The Brave Pedestrian

Modi-sarkar should pluck the LOW-HANGING FRUITS to give quick reliefs to the common man -- such as eliminating "anaadi courts" where lakhs of people are mistreated daily and robbed of their self-respect and freedom. Installing CCTV cameras and voice recorders in all courts would be a good way to prevent mistreatment and exploitation of the common man by magistrates, judges, public prosecutors and police.

About 50% of Indian magistrates (and 80% of public prosecutors) are widely known to take bribes for going easy on undertrials seeking bail. Magistrates safeguard themselves by channeling the bribes through policemen. Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share

Who is biggest human rights violator in India? Judiciary. Why? Because... With the barest-minimum loincloth of "due process of law", our judiciary deprives thousands of people of their Life & Liberty every month, And it keeps them in jail month after month, without a trial. Corruption in magistrate's courts and sessions court is well know and widespread. People who can't afford to pay BAIL, BRIBES & LAWYERS' FEES stay in judicial custody for months, even years without a tria l. Evidently, everybody is fine with that. Not a squeak out of the Human Rights activists & intellectuals. Not a squeak out of the mass media. And damningly, not a squeak out of the judges of Higher Judiciary, custodians of our Fundamental Rights! If We The Citizens don't raise an outcry on this, SHAME ON US. Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share

This is happening on a daily basis, without interruption. Hello... Are the Chief Justices listening? Like  ·  Comment  ·  Share
