the hourable judiciary-- how honoured it is

Cant go on with holes in the judiciary---
We must mend them ---

For any democracy to live healthier, the primary need is the practical avilability of human rights to every citizen. And thats what democracy means.To ensure the exercise of rights without fear and dread, every democracy has legal judiciary. Judiciary is responsible to solve conflicts and to preserve justice. To implement judiciary, we have courts and police system. Police is responsible to maintain peace in the region and to act as a nexus between people and justice. So in a way, to defend for any overtaking of rights every citizen must go to police and then the police scrutinize the case, collect details and forward them to court. The court listen to the both sides of the case, the procequetor and the defender and also to police and pronouce the difference between right or wrong. This way every little part of the juridiciary plays substantial and significant role in bringing the justice to the affected people. That makes it very crucial the way every intermediate department functions.
Does that lead to the necessity of probing and supervising every department affecting the availablity of human rights? In a way it does until we dont find the answer to what happens if anything intermediatary thing starts abusing the authority given to it. But even if we establish the central authority to maintain a watchful eye on the component of juridiciary, who will verify the deads of that central authrity ??? We dont have any such authority in India or anyware and torturing prisoners, abasing them and abject situation of most of the prisoner are nothing but a dire consequences of that. We can no more rely upon police and trust them. As the cases of torture to detainees are coming up at an rapidly bursting rate. Many of these people who are taken in custody before the court pronounce its decision, are later vindicate. For them it becomes wholly unfair to be humiliated in the custody. To some of them, the govenment pays the price of humiliation but how can that suffice for them who become mentally challenged as a result of humiliation in the custody, a gift bestowed by the legal system to maintain justice. Is this justice?
When the course of case goes on for years and the file is closed with the death of either the defender or the prosequetor, how does our present legal system brings justice to them.
Beating prisoners, making them to do dirty work, making them nude, threatening them, not providing proper medical care on time, not giving them sufficient food all have emerged as very common shocks in police custody. Every detainee reports these and more over they are threated to face dire consequences if thet are found to speak this to anyone especially in media. Currently Afzal, who has been sentenced to death after proved to be guilty in case of parliament attack, reported in the court of genital shocks. Also when he was made to confess his crime before media, and he stated the innocence of DU professor Gilani, he was asked to shut up by the police and reporters were forbaded from reporting this incident.
There is no end to the monopoly of police and its association with bribe. Most of the case-trials are made abeyant without any proper reason and as a consequence of police involvement with the corruption. Many case files are virtually closed forever and many are convicted by police, beated in prison, forcefully make the detainee confess that he/she is guilty, they collect false proofs and finally our honourable court absolved the real guilty and announce sentence of innocent people. And that is not very uncommon today, especially in context of India.
Irrespective might be our response for the need of central system to monitor police but the need of auditing the whole system is evident. Somehow the democracy needs to implement it, we just can not allow the monopoly of police. We cant just go on with the police bedraggled in corruption. We need to preserve the rights of detainees also, detainees who are innocent, who live mentally challenged life after the police confinement for simple inquirary purposes, we cant just allow the way those enquiries are held, because that does not resonance with the central theme of democracy, with the availability of human rights for which the whole system is maintained.

khosla ka ghosla

Khosla Ka Ghosla--
After long time any director has picturised normal middle class family life. This movie has turned out to be very good. It shows story of how middle class families are befooled and looted by the property dealers engaged with builders, who produce duplicate documents to meet the requirement of the buyers and beguile them.
Mr. Khosla(Anupam Kher) is an aged man and retried after a year. He has two sons and one girl. All three are young and the younger son is software engineer who dreams to fly to newyork. Mr. Khosla purchases plot via broker Gajendra, who is a friend of Khurana. Khurana is a big bull and fools people in property dealing with the help of Gajendra and this time the victim turn out to be Khosla. Unlawful acquisition on his land means that his whole life savings are at stake. Then how he acquire his land back and build his dream house on it is a chain of interesting events. The mix of light comedy successfully keeps the viewer cheerful all the time. Tara Sharma is opposite to chery and has done justice to her role. She looks gorgeious and beautyful and full appreal have doubled her beauty. All have acted well. Dialogue delivery and good use of facial expression makes scenes like real. The movie is worth watching and can be seen at home as it contains no vulgar scenes and everybody covers the body appropriately with full dresses.
Sometimes the movie becomes unpractical but thats the problem with every bollywood movie that they never show case something practical. The ending could be extended a little more with the journey of chery to NewYork and that would have accrued the happy ending to little more happier.Anyway, in short the movie turn out to be worth watching. Have fun with this movie.
