Time and agian the judges have come down heavily on soft targets. They will sentence a man who mixed water with milk for 3 months after 15 years, now zaheera but they will not put jayalalitha or kps gill or any ias/ips criminal in jail. They will order all car drivers to wear seat belts but auto drivers, lorry and bus drivers can go on without that. They will order euro II or III or even euro 7777 for cars ( the least polluting amongst vehicles) but will not do so for state buses literrally spewing the most toxic gases nor for the autos who go about adulterting petrol with even furnace oil. They will send to jail the owners of any private building in case of fire or building collapse but no govt offical will be sent to jail even if thousands die due to crass negligence of the officials - Did we see any arests in the recent stampede in thamil nadu where scores died? did we see any arrest when an army ammunition dump exploded, do we see any arrest when hundreds due to floods, storms, etc. But let one guy die in a hospital the judges will never let the doctor in bail for months to gether. A judge refused bail to a guy who was jailed for 37 years for a flimsy reason that the police could not trace his records. Why refuse bail? why not send the DGP, commisioner and the station head to jail for not producing records. What kind of judges do we have. Judicial activism - nay judicial tyranny..god save this country.
