Indian Judiciary is Partial to the Rich

There is also the case of the BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu who was jailed for a death in a road rage case and even after 8 years he can be seen laughing on TV as the Supreme Court has given a .stay. Surely the Indian state is looking down the barrel of a gun

The judicial system may be okay but this is costly. The rich can pay the cost and so get justice. Poor are at disadvantage.

I donot think so, the case against AIADMK chief was initiated by DMK government their bitter rival, so it might be true or false, but higher judicial system is too costly for common man and that cost should be decreased to bare essentials other wise common man would not reach to higher justice system at all. 

Money power and power in thepolitical circles play a vital role in the judicial system. Yesterday Salman, today Jayalalita and Ramalinga Raju's cases proved this.

The judicial system in India is  a gift of the English, but in England I have seen that generally the trials are not delayed and such preposterous verdicts are not handed down. I wonder where we went wrong.

I would fully subscribe to this growing feeling that there  is something very seriously wrong in the system. This is in stark contrast to systems of some of the advanced and progressive countries. I am not naming any particular case but it has been the trend for quite some time. Judiciary is our last hope and if it is allowed to be afflicted with any life-threatening ailment that snuffs out our last hope nothing could be more tragic!!! Very very disturbing trend!!! All we know how Rajat Gupta was made  to feel the full heat of the American judiciary!

  This is  sad and points to serious flaw in the system. Th eBritish have ironed out their law while we have not.

 Yes, rightly said, but the Judiciary is sick. Justice Katju gave a list of 8 Judges corrupt to the Chief Justice and nothing happened.

How the system could be okay which suffers from such gross infirmity? Unaffordability negates the very idea of justice. A judicial system which prices itself out of the reach of the poor and disadvantaged should be immediately dismantled and dispensed with for the sake of justice!!!!  

This is nothing new as people having power and money can escape from law for anything. What a common person will do when the law of the country too gets corrupted.

As  a lawyer I have read the judgement and it was a strong indictment of Jayalalitha. I think the government will go in appeal and lets  see what the SC does.

I completely agree with this view. In India we have gone down the wrong path and I think the entire judicial system needs to be scrapped and something else introduced.

Court acquits her and she would be taking oath on 17th of this month, 

Yes . AIDMK making arrangements for Jayalalita's coronation. Pannier Selvam already decided to resign.

He has no choice.

Whatever it may be, Jayalalita's way is clear. If Panner Selvam refuses to resign, he will be the target for attack by  the followers of the over joyous Jayalalita's fans and followers.

On paper, the entire system- parliament, executive and judiciary- is okay- impartial. all are equal before the eyes of law and so on. But the fact remains that the super rich, the mafia, capitalists run the system.  money matters every where. The press and judiciary are also no exceptions. The poor have bitter experience in lower judiciary.  There appears no way out.  If somebody .lives without ever going to court, indeed he is very lucky.   

 

Justice needs to be redefined. We need to be aware of different categories, namely, justice for the rich, middle class, poor, etc.  There is nothing like ‘Justice for humans’. 

I can't recall exactly where did I read the definition of law as the highest sense implanted in human beings. Where is it in the judgement? The judge relied too heavily on a SC ruling back in 1977 which held if any amount concealed is less than 10% of returnable income then it could be ignored. I wonder if it is at all logical.The magnitude of the amount won't have any bearing!!
