Justice Delayed is Mob Lynching


A few days ago I had written about history repeating.
This time history repeats in Hajipur, Bihar.
In the first item “Lynch bid in cop custody” police had
taken one Ravi Kumar to hospital for treatment
after arresting him for stabbing his roommate.
The roommate died on the way to hospital.
Ravi was caught and assaulted by his neighbors and
the police rescued him and took him to hospital.
But the people, knowing of the connivance between the
police and the criminals, took the law into their hands.
They dragged him from the hospital, tied him with a rope
and beat him black and blue.
Doctors say only a miracle can save him.

The second item is about our President Mrs. Pratibha Patil, blaming the judiciary for the delay in justice, which is resulting in the people taking the law into their hands.

The third item is about the Chief justice of India, joining issue with the President, and saying that the finger should rather be pointed at the lack of good governance. That was the chief factor behind the scourge of delay in justice, he said.

I agree with the chief justice.
Where you have government by the corrupt, of the corrupt and for the corrupt, how can you expect justice?
The judiciary is also to be partly to be blamed.
They allow criminals, rapists and extorters to roam about on bail because of the money and political backing and the police conniving by not filing foolproof charge sheets.
One Somen or Himadri Sen Roy may have been arrested but many more will rise if this injustice and corruption continues.
Who is Somen?
He is supposed to be CPI (Maoist) Secretary, a top Maoist leader in Bengal.

Justice Delayed is no longer justice denied.
Justice Delayed is Mob lynching.
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
There is no point is passing the buck.
The buck stops here, Mrs President.
