Any nation which aspires to become developed
and prosperous superpower needs to work extensively and dedicatedly in every
area. No area can be nixed out as trivial and every matter has to be mooted up
for consideration and if we talk about the judiciary system then it’s a
paramount and cardinal issue. As far as democracy is concerned, no nation can
sustain sans a robust judiciary as its one of the three pillars of democracy,
the other two being legislature and executive. Now you can very well mull over
the fact that without a good judiciary, the building of democracy is certain to
be devastated into dust and in case of India we have everything except a good “JUDICIARY”.
Today India boasts of one of the most
promising and auspicious economies in the world, one of the world’s most
valiant and courageous army and also world’s largest democracy, but still today
we lack at a very crucial platform and that is the judicial system of the
nation. Even after 67 years of independence, India judicial has not observed
any reforms. Changes have been there but they are so minimal that they cannot
be deemed as a complete overhaul. Even today India judicial system is incapable
of redressing people’s grievances efficaciously. India has been a world Guru in
many fields but in this one unfortunately, India has to be edified.
It’s has been a sagacious aphorism
Justice Delayed is justice denied.
But I believe that Indian judiciary
has not been able to read this statement. In India people get justice when
their lifetime is denied by the God. Now I believe you can very well imagine
how inefficient Indian judicial system is.
A dog barking an accused is in itself
not a substantive piece of evidence to prove the accused in guilty, but in India
it is. The
incident dates back to September 2004, when the bodies of one Subhadrabai and
her paramour Nivrutti were found lying in front of their house. Police
investigations revealed that there was a dispute between Babar and Subhadrabai
over laying of pipes. The police called in the dog squad and the tracker dog
barked at Babar who was arrested for the murders. A trial court in 2005 held
Babar guilty of murder, while acquitting a co accused and sentenced him to life
imprisonment. Babar then
approached the High
Court in order to get his grievance redressed and after a duration of 10 years,
the High Court decided that Babar was wrongly implicated into the matter. Our
judges took around 10 years to decide that barking of a dog is an insubstantial
evidence to prove that someone is guilty. The man who has been exonerated now
had to face so many problems and difficulties and moreover he has lost his
irreversible 10 years of life which are priceless. The 10 years of life in
which he had to be in jail for no fault, the 10 years for which he could not
give to his children, the 10 years in which his children and family had to bear
so many hardships. There have been numerous of incidents like this before too.
A young boy had to gave away his 7-8 years for a pickpocketing which he had
never done. Is not it execrable? I believe it is.
There is a backlog of 30
million cases in India. Even if no new cases are filed, it will take about 350
years to dispose of them all. If a common man gets cheated or assaulted or
murdered his family will have to move heaven and earth to get justice which
will ultimately be denied to them. With
respect to the population on India, the ration of judges to people is 10.5: 10,
00000 which is no doubt the poorest in the world.
Even cases which cannot be filed take around a minimum of 5
years to be settled in lower courts. Government asks people to get their
grievances to court, but due to such procrastinations shown by the judges,
people even don’t want to hear the word “COURTS”. This is the true fact of India,
a great nation, where people today have to waste their whole life for crimes
they had never done. This is something which still shows that India has to move
a lot and in these 67 years of independence our judiciary has learnt only a
bit.
Think over it. Think over it.
May God
Bless You.
May God
Bless India,
Jai Hind,
Jai Bharat
Jai Ma
Bharti…
