Fraud in the name of law making

An new law on “Honor Killing” is in the works.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/newdelhi/Bill-to-curb-honour-killings-soon/Article1-561200.aspx

At the outset: I’m severely against honor killing!

But, this new law proposal raises question – can the Govt. please explain first why the slew of present laws related to culpable homicide and domestic violence not sufficient for honor killing? What will they achieve by this new law?

The justice delivery system in India is the most “unjust” given the crores of cases pending in various courts and more people victimized by this system rather than getting justice.

Nothing has been done for speedy justice delivery.

Still the govt wants to go ahead with some more bills prepared with skewed mentality!!

“Accused to prove innocence” = That’s the key phrase govt. likes a lot as it frees responsibility from their side to investigate in any case.

This is the biggest cruelty and most severe form & tool of oppression of basic human rights of any person.

The accused is made to run from pillar to post and the whole system keeps moving with lethargic progress.

This phrase has been put in a slew of recently proposed bills like Sexual Assault bill, Sexual Harassment at Work Place bill etc.

This “unjust” provision of law is the KEY reason why so many false cases are filed under other laws like IPC 498a/Domestic Violence/Rape etc.

We don’t expect that the govt and law machinery are so naive to not understand that it’s difficult to prove something that has not happened as compared to something which has happened??

Then, why for heaven sake they make these skewed laws which defy the basic principle of natural justice?

The reason is simple that it’s more easy to pay lip service than to do actual good.

They want to project themselves as doing “something” for the “just” cause.

The implementation is cleverly ducked under the state’s carpet –

“Law and order is state subject” – remember this statement from Mr. P.Chidambaram related to Maoists issue!!!

Then these states let loose their ineffective, insensitive, poorly trained and highly corrupt police, lawyers and courts upon the unsuspecting people of the state!!

Stats are churned out year-on-year that crime is increasing??

The govt. seems to suggest that the crime is INCREASING as our India is getting more EDUCATED and PROGRESSING by the day!!!
