"No matter how high a person you are, the law is above you," Justice Devan Ramachandran said and added that people in power, who understand the laws and the government, should be held more accountable.
No one is above the law, not even those in power, the Kerala High Court said on Monday while directing the state government to take action against those who erect illegal flag poles irrespective of their affiliations.
"No matter how high a person you are, the law is above you," Justice Devan Ramachandran said and added that people in power, who understand the laws and the government, should be held more accountable.
The observations by the court came after it found violation of its order not to erect any more flag poles illegally in Kerala, by the ruling party in the state.
"I am not concerned by the colour of the flag, here it is red. This is a blatant violation. We can understand if common people or those not in power or those in the opposition do this. But should those in power do this," the judge asked the state government.
