Dear BK:
Can you comment on the accuracy of the details in the ToI Blog
post below?
It is the details that make the difference, as you will agree I
am sure. Is the following procedure ( if true) the same in UK too
today? Or have they changed it?
Best.

>For the law makers in India to think:
>A typical example for thought :
>1. A FIR (First Information Report) contAins information as stated by the affected person regarding the crime.
>2.The Police then conduct investigation on the basis of the above statement.
>3. If the police are able to identify and track the accused then an arrest is made.
>4.The police then present before the judge their findings to the FIR Lodged.The arrested accused is also produced before the court.
>5.At this stage somethng very great can happen as it happened in Jessica Lall's case. The complainant has the option of disowning what he himself has stated in the FIR.
>A STATEMENT BEFORE A POLICE OFFICER CANNOT BE PLACED BEFORE A JUDGE TILL THE COMPLAINANT AGREES THAT HE HAS MADE SUCH A STATEMENT.
>SO,ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO ROAM SCOT FREE AFTER COMMITING A CRIME IS AS FOLLOWS:
>**Tamper with the evidence such that it cannot be connected to you.
>**Pay enough to th man who lodged the FIR so that he disowns what he stated originally.
>THIS IMPLIES THAT YOU CAN MAKE THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT MACHINERY OF LAW AND >JUSTICE RUN ON A STATEMENT(FIR) AND THEN BRING IT TO A GRINDING HALT WHEN YOU >WANT IT TO STOP.(AFTER HAVING YOUR STOMACH'S FILL-MONEY)
>AMAZING.......

Mike wants that I should reply to the point.
The legal system of India was set up during the colonial administration and has been hailed as one of the wholesome legacies of the British Raj to India. The Indian Criminal Code came into force in 1862 and amended in 1993. There is however no uniform civil code in India because of the heterogeneous composition of the society and other reasons. Basically the Indian law is based on the Anglo-American legal system which is distinct from the European systems.
In 1935 the Government of India Act 1935 was enacted which still forms the basis of the present Constitution of India.
Great Britain has no codified law. It is based on common law, precedents and a number of constitutional documents of the land, e g the Magna Carta. Nevertheless it functions efficiently because of the high standard of the professional people such as the Barristers and Solicitors. The judiciary also plays an exemplary role.
The present Labour Government, however, has plans to codify the law.
