A
learned retired Judge recently observed on social media that India's feudal
mindset and not its failing legal machinery is the cause of rape and other
crime against women. My answer to the honourable Judge.
.........
Sir
I do not agree with you .... You said Quote,"....... that crime against women will continue
(despite all the hue and cry raised against it and despite making harsh laws against
it) as long as feudal remnants and feudal thinking persists ......".
Unquote ......... Dear
Judge Sahib Today in India the epidemic of rape is not a result of feudal
mindset but a failure of our legal machinery. Justice delayed is justice denied
but what happens if the justice it self is denied. We have not one but many
such cases like Jyoti murder case, Ruchika Case and so many others where the
victim and the victims family suffer endlessly and the culprit gets bail.
Recently 6 criminals burnt a a girl in Ludhiana
whom they had raped, and they could do it only because they were
released on bail by court of law.
I fail to understand
how a learned Judge of your stature is , trying to give societal reasons to a social
evil which is continuing blatantly only and only because the criminal is
emboldened due to a rusted executive and
slack legal machinery. I fail to understand why the Nirbhayaa rapists and murderers are still alive.
Is that because of feudal mindset
? The day Nirbhaya
culprits are hung you will see how the rape rate falls in India. And if every
criminal is delivered to his just ends crime will simply disappear.
During the times
of Rajas the judges may not have had as great a family lineage as you and may
not have studied the modern law of today but they were honest and did their job
well. Two hangings in a state as a result of quick justice and women could walk
the country loaded in gold. How was that possible ?
Increasing
incidents of rape in India are purely the result of our bad judicial system
where it takes ages to decide cases of such serious nature. Thus emboldened
criminals turn serial killers or/and rapists, as they are able to slither out of the legal net with in no time
to further pollute and intimidate the civil society. I hope and pray that the
Judiciary takes responsibility for this and does what is expected of it to
do....... Deliver quick, decisive and foolproof verdicts, make good prudent and
Just Judgements, uphold them and ensures their time bound execution.
