Laws are made for Citizens--not the Citizens are made for Laws

Today I was reading an article by Madabhushi Sridhar (A Professor and Coordinator, Center for Media Law and Public Policy, NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad) throwing light on the constitutional aspects of the capital punishment to Ajmal Kasab and raising questions on the integrity of the Govt.I found his article technically right but it lacks the sense of being human in it.




Though article-72 of the Indian Constitution gives every requester,the chance to appeal again for a judicial review if the plea of pardon(mercy petition) is being rejected by the President yet a Govt can't be blamed for not informing regarding such a provision to the accuser.Here,what the author has blamed that Govt has the responsibility to inform the Kasab regarding the same which it deliberately denied to do so.I am asking,if Govt did it deliberately then also whats wrong in it, after all laws are made for citizens(or persons as said int he article) and not the citizens are made for laws in a democracy.

Why a person who writes an articles puts aside his feelings when it comes to show knowledge on a paper?Why a person instead of listening of his or her own heart and mind tries to express more of his knowledge whether it should be expressed or not ? All what is said is technically right and the examples given are also constitutionally true but for whom it is being written should also be kept in mind while writing .What about the 166 people who killed in the attack when someone calls for another review,this time by the judiciary.After all the law is for the citizens and truth and not for giving a chance by chance to the culprit though just on the name of human rights even when the culpability of the accuser is proved in the apex court.

Writer,Constitution Experts and even nation  need to rethink a lot.
