Re: [IAC#RG] Don't our members have faith in the judicial system?

Friends,

We resort to the police only in desperation; we have little hope from the administration or their political masters; we go to court when all 

else fails. Sadly, even the judiciary more often than not fails us ordinary citizens of this country. What is the use of demanding yet more 

laws? We have some of the most progressive legislation in this country and the worst implementation. Court orders are repeatedly 

flouted but the courts do not seem to be concerned about this. Contempt petitions are taken lightly and no official or authority is ever 

punished for flouting orders. 

When I see the state of our courts and the endless delays and endless bureaucratic procedures followed by our judicial process it 

leaves me angry and bitter as it does so many nameless, voiceless people of this country.  The lawyers are rapacious, delays help 

them extract more money from clients and one never knows if one's own lawyer has been bought over by the other side....  The courts 

listen to the most expensive lawyers who come to court with a trail of juniors and hi-faluting reputations, the ordinary lawyer does not 

seem to get the same weightage.  

The state of the labour courts is the worst but no one bothers about them. After all it is only ordinary workers who are seeking 

reinstatement in jobs or redressal upon retrenchment. The fact that human lives and families are at stake does not matter. (II have 

seen retrenched workers starve, take children out of schools, send them to the village....I have seen workers lose their mental balance 

while waiting for justice). 

The courts are heavily backlogged with matters of property and government disputes. Why do the government departments litigate so 

much?  Are the property interests of the rich more important than matters of divorce, child custody and maintenance? Why are there not 

enough family courts? Why are there not enough criminal courts? After all these directly impact people's lives and security and human 

rights,

It is a different question. No amount of tweaking the law or new laws will help. It is a system failure that has allowed massive corruption to flourish, that has allowed the politicians to rule the country as their fiefdom, that has allowed the administrators to loot and allowed the police the convenience of the perpetuator. It is this system that needs to exorcised. And if we cling to our subservient all excepting attitude, then even flight to the Himalayas will be futile.
