The aberration evident in Gujarat polity is indicative of the need for reform in the legal system. The deviant officers and politicians have become heroes for many. Revenge is no substitute for justice. Revenge begets more terror.
The need is for closing obvious loopholes, more decentralization and empowerment of officers to dispense justice and evidence gathering. Higher detention powers for political-executive authority to act decisively are not as important as it is to absolutely prevent misuse of legal machinery to delay or even subvert justice.
Though manifesting itself in grotesque polity, it is less of a political failure and more of an administrative failure. Such unconstitutional power generated and protected in Gujarat politics skews in favour of the payer of user charges, who also seek to perpetuate it by funding such aberrant politics.
This is a clearly evident short circuiting of governmental structure.
