let us know about his good or controversial rulling during his tenure as a justice. hope this is not a fix of congress for many terror related cases going on in gujarat courts.
ashwin patel (usa)
By looking to his appointment recently in Jammu Kasmir and within 6 months he is coming to Gujarat. As in Gujarat, the new terror related cases will start.
I AM 100% AGREE WITH ASHWIN PATEL’S FEEDBACK.
Congress leader sonia is playing very bad politics remaining behind the curtain. She has assign president of India but she is not taking any dicision but deputy president is Muslim so he might have taken this step.
I AM SURE SOMETHING IS GOING ON FROM CONGRESS BAD POLITICS TO WIN VOTES FROM MUSLIM.
Something is smelling in this appointment. We have to check out that whether this man was elevated as a judge in Kerala when there was a Congress party rule?
U Guys r absolutely right……this sick and MUSLIM goverment can do anything with gujarat…..But, dont worry Mr Modi can handle this type of political movemnt for gujarat…..May God Bless our bloved Gujarat…
i am very happy about your awairness,now no body can playing poor politics with gujarat,mastermind behind this issue is sonia gandhi-italian.something must be wrong,but we have one great shrikrishna(narendramodi)and we all are his hands.so mr radhakrishnan will be arjun in future.
Being a Keralalite, Justice,K.S.Radhakrishnan will definitley be an asset to the judiciary. He always used discharge his duties without fear or favour. He comes from a noble reputed family of high integrity. He never had a bad opinion at the Bar of the Kerala High Court right from his insception. The Gujarat people will be lucky to receive such a judge
this judge abolished school politics in kerala, i think commies didnt like him..he is very good..
