A country's one of the foremost responsibilities is to ensure fair life and equal oppurtunity to all its citizens.
By all means ,the primary responsibity of acheiving this lies with judiciary.
But, today's Judiciary is so fundamentally flawed that it will never achieve this .
Everyone who needs justice should go and "buy" a lawyer for his defence.What does this mean ?
By nature - One who has more moeny and can spend more can buy more costly stuff ( here it is lawyers).
So,if a there is an issue generated between the rich and the poor/ middle class - they can never ever
compete with the rich. Even when the poor cannot afford a lawyer the case cannot be taken up for hearing.
So , it will be better if the courts directly rule out in the favour or rich and the poor can use the money for survival purpose rather than making him take rounds outside of the court and eat away all his little money also.
You can take "development" fees from the rich for providing justice to them so quickly.
So Defintely Justice is not there for all - it is there for rich to make use of it from the way the constitution
has formally designed it.
Is there a better way to do it ? Yes.
1. once a case is filed - why not the court itself delegate two lawyers from bar council list on rotation basis to
handle the arugments , validate the police information for correctness and give report on it .
2. Lawyers should only be working on the crime , evidences recorded and the police reports and should not work on people.Names of people should be wrapped under covers before given to lawyers to discuss and argue. This way a car accident will be treated as a car accident and not as a "very powerful " minister's son or a "famous" Hero involving in a car accident.
How does one evaluate a metric exam english paper - the student writes at one place. The name of the student is removed from the top of the answer sheet and it is evaluated by someone qualified and there is no debate on justice or fairness on a whole.
If you allow a student to a teacher when he is evaluating his paper , he will never allow him to fail.Is somone's crime not that that important that needs to be evaluated independently.
Dear Judges : If you leave the judgement on lawyers , and if you leave lawyers to people - only rich people will get good lawyers and get good justice.We do not need judges anyway in present system.
Dear Lawyers : The article is not intended to cut down on your earnings - but systems like Health , Education , Justice are meant for "right to live" and should be treated as service and not as business . This is the primary responsibility of any democratic country , however corrupt it may be in other areas.
IF you do not like, better change your profession and let people live .
When a person is convicted by one court for murder and then he is let off in the higher court - The court should be subjected to legal prosecution for seriously misinterpreting the rules.
No wonder, in a recent survey on where do you think corruption has started- most responses rooted to legal procedures like courts,RTA etc.,
Good one..
