Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied
Justice delayed is justice denied is rightly the present scenario of India. Justice though is difficult to define,bt can be said that it varies according to situations and persons. Since we live in a deomocratic country like india where people are governed by the laws of the country , it is very important to deliver justice on time to the victims to prevent the miscarriage of justice. It is rightly called the shield of innocence and the guardian of civil right. This is so because, like Martin Luther said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” A very recent survey in India shows that there are approximately 3.2 crore cases spending in high and lower courts which means there is no meaning for justice and if at it is there , it is in a very wrong timely fashion. But it dosent mean that justice should be hurried and consequently buried bt justice should be renderered on a proper time basis and justice must be manifestly done. But the present day society is a victim to the dilatoriness of the process of justice.People unfortunately fall victim to injustice. Majority of the Indians are poor and illiterate but still they manage to go to courts to get justice by paying their hard-earned money to advocates, Law clerks and fail to get justice.This has been a curse and a major drawback to Indian judicial justice

The most recent Nirbhaya case can be taken as the best example where the incident took place on 16th December 2012 which shook the whole country but thought the justice was delivered it was delivered on 10tseptember 2013 which was a delayed one. In a country like india where women are respected and treated like god , rape cases are on a very high zone and the ratio has been incressing day by day and eventually the justice delivered in such cases is also very time consuming where most of the rape victims would have already been on their dead bed. There should be some standerdisation on such rape cases where justice should be

    Biased Justice

    I remember this quote, “Equal justice under law is not just a caption on the façade of the supreme court building. It is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic status, by Justice Lewis Powell Jr,” when I read the cases of Edel Gonzalez and Ethan couch. On the light of above quote and the two cases (incidents that would be further discuss more) I would like to discuss the effects of rich power on the justice and how bad upbringing of the children affects the society. And not only society also the future of the younger generation. As only the rich are able to escape the sentence to life in prison but the rest of them are leading their whole life in prison. So in the essay the discussion will continue with, sentence to life in prison should that be given or not.…

    It is with great expectation that society as a whole believe that the criminal justice system is a fair and effective system. The system obtains evidence for guilt which is seen to be overwhelming and clearly more convincing than the defendants claim to innocence.(Walker,1993) However in recent years some court cases have not been subject to this as miscarriages of justices have occurred. A ‘miscarriage of justice’ can be defined as a failure to attain the desired end-result of ‘justice’. (Walker,1993) With the expectation of justice in the democratic society we live in today, the states role should treat individuals with equal respect for their rights and for the rights of others. However in the system we use Packer (1969) gives the alternative view and recognizes that the possibility of human fallibility and error can thereby yield grave injustice. (Packer,1969) Giving an indication as to why sometimes miscarriages of justices can occur due to the setup of the way we convict defendants. There are many factors that enable miscarriages of justice, and therefore must be evaluated as to why miscarriages arise in the criminal justice system, and how it should and has responded in the past. This being barriers that impact on a fair trial, flaws evidential sufficiency, politics, race, media, or even the legal institutions itself such as the police.…

    Rape cases that are explained and shown in/on the news, courts, and in popular culture/media are portrayed in a number of different ways. Some rape cases are exposed to bring awareness of such act that happens in domestic violence and sexual assaults. Some are exposed as news coverage to inform their readers, listeners, and views what is going in society when the act of rape is a very serious issue to the lives of the victims. There are some cases that there are some justice of rape only if there is some kind of proof that a victim was rapes by their perpetrator. There are some instances where some perpetrators can actually get away with a rape case on them, which I believe is not fair to the victim. Based on what we hear, watch, and listen…

    The emergence of the concept of juvenile justice in India owes much to the developments that have taken place in western countries, especially in the perception of children and human rights jurisprudence in Europeand America. The Apprentices Act, 1850 was the first legislation that laid the foundation of juvenile justice system in the country. The concept consequently gained momentum with the enactment of the Indian Penal Code (1860), Reformatory Schools Act (1897), Code of Criminal Procedure (1898) and recommendations made by the Indian Jail Committee (1919-1920), which categorically mentioned that the child offender should be treated differently from an adult offender. It also held that imprisonment of child offenders should be prohibited and recommended for provision of reformatory schools and constitution of children’s courts with procedures ‘as informal and elastic as possible’. The Committee also drew attention to the desirability of making provisions and special enactment for children who had not committed crime so far, but could do so in the near future on account of living in criminal or inhuman surroundings or those without proper guardians or homes.…
