I. Increasingly it is observed that individuals who should set an example to their juniors are setting a bad example.

II. Corruption and other crimes by influential persons is increasing by leaps and bounds and needs to be checked, by punishing the influential promptly.


III. Public servants form a distinct class and a different treatment of a distinct class is permissible. As they get preferential treatment everywhere, they should be given preferential treatment in courts too, by expediting their trial.
