JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED

Today I am going to write about something that has been one of the thing that India is lamenting about. One of the slowest but not steady process. Today I am going to discuss about the justice amenities of India which has caused misery to many people and has proved to be an affliction to thousands of people because of its slow but not steady process.
According to a recent revelation and disclosure by the RTI ( RIGHT TO INFORMATION) 43 lakh cases are pending before the high courts of India contemporary. Indian justice has caused grief to thousands of people because of its slow process and thousands of loopholes . If you embroil in a court case then you need to spend many years even for some scuffles or baseless cases lacking authenticity. There is a very acclaimed quotation which carries a very big and straight forward meaning. That quotation is "Justice delayed is justice denied" but our judiciary seems to flout and dupe this quotation because now a person has to wait for a very long time for even cases that have no base and are illegitimate. People involved in the case have to spend their whole life wanting and demanding justice, but some cases are not solved even after the deaths of the plaintiff and defendant. But we people, who boast of having one of the best judicial system are not able to do anything. Thousands of innocents have to bear the burden of blunders and goof ups that they have not even committed. But we still are mute. According to information allocated by the law ministry, there are 43.22 lakh cases  are pending before all the high courts and out these 43.22 lakh cases 33.69 lakh cases are civil cases. Someday the judges are absent, some day the plaintiff or defendant wants to go to another court or they are not able to come to court and thousands of other reasons and lame excuses come to engulf the justice in the court cases. Thousands of fears surround the person involved in a court case, but we never think about them. This injustice has also become the roots of thousands of crimes . People who are eye-witness of things like accidents, murder etc. don't want to go to court because they think that once they enter in this problem, they have to continue going to court the lifetime and the second danger is of their life; that the culprits can get them killed or slayed down. The culprits are also happy with the slowness of the judiciary system in India because the judiciary takes a very long time to pass its decision and in this time the culprits pick out the lacunae and loopholes and then escape from the court and this thing exacerbate  and exaggerates the condition and  prevents thousands of people from gaining justice.


Thousands of cases appear in front of us in which even for committing a theft of 30-40 rupees a person has to spend many years in prison not because our system is very harsh but because of lack of justice and no court proceedings.
There is also a dearth of judges who decide the cases and on the other hand there are some laws which are good in one aspect but bad in thousands of aspects. For example special laws are made for ladies suffering from bad evils like dowry but nowadays some bad ladies are using these laws to threaten their husbands and do bad to them and their families, and this thing is one of the lacunae in our justice facilities and prevents the facilitation of the justice in our country.
Due to this injustice many people have to suffer for some crimes of which they are not even guilty of. There are very bad and serious effects of this injustice too. A person involved in the court cases can develop a very bad mental health which can land him into many scuffles and depression and can make him rude, he or she is not able to give time to his/her children and they have to pay a huge amount of their earning to their lawyers also which causes a lack of resources in their house.
 Oh! sorry. I forgot one thing. The lawyers. Some lawyers demand a huge amount of money from their clients and the client looses a big sum of his earning and give that sum to his or her lawyer. Some lawyers even try to extend the court cases so as to get as much money as possible from their clients and this leads to a delay and procrastination in justice.


CONCLUSION
Our law sign i.e. a statue with a black cloth on its eyes and holding a scale equal from both the sides to portray and teaches us that justice is equal for all human beings whether rich or poor, big or small, asset or liability etc. But we are nowadays not following that thing and are lacking behind. Now there is a need to do something to enhance the justice facility of our country. We all have to emerge out to do something.
So don't just sit at home, come out.
