Shaking public faith in judiciary and instant justice by public
by Rajan Sodankur on Aug 04, 2008 01:22 PM   Permalink

Day by day public trust in judiciary is dwindling after seeing how poilitical leaders with vote base and power are treated with soft gloves and allowed repeated adjournments of hearings in public interest cases like disproportionate asset, political murders, MPs arested for intimidation and murders are being entertained in prisons with TVs and mobiles,Mumbai blast accused and endangered animal shooting filmy actors are roaming freely yet, action against erring judges in Ghaziabad PF withdrawal case are taken hesitantly and slowly whereas hundreds of undertrials are languishing in jail, even innocent people are killed in police "encounters". That is why Jammu is still burning with agitating masses; shootings among security and police staff are increasing daily.More and more police stations are being attacked by Naxalites as time apsses. People think justice will be delayed and have started adminstering instant justice themselves.I don't recall any instant when courts have taken strict action against any ruling politician. The moral if a person A incites and abets B to kill C, both A & B can be brought justice, even if slowly. But under political banners and stage managing agitations and bandhs and with the blessings of political leaders if A kills C and his clan during agitation/bandhs he will get away for ever and courts haven't taken any convincing action against such strategies.So people are waiting for such occasions to settle personal scores.God save India.
