Born into a family living below the poverty line in Kuk village, how did Justice Shivraj Patil, who travelled 35 km every day in a bullock cart to complete his schooling, make it all the way to the Supreme Court? This is the essence of Shivraj Patil in his autobiography. Past time and distance walked.

The judiciary in the country is a part of society and that is why the judiciary is the third pillar of democracy. What is their role in society even after retiring as judges in this field? That was the speech of Justice (Retd) Shivraj Patel in Madurai.
Retired Justices Shivraj Patil and Karpaga Vinayagam, both from Madurai, have crossed the age of 80, but their social contribution is important for the next generation. Their contribution to the society was proved by the intelligentsia even after their retirement.
Madurai Kalaignar Centenary Auditorium! Is it such a crowd? The auditorium was attended by students, the general public and the judiciary. Justice Mahadevan and Justice Jayachandran of the Supreme Court were the chief guests of the meeting and delivered special addresses.
At the release of the book ‘Past Time and Distance‘, the students were informed about his contribution to the society. He also said that the students of today are the builders of tomorrow’s society and they should work hard and move forward with hard work, irrespective of their family circumstances Patel and Karpaga Vinayagam. Their lives are exemplary not only for these students but also for the future generations.
That is the time they have gone by, the distance they have walked, this is what Justice Mahadevan of the Supreme Court said when he was speaking. Time is very important. If we lose time, we will not get it back. Life is about making the most of such important time.
Shivraj Patil started his life’s journey from a bullock cart to the Supreme Court today. That decision was made in court, however, and what is his contribution to society? He has done so many good things and his contribution through the Shivraj Patil Foundation Foundation, what good things are he doing for the people?
It is also noteworthy that every member of the trust is working with no expectations. Even after his retirement as a Judge, his service to society is highly appreciated.
Likewise, Justice Karpaga Vinayagam presented a book titled “Naalum Oru Nar sin Danai ” to the people and students present there.What is the need for the judges to publish a book titled Justice Karpaga Vinayagam and the day is a good thought? For advertising? Or is it for fame? Nothing is needed. They have everything. How did they come to be?
This is the legacy of experience that we will leave to tomorrow’s society, students and youth! What is the use of this in valuable history? It is that the benefits should reach the young students of tomorrow, and that is the main objective.
The paths we traversed were difficult. How did we deal with all that hardship? Whether it is the judiciary or other departments in the future, how will the society of tomorrow make itself a symbol of pride? This is the concept of a fundamental experience of an important life.
Moreover, they are not taking this matter to the common man but to the educated students. This is the aim that tomorrow’s society should grow and live as a good society, and this is what the social contribution of retired judges in this book release ceremony came to light.
How has each of them contributed to the judiciary? Who have benefited from this? Who saved their lives? When Justice Shivraj Patel was honoured on that stage, it was visible.
Similarly, when Justice Karpaga Vinayagam was honoured there, it was shown that he was a symbol of the society. When I was standing next to Justice Karpagam Vinayagam on the dais, a man identifies himself as Ayya Vaikundarajan. Then I asked him if he was the owner of News 7. He forgot. Sir if not, I would have definitely suffered in a case and saved myself.
Why am I saying this? If! How important are the judges in the judiciary? They not only establish justice in the society, but now it is very important to establish justice in politics as well. Today, if the corrupt are saved, then the country is in danger and the society is in danger.
Similarly, if we write in the newspaper that they are good, capable and honest! It’s a danger to society. Danger to the country. Today, the central and state governments are giving concessions and advertisements to newspapers that can write like that.
All that has to be weeded out. It is up to the judiciary to save this press. That is the state of journalism today.
How many newspapers and television channels are disseminating news to the public in the field of journalism…..?Also,
The selfishness of the newspaper and the personal gains! This is the business of 99 per cent of the press today. It is not possible to publish news freely without political interference. That’s their opinion.
It’s the corporate company newspapers that say this. They are the only ones who run newspapers and television with people’s tax money. But even a small percentage of newspapers, which are for the benefit of this social and anti-corruption newspaper, are being cheated by the Circulation Act.
Officials of the central and state governments, who do not know the meaning of circulation, are destroying this journalism. It’s their selfishness, who will pay the 30% commission? If you refuse, let the CBI investigate it and then it will come out. Why do they advertise through agents?
Crores of people’s tax money are being wasted on newspapers and televisions that are detrimental to the society and the country by researching the welfare of the society, the interest of the nation, the respect and respect that such newspapers deserve.
This is what the makkal adhikaram website has been constantly telling the central and state government news departments. And how does the Circulation Act determine this? They think that the body is bigger, that life is bigger than the body, and if there is no life, it is a corpse.
That is, the quality of the news, the truthfulness, the importance of the society? What is important to the nation? Make a list of which ones and analyze the newspaper. Is circulation important to you? No, is the newspaper’s news important to the people?
What is the impact of this on the society by wasting crores of people’s tax money in the form of advertisements and concessions to the newspapers that can do business? Have any journalists ever revealed this? Or has any newspaper revealed it?
The Makkal adhikaram has been reporting this to the media for more than a decade in a row.The top brass who have worked in this field are well aware. Readers of this news should not think that I am saying something.
This is because just as the judiciary has become important in the contribution of the society today, this field has also become important. That is why I am telling them this truth in front of such justice kings and I believe that they will definitely be able to bring about this change and it will be beneficial for the society. Justice Karpaga Vinayagam, while speaking, said on the stage that the book he had read when he decided to take his own life had saved him.
If only he had committed suicide that day! Today, the judiciary would not have got such a judge, the country would not have got such a social contribution. Similarly, the central and state governments should study and take action on how many newspapers can contribute to the society. Otherwise, the judiciary will have to put an end to this. The two are related to each other.
In other words, it is a great betrayal of the press to praise criminals as good and capable. Likewise, a judge saving the guilty is a punishment for justice. Even if the law convicts him if he is found guilty, it is the pride of justice to save him.
This is the connection between the two. It is not the job of the journalism industry to deceive the people by making it a business in the newspaper to spread such false information in politics today. It is against the society and the nation that crores of taxpayer money of the central and state governments are being wasted.
Therefore, this book is as important as it is for the nation and the society, as it is necessary to convey good ideas and facts to the people.
What is the purpose of justifying the injustices, corruption and mismanagement of political parties to the people to cover up their lies and speeches? Giving concessions and advertisements, whether the officials of the news department are bribing it? Selfishness is a clear explanation of the truth to the news industry.
What is the need to spend crores of people’s tax money for this? How can this be the fourth pillar? Moreover, when you read a newspaper on the internet today without any intention of buying and reading newspapers from the people, why should the news departments of the central and state governments not bring the website of every newspaper in circulation? Is this the corporate press and political intention?
There are thousands of political parties, what is the use of them? What is their social role? Similarly, there are thousands of newspapers. What is the quality of the newspaper? Will the intelligent society consider whether the selfishness of the ruling party and the income of the newspaper business are the selfish or public interest? And the stupid decision to judge a newspaper by the number of pages and circulation?
Will the intelligentsia think about this policy decision of the central and state government? Is this the public interest or selfishness in politics? Not only that, in this circulation, they have decided the newspaper in the field of journalism on the basis of business, weekly, monthly, twice a month. This is how for the last 50 years, the newspaper has been framed in favour of the corporate companies. Can be held. Also,
Newspapers run by the common man, even those who are competent, are unable to run a newspaper and the politics in it is so much that the people of the countryand the society will not be able to get honest politics.
The main reason for the increase in cases in the judiciary is the political identity of the fake newspaper image. Also, look at the politics of Kerala, where only those who are in political and social welfare are given importance on the basis of merit, and if they do not fight it and support the evil forces in the country, then the life of the common man is a struggle.
If the judiciary examines this, the truth will be understood.
If only people read and felt these facts deeply! Fake politics and fake politicians can be eliminated in the country.
