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.

Other side of the Coin - Hanged Kasab

The most awaited hanging for Indians had a real execution today.Country was awaiting this moment for last four years and finally the victims of 26/11 had a justice.Faith in the Indian Judicial System and moreover in the political system is regained to a great extent today.It is proved by today's action that- 'Where there is a will,there is a way'.Whole country is happy that even after so much days justice is given,no problem but finally it is given,that matters.All are delighted by the action only one side of the coin that justice is given but other side of the coin has a harsh face.Lets have a look at it.

There is a great chance that 'Kasab' would be taken in as a hero or celebrity in the terrorist community which will provoke them more keeping this young man as their ideal.Early they did not had a face to follow who was sentenced like this for the cause of their aim but now they have.New trainee camps would have a face whom they can use to guide their guys in the wrong direction,probably right for them.


Another point I have in mind that why in the dilemma of political spectrum,two different approach for two different types of persons involved in two separate terrorist activities but both shooting the heart of the nation,one to the political temple and another to the busiest city of the nation.The political approach for the terrorists should be same irrespective of religion and vote bank politics.Only this is required,rest all will be fine automatically.For that I would reiterate above said proverb again-'Where there is a will,there is a way' and I hope this first ray of hope will help in reaching out to the destination like Sun and Indian Judicial and Political System would regain its lost credibility.
