About two-three days back, there was an unprecedented event in the history of judiciary in India. A person being convicted for the last four years threw a bomb at the judge of the Faizabad court. Though the judge was saved and nothing unhappiness occurred, it poses a few questions to a common man. India gained her independence in 1947 A.D., it continued with the judicial system it borrowed from the British. No doubt, throughout the period of the freedom struggle, the system was highly citicised for its high costs and delayed tactics. Even then a few were able to extract the true justice. It is a common saying that justice delayed is justice denied. So why did our national stalwarts never thought of reforming the evils of the corrupted system, and that also for that for which they had been making the common masses aware of.
Second major defect in this system is that many a times justice is granted to a person who had already died many years ago. So what is the fun of such a system which is bent upon destroying many families for no fault of theirs. This reminds me of the subject matter of a movie, where a person was given life imprisonment for the murder of a man, whom he relly murdered 14 years later in the same court-room and in the presence of the same judge.
If we compare our system with that of Pakistan, we find many positive points there. After all, our so called national leaders must work for some betterment for the commen masses in stead of indulging in mutual cheap infightings. Otherwise the day will be near when the harassed lot of the Indians will raise the banner of revolt as had happened in France, Austria, Russia and China etc. There is no lack of such persons who can attack the judges in their seats, representing the corrupt system, but the need is for consciousness. And three or four such events will make the people well aware of what is in fact required.
