Srikrishna's JudgeMendations

My View on  "Where the Twain Shall Meet": 

Now on FSLRC report should remain a reference point. As the FSLRC Chairman opted to write a report which he thought would satisfy the then FM and did not listen to his own colleagues in the Commission, or convince them as to why he was not able to go with them on vital issues, the final product (FSLRC Report) has several deficiencies that will surface as and when the government takes up the recommendations for initiating legislative or ‘executive’ action. Notes of dissent from 4 members out of seven who signed the report are indicative of the Chairman’s approach. The Commission wrote the report as if it was a ‘judgement’ whereas the task assigned to it was to make ‘recommendations’. The irritation being expressed by Justice Srikrishna in the context of Dr Rajan’s June, 2014 observations about certain ‘recommendations’ has to be viewed from this perspective.
