The measurement of development of any country is a Living Standard of its Citizen: How much the government has managed to strengthen the lawless environment to live, to maintain the health and education for its citizens.
Judiciary is also manned by human beings - but the function of judiciary is distinctly different….- in the sense its function is divine. Today, judiciary is the repository of public faith. It is the trustee of the people. It is the last hope of the people. After every knock at all the doors failed people approach the judiciary as the last resort. It is the only temple worshiped by every citizen of this nation, regardless of religion, caste, or sex.
Judiciary System in India has remained poor in most of its 60 years of Independence, when our freedom fighters laid the foundation to build a strong system of justice for its citizen. But to our shame, it has failed miserably.
People often prefer using money power or going to goons rather than knocking the doors of courts for justice. A better and faster justice for all would mean a more confident and peaceful India.
It is high time the judiciary must take utmost care to see that temple of justice do not crack from inside, which will lead to catastrophe in the justice delivery system resulting in the failure of Public Confidence in the system. They should make special and stricter laws for the LAW MAKERS, for the simple reason that they are chosen by citizens of India to lead them, and if they can’t keep up with the laws, they should be strictly dealt with. Whereas the actual law in India makes it easy for these leaders of India to break laws and get away with a mere suspension or a transfer. We remember a case in Australia where a traffic chief after jumping a red light was demoted. The reason given was simple, “You are the Face of Traffic Police, If you can’t follow the rules, you cannot motivate others to do it!!”.
The high courts in the country are saying that justice is delayed because of less judicial officers.The need of time is to give speedy justice with low cost and within the reach of common public. We have to change the mind setup of judicial officers and judicial machinery that we are here to serve the public as per the aspiration and objectives of the constitution of India and not to govern or rule over the public of India. Courts are meant for public and for justice , not to show supremacy over the public.
