I fully agree with Indira Jaisingh when she says that the police is sticking to old methods of investigation and not using modern and scientific methods for investigation. Take for instance the cases of false dowry harrassment cases (498A IPC), where more than 90% cases are false and police spend lot of time harrassing innocents and do not drop alleged accused in investigation stage only. When the case is referred to trial in the court, being a false case the court acquitt accussed - but eventually it end up wasting a lot of time of court. This kind of false 498A cases waste so much of court's time that cases with much more merit (like Jessica Lall's) end up in a trial spanning over 7 years with acquittals. It is the joint responsibility of media/police and society to highlight the misuse of such dowry cases so that court can put much more time in henious criminal cases. False cases like dowry also create an impression in judiciary's mind that more and more cases are false and resulting acquittal in other criminal cases also.
