Death dates just once!

Did you know that 56 people have been handed the death penalty in nine months of whom only three are terrorists? Dhanonjoy Chatterjee, convicted of raping and murdering a 14-year old was finally given the death sentence after a long 13 years of patience. This simply means that the girl must have been 27 years old when her rapist and murderer got an official punishment from the law. But don’t you think that the long wait of 13 years is a punishment in itself?

Mohammed Afzal convicted in the 2001 Parliament attack case was finally given the death sentence in October 2006. This one was pretty quick, but then he wasn’t hanged to death on the 20th October as declared by the Supreme Court. That simply shows that the law and order of our nation have no importance in front of public opinion! A part of the public requested the President to delay the dates since it was the last Friday of Ramzan and this act would adversely affect the peace operation between Indo-Pak. But if he isn’t given the death sentence, I am sure this would be the victory of Pakistan over the Indian government and law. Another fellow called Santosh Singh accused of raping and murdering Delhi University law student Priya-darshini Mattoo in 1996 was recently given the death penalty which came almost after 10 years when he himself was practicing law.

I fail to understand, in spite of the fact that we have numerable session courts, High Courts and a Supreme Court, why does the judgment take so long? The 1993 bomb blasts accused still keep giving their attendances whenever they are called in for hearing. It has been a 13 long years of public patience but no one knows what will the fate of the accused be, whether or not will they surely be punished or no. I don’t really understand what is the best way for these delayed judgments but whatever it is, I request the concerned officials to take interest and make sure the judgments are delivered at the right times. This would rebuild the lost faith of the public into the country’s law and order.

Thanks to the exposure people are becoming more aware and active about the fact that the offenders must be punished as soon as possible. The delayed judgments and granting the bail requests just helps them to build on more fake evidence and thus escape the punishment. What on earth is this massive police force, innumerable lawyers and ever increasing terrorists and criminals up to, I have no clue. But the people of India have started taking keen interest into the Indian politics and crime scenes. So if the concerned officials don’t really perform their duties timely and stand true to their responsibilities, I am sure they will not be spared! After all, when Death comes on a date, it comes just once!
