Victims of a Judicial System

http://ia.rediff.com/news/2006/jun/07best.htm

While at college, once we were victims of a theft. Some poor guy might have thought that Engg students will have a lot of assets in their lodge rooms? I lost a small radio and some coins. My room mate lost a lot of audio casettes - Mukesh and Rafi stuff. And a dhoti - may be he used it to wrap the items. We did report at the police station. No followups. We lost only this much. Why to lose more time and get into more difficulties with the police system?

Best bakery case is not much different either. The victims - they lost their near and dear. Real people. And in front of them. No one would ever think of not following up. So not to blame Zaheera and co. But probably through the course of the honorable proceedings of the judicial system, they would have realised the hard truth. What the Judicial System calls Justice is not the nown thats found in the English dictionary. This is only a designation in the court rules. Lost everything, better not to lose much time and start living. And if Modi offered money, accepting it makes sense than to go to court every day. Rational, if not just.


Suddenly the Indian judicial system has come out of sleep. You can have fun with people's lives, but not with the courts. In a turn of a day, Zaheera is now an accused. The court is now behind her.

And the original accused? Anyway victim is not complainant anymore? Who worries about that?

This is a new case between the court and a lady called Zaheera. Court won - they have declared victory by themselves.

May be I am disrespecting the Judicial system? Respect is something which good actions would bring in naturally. Not something which power can command. Unfortunately courts are now becoming the old monarchs who demanded that people respect them.
