JUDICIARY – A NEED FOR CHANGE
Our life and administration have undergone sea changes.
A calm life has become a busy one.
The number of people on the planet has increased to more than 10 billions.
The need of the population has enormously augmented because of the greed.
The administrative changes are made to suit certain situations.
People, who are in the helm of affairs, keep silent on many issues which are likely to affect them.
Therefore, the law and order in many countries have lost their control.
The judgment has lost its charm.
The judges have become biased and corrupt according to people who are affected.
In some cases, they are kind towards criminals and the punishment awarded is not implemented.
It takes years to settle a case; even the criminals agree that they have committed the crime.
It’s all because of the volumes of law-books written by someone who lived in a century which has not dreamt of the changes of today and the future.
Those rules are not suited for today’s world and today’s unlawful activities.
Because of the advancement of electronic technology, it is easier to commit a crime and escape.
Government spends so much energy and money to capture the unsocial elements.
The process of enquiry starts afterwards for years together to arrive at a conclusion.
The enormous number of cases pending in courts is a burden both for the clients and the judges.
Depending on the severity and cruelty of cases, the punishment has t o be awarded with available clear evidences.
The judges have to be given the freedom to punish the persons who are caught red handed.
Nowadays, in a vast country like India
Some fortunate ones get the work whereas most of them do not get work.
So they think of short-cut ways to earn money.
They pick pockets for money, jewels and other valuables, steal vehicles, kidnap kids for ransom etc. etc.
Even educated persons are also involved in such illegal activities.
In a recent incident at Chennai, an engineering graduate with MBA from a foreign university and a diploma holder in Mechanical Engineering kidnapped a 13-year-old boy.
The police nabbed the culprits with all clear evidence.
How much time is required for a judge to write a judgment for this case?
Severe punishment only can bring down such unwanted, unsocial elements in a society.
Those who do not have fear on petty punishments and judgments, continue to involve in illegal activities.
Judiciary has to think very seriously on the mode of judgment and award of punishment.
It is high time to think of right changes to create a fear in the minds of millions of people who do not unsocial activities.
Corruption, rape, kidnapping, stealing, cheating, killing are cases handled by police and lawyers without awarding severe punishments.
Nowadays people know fully well that the judiciary is a way out for getting off from wrong-doing.
I feel that the judiciary has to be strong enough to inject an element of fear in the minds of people by punishing severely.
There are many flaws in judiciary – everyone complaints – but no one is thinking seriously on improving and changing the system.
If we continue with the out-dated judicial laws, we may end up in more crimes and unsocial activities in our country.
My Lord, kindly look into it…Judicial Reforms – the need of the hour!
