FROM PILLER TO POST?

                                                               SURYANELLI CASE

Now that the Supreme Court has rejected the judgement of the High Court in acquitting the accused persons after 8 years of long judicial procedures, what can be the next course of action? Will it be favourable to the victim or again “Back to Square One” or “Pillar to Post”? Was there not a provision in the Law to settle the long pending case in the Apex Court? These are the random thoughts came to my mind when I heard of the disposal of the case and the Judicial uncertainty in different levels of trials of a case in the Courts.

If the High court after going through the case again pronounces verdict and acquit them, what can be the next step in the Legal Procedure?. I think , we are all in a state of uncertainty in all matters  of decision whether it be at Home or outside home in public service due to lack of Vision  in the right direction. There is a saying- “Sober as Judge” in arriving at a decision, amongst strong arguments & counter arguments, within a time frame.

The social and Political situations in the country have come to an unpredictable level, resulting in indecision in important issues, by the men/women in authority. Mainly this is due to intervention and compulsion by the external forces entering in the jurisdiction of the officers concerned.  I feel that the greatest unfettered enemy, is the “corruption in thoughts & actions”, in the whole episodes hitherto in all spheres of society life. Can we come out of this JUNK?

MEDIA-A PARALLEL JUDICIARY?

                              

 

   MEDIA - A PARALLEL JUDICIARY?

The  earlier News agencies  like news paper and other publications  were the communicating medium through which the public were informed of the daily happenings in the State or Country at different places  on matters of public importance. Important information in all spheres of life are passed on to the people without any additions or deletions, depicting the true and authoritative news.

But this scenario is totally changed. The IT based information agencies are overriding all the existing norms of communication and are introducing their own interpretations and discussions with people of different walks of life through TV & Videos etc.

Personal interviews like NERKUNER/POINT BLANK/COUNTER POINT ETC are in fact creating confusions and also ill will amongst the different sections of the society, both political and social. It is almost running like a PARALLEL JUDICIARY trying to prove the GUILT of person/persons or groups..

This type of overdoing by the media people is likely to imbalance the peaceful existence of the people belonging to different denominations both in the religious and political organisations. The principle of the Democratic set up of Governace has to be maintained without any misinterpretations which may lead to the distortion of the existing rules & regulations.

It is seen that most of the cases under investigation by the JUDICIARY are also being discussed in the TV interviews with preformed ideas and arguments to sort out the solution when the cases are under examination by the COURT OF JUSTICE!  According to my opinion such “fast forward” actions by the Visual & printed media, must be cautioned for such videos & publications. Unless the Government takes stern actions to prevent such unfettered and unlimited approach to the publication of news, things may go beyond control to a non retrievable situation.. I had earlier also commented on” Media going beyond Limits!”

CRIMINAL ASSAULTS BY CHILDREN

                                                      MINOR Vs MAJOR CRIMES

In the context of the recent heinous crimes on women, I write this note which may be relevant to examine the next course of action we should take to stop such social evil.

The present generation is quite different from the earlier one existed in the 18^th&19^th centuries? The earlier generation had a set pattern of social culture & moral behaviour in securing the social safety and peace living of the family and the public at large. Strict Parental relation was maintained unlike the present “friendly relation” with the children. Both the parents and the teachers in schools and colleges also exercised their role in training up the children in the correct path of life. Whenever the children disobeyed or did wrong, the parents cautioned them and even punished them at the right moment. They never” Spared the rod and Spoiled” the child.

But the present scenario is different. Most of the parents do not keep strict vigilance on their children when they commit wrong things and disobey the parents or teachers.  A “Stitch in time saves nine” is not observed by the modern parents and they give a long rope & freedom to the child to do whatever he/she likes at home or outside. Being the only child, these parents are scared of correcting the wrong doings resulting in unmanageable situations. The joint family system seems to be better than the single child syndrome! Earlier the children learned the social customs and public behaviour from their parents & teachers who strictly followed the social justice to bring up the children as worthy citizens. But as time passé by deterioration in the teaching standard & character development of the students, resulted in multiplying the social evils in the schools, colleges and in public life.

Political invasions in the school & college campus also ignited the passion of destructive nature in the minds of the youngsters. The children instead of learning from the class rooms started short cuts methods of learning by doing/seeing TV/and other electronic media which gave them entry to any communicating gadget to  “Make or Mar”.

The human mind is the most complex and unpredictable, unlike the animals which move on with the inbuilt instincts. Man with his VIVEKAM & JNANAM (KNOWLEDGE) given by the Almighty misused causing incorrigible crime to his/her fellow beings.  Just like controlling the growth of a tree sapling , human beings also must be “ pruned and dressed up” to grow as an acceptable social being without causing damage to people around. Unless control over the stage development of the children is exercised in the right moment, they will be drifted off from us and become a social nuisance both to the parents and to the people. My note on four Stages of Life in http://divinityinaction.blogspot.in may be seen..

 Therefore the Law applied earlier will not do for the present generation, as the life styles are different now. The modern developments in all the fields have a strong bearing in the behaviour of human beings and therefore the existing law cannot be applied without revamping, to suite the life style at all levels . Dissimilar things cannot be treated as one for equal justice. It will not be out of place to say that the youngsters of today with their bodily and mental development can become parents at the age of 16 or 17!. If that be the case they should not escape under the shadow of the prevailing juvenile treatment as punishment to such disastrous game of butchering a young girl under duress. The legal authorities may deal with the cases according to the merits & Demerits. Otherwise we may be digging our own grave for a “Mass Burial
