  ARE YOU READY FOR IT!

  W

  hat came first – the egg or the chicken; the answer is rather illusive. It’s more of anxiety for scientist and not for any common individual; even its answers are even not to be bother. What really worries, should be rather raised in our “constitution”. What came first – corruption or the population? Can anyone find out what’s the true temperament behind it? It’s difficult to derive on any one of them, because if it’s ‘corruption’; without population corruption cannot survive. If population came first then it is very apparent that corruption is going to have its root together in our day to day life.

  When we see our history; there is comprehensible reflection of corruption even though population was confined to limited numbers.

  Do you really believe in our justice system? If somebody asks me then my answer will be misleading. It rather depends on the situation what the matter is, but it is seen that people wait for their turn to get justice for whole life and what they get a the end of everything; they pay fees to the advocates, spend their precious time coming to the courts; believing that someday their case will put up in some court and justice will be delivered to them! But I don’t understand why people fail to understand, it’s not easy to get justice today, when we see India as a whole; is having its population at its peak! What do you expect – in one day how many judgments are passed by any Court! The results are so much confined to figures that you can count on your fingers. After globalization though we say that the economy have somewhat been stable, but what about our justice system which is day by day getting on its worst phase.

  It’s summer time, when I hunt for vacation job; which are confined for few months only; people take my interview, when they see my resume; they see me and give me suspicious look; I don’t understand why, they might be thinking very unconstructive; or might be thinking what’s the reason that why I am doing such a profession which has lost its magnitude in the open market. They even know, inside their heart that nobody now would really go to courts for any relief, because they know what time would take to get justice, because they are not the only one demanding for justice; it’s a long queue out there!

  So what are the factual elements which are constantly putting our judiciary into its worst nightmares? When we say that our justice system is derived from the Britishers and also some part has been adopted from America, then why is that they have moved ahead, and we are still lacking in our disposal!, once we have accepted their culture to some extent, their work environments, and all those things which are usually not accepted in our day to day life, then why we forget the working environments of their courts also. We should try to take help and upgrade our self; upgrade our working methods, so that we can avoid delays in any judicial proceedings.

  I think the most alarming factor is “corruption”. At every level there is corruption. Do we really need to throw our self on it, instead of directly blaming it? I think that every individual wants his or her work to be done fast; and why not. When people pay; they accept that their work should be done on their time. But still they bribe additionally, not to get their work done even faster, but to make the opposite party happy, now why is this necessary; it’s difficult to understand every Indian mentality. It’s not that the person who has been qualified to do his specific work; will not do, but “when” he will do; nobody knows and all this depends upon his “mood” to do. So just to make his “mood” all the time “good” people bribe them.

  When we go thought the various steps of functioning of judiciary; what is written in books seems to be easier than to go practically in courts and to complete work. Why is this kind of difference; why can’t we have our work done fast? I think the reason for all the above things are very simple, India is heading itself to 21st century, and still we don’t have implement family planning, though there are many ads, governments trying to educate people, but it won’t work out until any concrete amendment is legislated and its imposed on people to follow it, as such every law is command of sovereign, but still people break it, they are of-course punished, but how many law breakers would be punished? This number can’t stop nor can be reduced; unless some law should be made which has its own uniqueness, and to some extent it has to be “dictator” by its nature, so that nobody has the “guts” to rupture it.

  Its more than one year, I am writing again in continuation to this article, situation has become worst, first it was me how failed to understand and now even common individual has fail to understand what has really happened to our ‘judicial system’?. Simply nobody wants to work, why? I think in only few years left that before us, when people would try to solve there disputes themselves rather filing litigation in to the Courts; this is a alarming situation for young lawyers who have just stepped into this world…
