Time for Reconstruction !!

Time For Reconstruction !!

For 15th august 2007, i.e. the 60th independence day edition, the Deccan Herald editor had invited for the views from the readers, on any one single achievement they are proud of since the country’s liberation from queen’s rule. I had sent mine on judiciary. Though it was published, it was shortened. It’s not the matter of concern now. It’s the change in view of mine, from what i was proud of to what am ashamed of.
It was a time, when landmark cases like Minerva Vs union of India, Indira Gandhi Vs Narainan,  recent Telgi’s stamp paper scam case etc made every Indian proud of  our judiciary system. To be blind to see dark side and to see only bright side gives a lopsided picture. Take recent cases like Jessica’s case, Ruchika’s case or 26/11 attack case, we have to admit that these cases make us think of whats happening around in terms of justice. For some its no matter of concern but for others, it is a matter of concern. Questions pops up, Have we done enough ?  Couldn’t we have done better ?. Every year thousands of cases are been dropped for one or other reason, while others go into pending list. Speaking frankly, our judiciary system has not been treating all in same way. They keep pulling some cases for years for no reason.
When we look around ourselves we find that there is so much to correct. For that, we need to take a better look at the issues bothering the smooth run of the system. For many years, the greatest problem that confronted the system was corruption. But for now, at least from my perspective, it’s the weakness of our law system or what they call the loop holes of  the law. Why is this ?? This is because of change is perspective. The situation then, i.e. when the law was written, and now is completely different. We have come a long way now, passing it. The view is better and the dimensions are wider. So this gives us a chance to think again, IS THIS THE TIME TO REWRITE THOSE LAWS ???. Remember, how strong might be...
