[IAC++] Growing Rapes in India - what must be done

First, a social law akin to the one on crimje against SC/ST or MACT whereby trial court can dispense with adhering to all rules of evidence and onus is on the person charged to prove his innocence must be enacted immediately with retrospective effect onn all cases pending in any court on the date the crime was committed. this law to have minimum punishement as Chem Castration.

2 - fast track courts be set-up for all rapes & heinous crimes WHERE THE ONUS ON COMPLETION OF TRIAL WITHIN A SHORT TIME - 6 MONTHS OR 1 YR - MUST BE ON THE JUDGE.  obviously if some lawyer or police try to delay the COURT SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO PUNISH THEM.

3. the number of appeals should be restricted except in case of Death Penalty where itt may go to SC for review of Sentence alone.

4. each State Govt must be required by law to nominate an IAS officer - who would be responsible to put on a web-site all cases of crime against women with date oof occurence filing charge-sheet and progress of case among other details like Trial Judge, Police station where it is occuring and Public prosecutor.

5 Social organisations & media should periodically give out details of all criminal cases pending agianst Politicians, legislators MPs etc.
