Yesterday I was watching a T.V. show that was showing some real life incidents around the world. One such incident made me think about the judicial leniency of my country. This incident happened in a western country. There was a car chase between bank robbers and the police. The robbers were speeding in a vehicle when suddenly they bumped into a tree. Then the police arrested them and were sent for trial in the court where they were sentenced for a rigorous 20 years of imprisonment. I was not astonished the way the robbers were caught but by the punishment they were sentenced to. When I compare the judicial decisions of the western countries with those given in India for the same criminal offense, I feel that the judiciary in India very lenient towards the criminals. The life time imprisonment for criminals itself is 14 years in our country. While in western countries though the criminals are directly given life time sentence they are sentenced 40 to 80 years of imprisonment. . How many times have we seen corrupted politicians getting punishment?? They just escape with bribe or just drag cases till they die. Not even single corrupted person has been given a punishment that would instill fear in other offenders. Not all offenders committing crime like rape, murder are brought to justice. When it comes to offenses committed by common man, the judiciary does nothing. Most of the time people escape with bribe. In fact I feel the idea that punishment like community service like cleaning garbage, public toilet and other social odd jobs should be brought in for offenders who throw garbage, spit, violate traffic rules and many more common but serious offenses. The judiciary must try to make the country a better place to live in. Punishment for the smallest crimes should be made severe to reduce crime. It’s a waste on improving infrastructure and technological development of the country without making people realize the basic civic sense and bringing in brutal punishment by the judiciary for criminals. God save the nation.
