The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the only panacea to rid the country of corrupt elements was to hang a few of them on the lamp post.

"The only way to rid the country of corruption is to hang a few of you on the lamp post. The law does not permit us to do it but otherwise we would prefer to hang people like you at the lamp post," a bench comprising Justices S B Sinha and Markandeya Katju remarked during arguments put forth by counsel for an accused.
