Rampant corruption to prevail.
Without commenting on merits of the case and the law relating to penology what is important to submit is that in the independent India the bureaucrats and the police agencies have gone out of bounds. The government and the politicians are depending more and more on them and they have started assuming that they are indespencible. It is also true that through these agencies the politicians make corruption and mint money. Naturally these agencies also mint money and their subordinate staff also does the same thing. By profession I had been and is advocate and in the intervening period I had been judge in the judiciary also I know the background of their procedure.
It has become very common to register cases against innocent people if they are not ready to pay some lacks of rupees as bribe and not to involve criminals on receiving bribe or to make their cases weak. I had lot of experience to view such cases and I am of the opinion that the judiciary’s control on all such affairs no even meager. The government has its dirt to taste.
Unless government has killing instinct to control corruption nothing will change in the present day situation of India. Sentence to Rathore, right or wrong, is an example that the people have developed awareness and it is necessary for the social reformers to see that this awareness is molded in right direction so that the people may bring silent revolution in the society. Unfortunately we have no such social reformists. Persons like Rahul Gandhi and so many others are being forced by shoe lickers to run for power and not for social changes. Rampant corruption will therefore prevail. Then let it be so.
