As two High Court judges face rare impeachment proceedings—one for a communal speech, the other for unexplained cash—the silence, delays, and internal mechanisms of the judiciary come under urgent national scrutiny. Can trust in the justice system be restored?

Actor-producer Kamal Haasan seems to be actively, and literally, courting controversy with his latest film Thug Life becoming the focus of courtroom drama, and now the Supreme Court turning it into a defence of free speech.

They produced what came to be known as the Bangalore Draft Code of Judicial Conduct—an effort to create a universally acceptable standard of judicial ethics around the world
