Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Friday said undertrials should not be kept in lock-up once they are chargesheeted. Asking the judiciary to take a cue from a US court granting Rajat Gupta bail, Singh tweeted: “Good to know Rajat Gupta got bail. Would our judiciary also take a cue and not keep undertrials in lock up once they are chargesheeted.” The tweet came a day after Gupta was released on a $10-million bond on insider trading charges.
Our Diggy Raja is very fast in comparing the US judiciary with the Indian judiciary in the matter of granting bail.
Why does he not compare the speed at which the US judiciary hands dowm sentences.
Afzal Guru,Kasab and a horde of others are still rotting in jails because his government is unable to take a decision on hanging them because of vote bank politics.
If it had been the USA, they would have been executed by now.
Take the case of Rajaratnam.
On October 16, 2009, he was arrested for insider trading.
Within two years to the day, he has been convicted and given a 11 year sentence.
Not only that.
He has been fined $ 10 million and $53.8 million of his wealth has been forfeited.
Would this have been possible with the Indian Judiciary.
Here, first of all, no action would be taken against him by SEBI.
If SEBI took action then SAT would negate.
If both agreed then the courts would come in the way.
If the courts allowed probe, the the government would put the CBI after the person who made the complaint as it is now doing against Anna Hazare's core group.
I would rather say, the Indian judiciary is very lenient.
We require much more harsher laws against criminals.
