Hollow Justice or call it victimisation

Judgements delivered after or over even 5 years (talkless of 10,15 or 20 years) can no more be classifed as “Justice prevailed”. Infact it would be more apt to address it as Justice delayed hence denied.

If to reach the stage of simple hearing or evidencing the court requires 6 to 7 years (or may be more) it already describes the quality of the legal system in place in our country.

Clearly in this prolonged process innocent (but accused) who might have managed to get bail somehow & were forced to put up with court appearances (50 or may be even more) on all the dates called for by the Hon’ble court, has already been victimised by the pathetic legal system in the country (if not by the false complainant).

The process assumes iconic status when the such a victimised person is surrounded by hounds (i.e. the bribe licking advocates,Investigation Officer’s & Court attendants) who leave no stones unturned to talk such a person into eventual pitfalls or alternatives against his will or liking at the cost of his comfort,time,money,peace & may be career.

This eventually becomes critical if the false complainant has gained an upperhand by misrepresenting the facts n figures initially & had got the accused arrested thereby brutally hurting his confidence leaving him no room to represent himself apropriately but to move like a puppet (before the trap laid out by this tricky judicial system) to save himself by managing a bail thru preset(to be read prepaid) norms and that at the mercy of the false complainant whose illogical demands financial or otherwise he may have had to “submit” against his will to ensure his own freedom or the freedom of his near n dear ones who may have also been trapped by the wily complainant or his designated “man/men  in black”.

In a country where the legal system is forcing millions of its citizens to go through this torture how can you say justice is even being delivered in the first place & then how do you compensate someone like Mr Girhotra or his son (in the infamous Ruchika case). His & his son’s life is typical case which luckily caught the eye of the media but there are millions who cannot afford media attention or how have perished hoping for justice…..
