Satya ki Kamai ke Saat Sau Rupaye

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

 Ashok ki Satya ki Kamai ke Saat Sau Rupaye is sarkar se Satta chheen lenge…When I parked my 2 Wheeler (DL3S AW4500), outside of Krishna Apra Appt. Near Fun Cinema, Netaji Subhash Place, Delhi (on March 3rd 2008 at around 12:00 Noon)

  • It is parking place for the building
  • There is negligible traffic movement on the road
  • It is almost secluded area
  • More than 100 other vehicles were also parked there
  • It was unlawfully towed away

For the recovery of my vehicle, I had to pay Rs.700/- which I earned just a few moments back. For a family of 2, Rs.700/- could keep the housefire burning for almost 7 Days.

Your only business is: Challan a common man for Rs.600/-.
It is none of your business whether:

  • He earned Rs.600/- by fair and honest means
  • He extorted Rs.600/- by armtwisting
  • He stole money or picked some pocket
  • He robbed someone of Rs.600/-

Well… I have 2 more unlawful challans pending since May and Nov 2007 respectively, which I had already denied to pay. Because I intended to begin my protest sooner. Now it is The Call of Duty, that I declare:

Meri nazaron mein yeh system ek charbi wala kartoos hai, aur main ise muh lagane se inkaar karta hoon

For, as A Child Indian, while growing up to be A Dutiful Young Citizen:

  • When I had starved, it was neither of my dad’s concern, nor of any government
  • When I had to drop my studies, it was no apprehension to my dad or any government
  • When I had been struggling for my career, it didn’t matter to my dad nor any government
  • When I had not filed my ITR, it was none of anybody’s business
  • When I did not cast my vote, nobody bothered about it

Then, if I drive without helmet… Is my safety on road anybody’s business?

How and Why? Concerned Authorities kindly justify!

Now I shall drive without wearing a helmet on Tilak Marg, from India Gate to The Supreme Court of India, as an Indicative protest
and shall continue to do so, unless we build a better system.

  • I am not setting any bus on fire
  • I am not trying to stop trains or to set it on fire
  • I am not causing any Traffic Jams
  • I am not addressing any rallies in the heart of the city
  • I am not causing any loss or damage to any living or non-living body
  • I am not causing any inconvenience to anybody
  • I shall be violating a law which is meant for my own safety

Whether I die of hunger, or of illness or of head injury, its none of anybody’s business.

I demand: Sampoorna Swaraj - My Fundamental Right

“Swatantrata aur Swaraj Hamara Janm Sidh Adhikaar Hai”

- Lokmanya Bal Ganga Dhar Tilak

If I can’t elect The Senior Leaders of My nation, it is not Sampoorna Swaraj

Ahimsa & Satyamev Jayate is in my veins, since the day I learnt the meaning of the name I am blessed and endowed with

For a better Judicial System

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

Jessica Lall murder case which was clearly an open and shut case, resulted in accquittal of all accused after 7 years long trial. Botching up of investigation and witnesses turning hostile, and some other facts, left our courts helpless in delivering justice.

The accquittal of accused  turned out to be a mockery of Law and Order. Moreover, it was even more ridiculous that entire focus of people in power was just on Witness Protection. As if only a witness is the foundation of Judicial System and Law & Order.

While most of us believe that there is a need to bring in many improvements in our Judicial System.

Criminal Justice System: Criminal Justice System should be revamped in such a way that the affected party (Petitioner in the FIR) should be made as co-prosecutor in the lines of co-accused. By incorporating these changes in the system we can get rid of incompetent prosecutors.

In addition to the skill of prosecutors, the affected party may hire a talented lawyer and effectively assist the State in the prosecution and also to counter the battery of lawyers paraded before the courts by the accused side.

Speedy Trials: Normally to conclude the criminal trial for hienoous offences like murder, may take 5-7 years if there is no stay of trial by the higher courts.

So Keeping in mind inordinate delay in disposing off the matter, each and every state should have speed track / fast track courts. These courts should fix a time limit for the completion of trial. By implementing this mechanism, we can get rid of witness turning hostile. Article 21 of the Constitution of India embarks upon Right to life and liberty and this includes Right to speedy trial. Law Commission of India should come out immediately with the recommendations for ensuring speedy disposal of the cases. Both Central and State Government should wake up from its slumber and ensure fair ratio of judges with the population. On war foot step basis Ministry of Law and Justice should allocate more funds for justice delivery system including judicial infrastructure.  

Recording of Witness Statements: All the statements of the witnesses should be recorded in the courts under Section 164 CrPC, instead of recording it in the PS. By deposing before the courts under Sec. 164 CrPC no witness can turn hostile. Even when for arguments sake they turn hostile, they can be prosecuted for perjury. So, by incorporating these suggestions one can take care of the witness part in dispensing of Justice.

Siezure of weapons & evidences: As in the present case the cartridges were replaced and CFSL report helped the accquittal of the accused. It opened up another vulnerability in investigation. It raises a serious alert on protection of weapons and evidences too.

So, if the cartridges had been deposed to the courts, soon after the recovery, it wouldn’t have been replaced. Besides this, it should be confirmed that all evidences are properly collected and deposed. In this case, the clothes Jessica wore, and the bed sheet, in which she was taken to hospital were never recovered. Again, the vehicle, after recovery should also have been deposed, which later in this case became an object of arguments over its place of recovery.

Technology Advancement in Judicial System: We are living in the era of E-Governance and scientific advancements in the world. We should use scientific examination and scientific reports to nail the accused. For example, in Jessica Lall murder case, the cartridges recovered from the crime spot, should have been sent to Ballistic experts / Ballistic Research Institutes in United States. With  the opinion we could have easily corroborated the link of the accused.

Advanced Judicial Learnings: Sensitisation of the Judges similar to the lines of US judicial System, where judges have to undergo a frequent training / attending programs, seminars & conferences to appalate the latest developments so that they can incorporate the learnings in the justice delivery system.

Justice for Jessica or anyone – How does it matter to us?

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

The verdict of acquittal of all accused in Jessica Lall murder case has upset millions of people of India. Though it left entire nation stunned, yet this has provoked people of India to express their innermost, their outrage and The Truth which inhabits in the hearts of millions of Indians. People have united together at one front, irrespective of their castes and religions, in favor of Truth – The Greatest religion of all.

The unfair verdict has upset me too. Since then, I am having sleepless nights. I would go to bed, turn on my PC and start typing again for 2-3 hours. And I would repeat this couple of times in a single night.

So why did people of India expressed their concern for justice?

  • Just because it poses a threat “What happened to Jessica, could happened to anyone else too”?
  • Or because, “Sabrina is fighting the evil and we too have joined her to fight the evil” ?

Both the above causes are true and correct, but I am sure most of us Indians think beyond.

Sabrina has been fighting a battle for 7 years, alone. Why and what for? What kind of justice will she get? She lost her Jessica and no justice can bring her back.

Jessica will never come back, never! Then why is she alone fighting against the evil?

Sabrina has a concern about our Jessica. She lost her Jessica, but she doesn’t want us to loose our Jessica. She, like all of us, has firm faith in Law and Order and she not only wanted to maintain it but to even strengthen it. So this is the justice she has been fighting for and she didn’t get it.

For 7 years, she has been fighting our battle and we left her alone. Better late than never! Now we all Indians will fight this battle together until we win. Now it is the battle of the people of India. It is battle for justice to the entire nation.

It is well understood, “Those who have one enemy, are supposed to be friends”. We do not have enmity with the accused but the crime is.

Our fight against crime is common among all of us, whether or not the victim is related to us.
