Judge and judgment

The actions and reasons of actions are different things. Similarly a trial purely based on the law and if divorces all other factors, become farce. Laws operate on the society and their interpretation has to be done, keeping in view the resultant effect of the decision on the society as a whole, before it stays forever in a dull volume of precedents.
It is the responsibility of the Judge to measure the scope of the decree, and a Judge who masters this art is really a Judge.
However, it is also important that this weapon must not be applied in each and every matter. The certainty in the law has to be ensured at the same time. Relativity overwhelms and the variables of a judgment are simply too immense to determine the quality of a judgment.
The administration of justice is a very delicate responsibility. The reverence, protocols, title, position and attributes vested in the Judge should not be taken as his mere virtues. Thy Lord has to be bowed because of the divine virtues he carries in his position. Before the society realizes his acme status, the Judge himself should wholly upright his character.
