Justice Delayed Justice Denied: Once Again, The Supreme Court has Failed to Protect the Right of an Innocent
Justice Delayed Justice Denied: Once Again, The Supreme Court has Failed to Protect the Right of an Innocent
The majority of people in India
have fallen prey to the lies of the BJP and now to the NDA, where it seems a
coalition of immoral individuals has aligned with the corrupt BJP on promises
of quick cash infusions for their states. These leaders seem to expect large
contracts and financial benefits similar to those awarded to Adani, rather than
focusing on the nation's welfare.
Today, I heard comments from the
Supreme Court of India during the bail hearing of Mr. Kejriwal, where the court
hinted that the High Court (HC) had erred in denying bail. However, the Supreme
Court (SC) seemed reluctant to correct this error immediately. The SC, being
the ultimate decision-maker, should act decisively to stop any injustice if it
perceives an error by a lower court, prioritizing the protection of the
innocent over procedural concerns. This hesitation indirectly hands a victory
to the corrupt Modi government and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), at the
expense of the innocent accused. "Justice delayed is justice denied"
— have these judges not read this during their academic period? If the Supreme
Court of India does not understand this term, how can it expect any courts in
India to abide by this rule in granting justice? Here, innocent people have
been held on cooked-up charges and the court is allowing this to continue.
The SC could have reviewed the
detailed 28-page verdict of the lower court that initially granted bail to Mr.
Kejriwal and recognized that the HC's actions were politically motivated under
pressure from the central government. By not doing so, the SC missed an
opportunity to deny corrupt officials an undeserved victory. Given that the
current parliamentary session is underway, Mr. Kejriwal's release could have
strengthened the INDIA bloc and challenged the NDA government more effectively.
It is concerning that the
apparent injustices are so evident from afar, yet the courts in India seem
blind to them, or at least give that impression. This reflects poorly on
governance in India, where leaders within the NDA bloc, motivated by greed,
fail to see or acknowledge the corruption. It is troubling how anyone in India
can trust a government that uses stolen funds to buy votes and seats.
