Trial Courts Have Lost Their Spine” |Abhishek Singhvi

Breaking from Season One of Angie’s India Show.“The best compliment from the opposition was their fear.”Senior advocate and Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi delivers a blunt and deeply unsettling assessment of the case that sought to bar Rahul Gandhi from electoral politics for eight years.In this powerful segment, Singhvi argues that the issue goes far beyond one leader or one party. He raises a larger institutional concern:Why do trial courts and High Courts increasingly fail to correct what is wrong, forcing citizens to seek justice only at the Supreme Court?Referring to what he calls the need for “Vitamin G — Guts”, Singhvi questions whether judicial courage at lower levels has been replaced by procedure, formalism, and fear.From bail matters to PMLA cases, he suggests the system has become predictable — not in justice, but in escalation.This is not merely a political debate.It is a serious reflection on judicial independence, democratic accountability, and the cost of dissent in India today.🎙️ Hosted by Anjaleka (Angie) Kripalani🎧 Watch the full, unfiltered conversation on Angie’s India Show – Season One.#AngiesIndiaShow #AbhishekSinghvi#RahulGandhiCase #IndianJudiciary#JudicialIndependence #IndianDemocracy#CourtsAndConstitution #PoliticalAccountability#FearOfDissent #SupremeCourtIndia#BreakingPolitics #SeasonOne#LegalVoices #DemocracyUnderQuestion
