“Justice will
not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are,” said Benjamin Franklin. The release of the 20 year-old man who had
perpetrated the most diabolic deeds on a woman against whom he had no reason to
have any grudge highlights the helplessness of justice.

The law is helpless since it is bound to
follow the written codes. The criminal
was a juvenile when he attacked a 23 year-old paramedical student three years
ago in a cold winter night in Delhi. The
juvenile satiated his lust. Not
contented with that, he went on to gratify the monster within him by inflicting
the most inhuman atrocities on the hapless victim. And tomorrow he will walk free. Because the law is helpless! The law has to follow the written code that a
juvenile cannot be retained in the correction home more than three years.
What is the helplessness of the law doing to
the society? Letting lose a hardcore
criminal on the society just because he had not sprouted enough moustache
before he turned a devil?
The Juvenile Justice Amendment Act requires
immediate attention. Here is one attempt
to get the law amended so that justice won’t be so helpless as it is now. Your support by signing this petition will be
appreciated. Please follow this

ReplyDeleteOur judicial system is corrupt and defunct. Hope somebody takes a note of it seriously and does something about it sometime!
Our legislators are very prompt to revise their pay structure and give themselves all kinds of allowances and bonuses. But when it comes to bringing justice to people, they need years !
