Is it a bane to be born poor. Over the period have seen rich and powerful rapists getting bail and case is twisted or the people bought out to drop the case.At the same time a poor dalit laborer is hung for committing a crime or killed in an encounter.
While I am not an advocate for pardoning or for lower punishment for a criminal, the stark difference in how a rich and a poor is perceived by the courts need to understood.
A crime is a crime irrespective of who it is and punishment is a necessity, but uniformity provides a comfort to people that justice will be done and not skewed towards rich.
A serious thought is to be put in at the judiciary level. Politicians prefer it that way. A person breaking the hospital or hitting doctors cannot be pardoned for any reason. It is the fault of politicians that govt. hospitals are not funded properly and relatives or known people are put in there. If all govt. hospitals are a place of excellence, pvt medical hospitals and insurance issues that crop up will not be there.
Time for an independent judiciary and not dependent on govt. for posting.
