The reforms I expect in India - the next Generation

[Guest guest]

My dear friends and like- minded persons

 

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA – THE NEXT GENERATION   (WITH PARTICULAR

REFERENCE TO THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM)

 

Most of you have already been in receipt of series of mails under the caption

“The Reforms I Expect in India – The Next Generationâ€.  I did mention few

important changes to be brought into the Judicial System to create a confidence

amongst the people of India on the Existence of Law and timely justice and also

quality justice becomes possible on the holy land. It is to be remembered that

once upon a time, Judiciary was considered supreme even the kings were punished

severely by the Judiciary.

 

 It is a fact agreed by the learned scholars of Law that “Justice Delayed is

Justice Denied†which does mean that timely justice is a must.  The second

point agreed upon is “though a criminal is let free, surely an innocent should

not be punishedâ€.  The innocent gets punished in two ways, 1) by the lapse of

time and 2) by biased Judgment.  These points are exactly the base of this

paper whereupon reforms expected are placed for a discussion and an outcome. 

My knowledge in legal matters may not be sufficient to appropriately suggest the

changes wanted, but my logical reasoning expects the following and this is to be

further modified and analyzed by the masters in the related field.

 

I really do not know why and how the Jury system was dismissed in Indian

Judicial System when the law mostly was copied from the foreign codes.  As

earlier suggested a time frame work for civil cases help the people to build up

confidence on the system, while a re-introduction of the jury system may help

largely in criminal cases.  Again, honestly to speak, letting out criminal is

nothing but doing injustice to an innocent.  Criminals should not feel that

they can take shelter under law through the weak links of law in the prevailing

situation.  I feel that a Jury panel to be maintained by each court which

entertain criminal cases, and that the members of the jury should be drawn from

the public other than the empanelled advocates.  A case also may be considered

where 20% of the Jury are from the legal side and the rest from the senior

citizens and senior citizens alone who are supposed to have maturity at

thought.  A large panel to be maintained

and a list of jury for each case to be drawn through a machine (human element

to pick up the members of jury to be avoided as far as possible which gives room

for dilution of the system in the existing conditions).  Perhaps law has to be

amended in such a manner that proper reforms are introduced at least from now

on.

 

It is really matter of appreciation that the Judiciary now-a-days is firm in its

decisions like holding the Government responsible for the attacks on Indians in

Australia; publicly coming out by some judges of Madras Court without fear or

favor, on the Ministers for influencing the Justice; holding the Government

responsible for the irresponsible attitudes of the Registrars in AP and many

such.  Only Judicial system cannot clean the entire dirt and it is time WE all

join and through thought provoking ideas whereupon with a hope that some one –

in the system would hear to the cries and takes care of the system.

 

We have committed people as is seen in the administration of the poll conduct in

the recent elections by the Election Commission as well by the Police

Administration.  We have many quality based people and quality supporters and

let us try to upkeep the quality and help at least the next generation to have a

safe and purposeful life on the Holy Land of India.
