It is a pity if some people feel uncomfortable with the warmth that radiates from it.And fail to derive support from it. It is patent that the investigation remains incomplete. And the findings under such circumstances remain inconclusive.At least in the matter of the alleged racket in price of Indonesian coal sold to power-plants it seems SEBI could have gained access to the relevant documents with a bit of patient hard work and with the help of government and the latter was in no position to deny that assistance. Things remain perilously under a cloud permitting proliferations of doubts and rumours affecting confidence of the people in the strength of the constitution and its core values like power limited by law,and of course secularism.
