The Justices of the Supreme Court

It is not so funny to see the messy happenings in the Supreme Court where two justices have a financial interest in the case they are hearing pertaining to the Ambanis. Even the judges' family members work for companies that have links to the Ambanis.

It would appear that the Ambanis have spread their tentacles to every vein of India, as it were.

This is sad. In the U.S., there are strict ethical standards which judges have to maintain. The President's wealth is of course managed by a blind trust for the duration of his presidency so that he is not tempted to take decisions that would benefit him personally.

India is a long distance away from formulating the required rules and regulations and practicing them.
