Confrontation with Judiciary When S.C. formed SIT to probe money laundering by Hassan Ali. the UPA spokesperson warned the court not to cross Lakshiman Rekha.TamilNadu Assembly has passed path breaking , dangerous resolution , not to carry out the death sentence on the assassins of Rajiv Gandhi. The plot hatched outside the country and carried on by outside elements deserves no sympathy. Did our P.M.deserve to die such a tragic death at the promising young age.? Where are our priorities and sentiments for justice? Afsal Guru awaiting death sentence is finding strange friends to argue for him. The tweet by no less than an individual, Chief Minister Omar Abdulla cannot be construed as in individual capacity It will definitely encourage separatists and subversive elements The attack on temple of democracy, Parliament cannot be considered lightly. Fortunately on the defenders died to save our M.P.`s. Can their be a greater crime ? The fights in J.K. Assembly is a disgrace to the Nation ,on Afzal Guru clemency The petition itself has been preferred by his wife and the President has rejected it The courts go through a tedious process to arrive at a conclusion, giving every opportunity to the accused to plead his case. It is the duty of the state to carry out the sentence It cannot abdicate its responsibility, by injecting a new version of law and order problem. Death sentence is delivered according to the courts in the rarest of rear cases Is passing of such resolution by the states are not binding legally are meant to derail the judicial process? Is it not the Legislature encroaching on the preserve of the Judiciary ? Will the citizens have any respect for the LAW AND JUDICIARY? The line separating the Legislature and Judiciary is getting increasingly blurred and which is not good for the Democracy Best thing is to abolish death sentence and consequently the Mercy Petition Life sentence should mean until death in confinement and not 14 years as it is understood to day Retributive justice is fast fading into oblivion, as the stress is on reformative justice Death sentence may assure revenge and justice for those undergoing trauma of losing loved ones without any legal rights to live Will social order and security not be served by curtailing freedom of movement as the punishment ? Dead are important , but the living are more important and tit for tat or eye for an eye is primitive justice Many a condemned criminal has turned a new life more purposeful than before and so must be given an opportunity to reform and repent Populism and vote bank politics should not thread on Judiciary and judicial process arrived judiciously.Are we making mockery of our system to play to the gallery of opportunism? Recourse to law is the best hope for the aggrieved against any injustice as the time passes the intensity of the offence,empathy, sympathy and even the facts are forgotten Naturally the sympathy's towards to the accused for forgiveness Political activism against the Judiciary is a dangerous precedent to experiment.
