04 Apr 10 The Court room or the Greatest Stage

The Indian court-room is the greatest stage where the show of giving justice must go on but injustice continues for years just like the daily TV serials which continue for years. A movie or a reality show on television ends in three hours but the court room stage show is endless. The award winning actors being the criminal – minded young wives and their families who present concocted stories but with crocodile tears which are conveniently accepted by the judiciary as gospel- truth.

Is the Judiciary made up of good actors and dramatists and are the lawyers the brokers of human lives who never hesitate in dragging the cases for their fees?

Why does the Judiciary act as a donor of dates (read adjournments) to the criminal wives on flimsy grounds or frivolous reasons even though knowing very well that the cases filed by such women are false?

Is it not injustice to the innocent husband and his family?

Why do the courts believe in granting huge alimonies and maintenance to the capable and educated but adulterous young wives who only yearn for rights but refrain away from responsibilities and duties as a wife and daughter-in-law?

Does the judiciary think it a moral duty to follow the age old tradition or is it a sexual favor on their part?

In cases which have falsely implicated the real and innocent victims (husband and his family) never get justice. The evidences and witnesses presented by the husband and in-laws are very conveniently ignored by the judges according to their whims and fancies as they forget their moral responsibilities. Times have changed now. The Judiciary needs to understand that laws are being misused by young wives to make a fortune at the expense of human lives. Men are being shattered to such an extent that they are forced to commit suicides. Is it not a disgruntled wife committing “Domestic Violence” on her husband and in-laws? Why such gender bias is allowed in the so called temple of justice?

The Judiciary being over enthusiastic,  mild, sympathetic, favoring and  tilted towards women (wives) and biased, indifferent, hostile, unsympathetic and harsh towards men (husbands) it becomes impossible for innocent men to get relief or justice for men in this system and they have little options other than to bow down to illogical  and  unlawful demands of  selfish women. Why such gender biased attitude?

“Gender Parity”, “Gender Neutrality” and “Gender Equality” for men are the demand of the day. If women demand “equal rights” in every other field than why does the judiciary abstain from giving “equal and fundamental rights“ to the “innocent husbands” and delay the justice they are entitled to in false cases filed by their greedy wives. Should not the cases be disposed off as early as possible and the women are ordered equal and severe punishment for harassing the in-law so as to set an example to others.

The whole drama starts at the police-station where very conveniently every complaint is converted into a 498A case as it serves the best opportunity for the police to extort a huge ransom by creating fear in the husbands’ minds. The police not being the “Protector” of the citizens prefer to be the “Supporter” of disgruntled wives. The husband and in- laws are threatened of dire consequences and “Horse-Trading” is rampant at the police-stations. From the police-station the whole drama goes to the courts where the judges, the lawyers, the court-staff and the system as a whole play their part in minting money from the husbands. The court-room drama continues for years.

The “accountability, responsibility and the honesty” of the judges is never questioned. According to law more than three adjournments should not given which is never followed. The judiciary on the pretext of following the laws and procedures actually violate them by granting innumerable adjournments to the young women even if the cases are false.

The litigants are strictly required to follow the court discipline such as not using the mobile phones, sitting without folding the legs, not talking in the court room etc. But is the judiciary following the laws and procedures regularly? If the police fail to follow court orders in a case or if the police do not submit reports demanded by the court in a case, their duty or authenticity is never questioned by the judiciary. But the litigants are harassed for any trivial reason .Are the courts not answerable to the society for such matters?

Cases which can be solved in a single sitting are kept pending in the courts for years thus causing inconvenience to the innocent litigants. Are the courts the business hubs of the lawyers where the litigants are squeezed of their hard-earned money for years?

Times have changed now and the present scenario of the society is different from what it was in the past. Concurrently the mindset of the judges and the law-makers should also undergo a change. Necessary amendments in existing laws should be made according to the  needs and demand of present society where there is random “Misuse” of laws like 489A, Domestic Violence Act ,125 CrPC and many “Women-Centric” laws only to harass the husband and in-laws mainly to extort money.

Whatever may be the consequences of the innocent husbands and his family, the show of the Court rooms must go on, irrelevant of the precious time, money and energy of the litigants. Are judges the “Demigods” and lawyers the “Brokers” of human lives?

The judiciary should act its’ part well by following the laws and procedures judiciously and honestly with responsibility and accountability then only it can revive the faith of society on it. These public servants get their pay from the hard-earned money of the Taxpayers of which men’s contribution comprises 82%.

I am a victim of several false cases filed by my disgruntled daughter-in-law. For the last three years I am attending the court regularly without missing a single date but to my utter surprise and disillusionment I have not seen a single false case being dismissed off or the real victims getting relief or justice. There may be a few exceptions but it is very rare. Thus I leave the matter to the government, the society and the judiciary to decide whether they really want a better system?
