC now transforms into an attack dog - of the regime.
Yet another act under the Demolish "India" project.
<<Former Supreme Court judge, Justice Arun Kumar Mishra today took over as the Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Justice Mishra had retired from the Supreme Court in September last year.>>
Keeping in mind the paucity of the likes of Gogois and Bobdes among the CJIs, the law had been amended less than two years back:
<<The law also stipulates that besides a former chief justice of India, as is the current requirement, a former Supreme Court judge can also become the NHRC chairperson.
Similarly, a former high court judge can also become a state human rights commission chairperson, besides a retired chief justice of a high court, according to the Act.>>
That's how.
