THE 2 G JUDGMENT OF TRIAL COURT.
THE TRAVESTY OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” The recent judgment of the Trial Court in the matter of 2G scam denotes yet another failure of the conscience and consciousness of the nation because it did not invoke enough strong protest from the general public. Political expediency should not be allowed to sabotage and suppress the truth and allow the perpetrators of a crime to go unpunished. It has been a common feature that the perpetrators are allowed to escape with impunity especially if such crimes are done by the very representatives elected by the people of this country to perpetuate and protect the motto of this nation “SATYAMEVA JAYATE”.
The Committee on Reforms of the Criminal Justice System was constituted by the Government of India; Ministry of Home Affairs by its order dated 24 November 2000, to consider measures for revamping the Criminal Justice System and submitted their report during March 2003. Ironically the report starts with a quote of the French Thinker and Writer Andre Gide, “Everything has been said already, but as no one listens, we must always begin again.” and the report under “TRUTH AND JUSTICE” starts with the quotes, “Truth does not pay homage to any society ancient or modern. But society has to pay homage to truth or perish” (Swami Vivekananda.).
