 A recent Indian Supreme Court pronouncement pulling up, rather sharply, the Government of Karnataka has caused many a ripple in the placid judicial waters worldwide.Jaal has woven this web from inputs of its global network for the restricted benefit of its patrons. More than the silks, it is the tribe of the politicians who have been jolted by the highest court of the Indian judiciary. Already, it is learnt, a move is afoot to move the Sri Lankan Supreme Court, praying for the dismissal of the Kumaratunge regime for the continued inaction or failure or both in apprehending LTTE supremo Velupillai Prabakaran. The prayer refers to the call by the New Delhi court to the Government of Karnataka to 'quit' if it cannot ensure law and order in case something happens to an ageing actor held captive by a forest brigand who has defied the law for many years now. Washington is agog with speculation that some overzealous 'ambulance chaser' is tired of chasing vehicles and wants to hitch his luck to the latest bandwagon provided by New Delhi and is going to move the Supreme Court of the United States of America that unless Osama bin Laden is 'taken care of', no administration should exist either in the White House or Capitol Hill. Official spokespersons of the White House, departments of State, Judiciary and Interior are already sounding 'friendly' hacks not to splurge any such prayer if and when it happens to land on their laps, sorry, laptops. Not to be left behind, the mother of democracies has also cause for worry. Phlegmatic London will not admit to any sense of alarm. What if the Privy Council is asked to pronounce (is the question haunting White Hall and Number 10, Downing Street) on the way the Irish question is handled or not handled. According to reports, Islamabad is not worried since CEO General Pervez Musharraf himself is unfazed by anything happening in any place other than the LoC. Beijing and Moscow are also not unduly agitated. Jakarta may be anxious but this will be discussed only when President Wahid manages to remain awake long enough. As long as the dollar will not fetch two hundred yen, Tokyo will not allow itself to be bothered by what may or may not happen to a mere forest brigand somewhere in southern India. Tokyo will however want to make absolutely sure the software pundits it wants to invite are not in any way infected by the 'Veerappan Virus'. Down Under will not look into anything unless it is even remotely connected with the Sydney Olympics. Fiji may be interested to the extent it helps in dealing with George Speight.
