The Calcutta Weekly Notes July 28 1947

This has been due let it be said to those British Judges who trained in the atmosphere of the British Courts carried the British tradition into this country and without fear favour stood between the oppressor and the oppressed between the executive and the people. [...] This is a necesary corollary to the conferment on the High Courts of jurisdiction to enforce the fundamental rights and will put an end to the doubts cast upon the powers of the High Courts by some recent decisions of the Privy Council. [...] We hope that Sir Cyril will take the trouble of going through all the memoranda of organisations representing the territory not covered by the memranda of the Congress the Mahasabha and the League to ascertain the wishes of the people and that he will not consign them to the waste paper basket. [...] Unless the decision of the Commission which will dcide the fate of millions of people is fair and just to the communities concerned the Nationalists in Bengal will challenge it and have it unsettled as they unsettled the settled " fact of the partition of Bengal by Lord Cur zon in the early years of the prsent century. [...] That perhaps explains why the judgment.of the Lords of the Judicial Committee does not contain so much as a bare mention of the mode of approach that two learned Judges of the Calcutta High Court prayed in aid for a solution of the problem which chance and the parties submitted to their weighty consideration.
