It is *no longer* being mounted as RO.

The fsck fixed that when it recovered the journal.  

Exactly what "scrub" command did you use?  I can test to see if it results in damage to the journal and see if the issue is reproducible.

In your message of "Mon, 01 Sep 2014 04:23:14 +0530" you showed....

mount | grep /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/test type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

So, you demonstrated that it is now being mounted RW.

So, all you need to do is "change" permissions on the mounted file system to meet your needs.  Then you won't have to change to root, or use sudo. 

Look back on suggestions being offered by myself and others.
