Congress has achieved its political objectives by using CBI, a caged parrot set up through an executive. Now, can it be ruled out that Nandan Nilekani, as a Congress candidate for the 2014 parliamentary elections, may use the Aadhaar database that is being created using an executive, to his and his party's advantage?

Justice IA Ansari, currently with Patna High Court deserves salute for calling spade a spade. As the judge of Guwahati High Court bench which is the High Court of Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh, he passed a landmark judgment on 6 November 2013 in WA No119 of 2008
(in WP(C) No6877 of 2005) setting aside and quashing the resolution of Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) dated 1 April 1963, whereby Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been constituted. The judgment has been challenged in the Supreme Court.
