IMPOTENT LAWS

Our Country has exhaustive laws. But is anyone there getting justice?. What use is of laws that cannot protect the innocent?.

Our courts have pending cases dating back several years. What is being done to clear the cases?. Over and above this, if one does not seem to get justice in the lower courts, he can appeal to higher and higher courts, thus demeaning the worth of the lower courts. With so many pending cases, why this should be allowed?.

What is the use if a case comes up for trials after so many years?. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Are the genuine cases tried and verdict given?. Whatever it is, the common man does not get justice. for eg. if an employer dispenses his employee without assigning any reason, the employee is advised not to approach the court because it will ultimately spoil his career. He is advised to gradually forget and carry on. Is this justice?. If a shopkeeper charges more than the label listed price, the consumer is advised to compromise and not take up the issue. Our so called consumer courts do precisely this. People who cheat and swindle with the investment of hard earned money are not caught and tried.

Criminals, Murderers, convicts, Rapists and the corrupt are let out on bail and finally go scot free because of their 'connections'.  The law is soft on landgrabbers, illlegal miners and producers of illicit liquor. No cases are registered against careless drivers from Government owned transport buses even if they kill, let alone their traffic offences.  What about Poachers, Doctors' negligence etc..?.

What is the quality of our lawyers?. Can the common man afford a lawyer?. Does it not happen that  the lawyers take the people for a ride by promising the moon and giving handful of sand after charging for it?. Who has to ensure this?. Is not the Government responsible?

In short, our law can punish the genuine but helpless against the real offenders. Common people can only trust God for divine justice. No wonder, in the land of Godmen, people can draw some solace.
