National Security and Criminal justice system on trial.
What the nation should do, what Hon'ble SC should do.
SC should act now. SC should direct the constitution of a Commission of Inquiry and Prosecution on 2G scam. This Commission should be the nucleus of a National Anti-Corruption Commission on the lines of the Commission in Hongkong.
The nation owes a deep debt of gratitude to Dr. Subramanian Swamy, for highlighting the state of the criminal justice system of the country which has reached such low depths that national security has been compromised.
Something is rotten in the state of Hindusthan and the rot seems to have engulfed the criminal justice system.
Kudos to Dr. Swamy for seeking to exercise the rights of a citizen as detailed under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
I think the issue should be seen by the Hon'ble SC in the broader perspective of the intention of the makers of the Constitution when they put in place a Criminal Justice System and related procedures to achieve justice against criminal acts.
The intention is clearly drawn from our dharmashastras and the supremacy of dharma even though the wordings in the Constitution and Acts of Parliament might have drawn inspiration from Roman jurisprudence. Criminal Procedure Code 1898 which followed the Indian Penal Code of 1860 is an Anglo-Hindu Law amalgam. The Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Criminal Procedure Code, 1872, and the Civil Procedure Code, 1909 were part of the system of jurisprudence introduced during the colonial regime. The Indian Penal Code was later reproduced in most other British colonies—and to date, many of these laws are still in places as far apart as Singapore, Sri Lanka,Nigeria, and Zimbabwe.
It is time to turn it to safeguard the security of the nation which is imperilled by the induction of an extra-constitutional authority at the helm of the state affairs.
