Justice! Wonder does anybody understands its true meaning? I don't.
There are lots of things that are unique abt India..to start with culture, language and ofcourse the yummy food which everyone appriciates and talks abt. These days there are lot many things aprt frm good ppl talk abt India like its foreign relations (read US of A), economy...well to apty put u hear sub-continent and India is the first thing comes into my mind. "Sub" continent..wow thats pretty big but then a question pops up in my mind how easy it is to get justice here.
There is no doubt we in India have one of the finest documented law system in the world. Our constitution in itself is a master piece. However as they say "Nobody is perfect"..very true nthing is perfect...in this case i feel that law system in pur country is not anywhere near perfect.
If there is a new law coming we get to know well in advance and if anyone of us is frm a business class family u will definately know before that advice/suggestion has become a law, we have already found the loop holes to exploit it.
I have found our law system pretty strange, Firstly, for the sheer number of pending cases at all levels. Secondly, nobody believes in the system anymore...general belief is if a case has started it will go on forever..true very true (telling frm personal experience).
Then u have a unique way of getting justice. u have to start at the lower level say a Sessions Court where if u are lucky u will get justice in 5-10 years. If anybody is not satisfied with the judgement (it is impossible to satisfy a human being....humane nature) then we have High Court and the same procedure is repeated again and this time we get judgement in less time say 2-3 years .. again humane nature.. and we have the baap of all courts THE Supreme Court of India.. housed in a magnificient structure in delhi.
I wonder if one follow this path (many do actually) how long will it finally take get justice...hmmm.. i have no clue. But one thing is sure the scenes from Hindi films aptly applies (son taking forward the case frm his father)...the only difference is it doesnot get over in 3 hours it really goes on for a long time (personal experience again).
Well times are changing here, and the day is not far away when govt will set-up some committee for law reforms....my only hope is that it stays free frm political influence....

I don't agree to this. It not by all means not the best not even the better law system of the world. Thousands of laws have become archaic and lost its relevance. Newspapers regularly point out these laws.
Yeah it is sad fact that in India thousand and thousand cases are pending and those which are disposed makes mockery of justice than giving justice.
And our government, the Judge who acquitted all in Jessica Lal case was next day promoted to High court.
Our Judiciary needs far reaching and immediate reforms.
what i meant with this comment was atleast we have everything in writing, yea they are archaic and lost its relevance however they are well documented.
well ... India does have the longest ... not sure if its finest.
there is huge scope for improvement in the judicial system ... but indians have never acted unless there is a dire requirement to change.
one hopes things change for better ...
Yes it needs a big improvement. But I feel judiciary is one element of our setup which can still be expected to perform its duty sincerely.
i agree guys
when i read the post only 1 dialog came to my mind .. its from Damini:
"Tareekh pe Tareekh , Tareekh pe Tareekh"
thats the true nature of our system.. only long dragging never ending cases..corrupt judges.. justice system sucks...
appropriate dialouge akansha.. yea the system is corrupt.. hope the recent events shud change smthing
