Justice Kannan, shared his experience as a web blogger, where he critiqued various judgements and raised several unpopular questions fearlessly in interest of general public. He was one of the most prominent blogging judges but after a starred question was raised in the parliament on issue of blogging by a judge and criticism from amongst the judging community, he had to withdrew the blog. He said that his pre-occupation as a lawyer was getting at the truth and as a judge to closely inquire about what is the truth there.
NALSAR Lecture Series on Constitutionalism has conducted a panel discussion on 'Public Law and Access to Places of Worship - From Narasu Appa Mali to Haji Ali .
We had an amazing panel of Prof. Gerard Quinn, Prof. Faizan Mustafa, Dr. Kannan, Dr. Archana Parashar, and Dr. Vijaya Nagarajan, and . Further, Prof. Amita Dhanda moderated the discussion. The discussion was of great academic relevance to us especially in the aftermath of the Bombay High Court's decision holding the ban on entry of women to the sanctum sanctorum of the the Haji Ali Dargah, as unconstitutional. Interestingly, decades earlier the same High Court had held fundamental rights to be subservient to personal law.
In light of the recent protests and political activity in college campuses from Delhi to Hyderabad, civil society is fragmented on the extent, and the very existence of organized political movement in university campuses.
