Do you think one
crime will be wiped off with thousands of good deeds? Justice doesn’t mean that
one bad guy goes to the jail; it just means that someone pays for the crime.
Sadly, in India, the innocent victims and their families have to do this. Few
days back, we heard about superstar Salman Kahn being acquitted of all the charges
in connection with the 2002 hit-and-run case. This decision has shattered all
hopes in the Indian Judiciary system, which is biased and believes in serving
frozen justice. In this country, we are all bound to respect the court’s
judgement. So what if Salman was drunk, so what if he was drunk-driving, so
what if he killed a homeless man, so what if he blamed other man of committing
this heinous crime, he deserves to walk free. And that’s exactly what the Bombay
High Court decided, they released him knowing that he is the guilty. Now that's
the law of the land, and there's no point questioning the judgement.
On the other
hand, we have Subrata Roy, the pioneer of the great Sahara India, and an
honourable business man who was termed as ‘the second largest employer in
India'. He has always treated all his employees as his family, and thus he
pleas Sahara India to be his Sahara Parivaar. He is a self-made man who loves
his employees and was even looked up on by his competitors. But today his life
has taken a miserable turn. He is being rotting in the jail for more than 21
months without any charges. There are more than 12 lakh employees who are not
being given out their salaries, a large number of people is being suffering due
to this gruesome decision taken by the High Court. They say that justice
consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the
right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong. But where is the
justice now?
