The people are scared to make a contact with a police officer as there is a fear in the mind of the public that in case if they proceed to approach a police officer, this may ultimately by resultant in implication of the false case of criminal nature and there after an association with the harden criminals if they are send to the jail. This phenomenon is sufficient to drag an individual in the esteem of crime once the hesitation in particular from remaining aloof from the realm of criminal activities is taken away from the psychology of an individual. The system of criminal trial based participation of the witness is also full of contradiction to provide substantive justice to an innocent person from the court of law. It is totally dependent upon the dimension of the evidence adduce before a court of law that the punishment is awarded to a citizen sometime even on the sole testimony of a witness. Can we trust a system where the crime is committed in the complete animosity at the dead of night when no one has actually seen the commission of the crime. The police on the basis of mere suspicion and sometime on the basis of the information received from the public/ informer may get an innocent person dragged in the crime. There is no other criteria left open for the police when the entire burden is casted upon the prosecution to prove a crime and onus is seldom shifted upon the accused person to prove his innocence. Can the police administration assigned with the responsibility may discharge such duties without having a fool proof machinery to dealt with the criminal. In absence of having a drastic measurement for adopting the deterrent theory of punishment, there will be no fear in the mind of the criminal and the crime will continue uninterruptedly without any check by the present administration of justice. The system of punitive theory of punishment with the better responsibility of the citizen indulged in the crime is required to be administered in the society. Thus the eradication of the prevailing melody is not dependent upon any set principle of law, nor the same could be given effect by the enactment of further stringent provisions of law but the same is required to be implemented by a major overhauling of the system. Till a determination of the iron will of the society and the administrator is not sound enough to override the personal benefit sacrificed for the benefit of the society, there can not be any change by the mere enforcement of the provision of the “He who having sworn by solemn oath at his coronation to protect the people from wrongful operation , fail to do so should be slain as a mad dog --- Mahabharat Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with all doors shut ? He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground and where the path maker is breaking stones. Put off the Holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil. The distress of Mahatma Gandhi on the wake of partition of Indian continent may still be heard from a distant voice calling to the people to unite and the unity in diversities may provide India’s survival as a nation before partition which depends on a wider vision of unity based on inter-dependence based on the sub continents and secularism and social justice. Let us try to hear again how distressed Mahatma ji was at the turn of events on the wake of partition: “ So far it was my desire to live upto the age of one hundred and twenty five years , but now I have no such desire . The objective before me was not just to attain freedom , but also to remove all the social ills in the society which had pestered during the 200 years of the British Rule. They have practically divested us of our traditions of tolerance and harmony and instead fomented hatred and discord through their communal policies . I had thought that we could change the entire system and the people of this country and would live together as brothers in love, harmony and peace, so that coming generations may be blessed with all of that , which we have been deprived of. Therefore in addition to the freedom of my country , the primary objective of my life was maintenance of cordial relations between Hindus and Muslims since I could not attain my objective , this freedom has become tainted .Today when I see Hindus and Muslims separated with more or less permanent gulf , I feel politically and spiritually defeated . I have no desire to live any longer …….when I cannot remove this mutual hatred and ill will between Hindus and Muslims , and cannot create feeling of love peace and harmony in name of God and religion , you tell whether there is any point in my living any more ? I would prefer death to this kind of life.”
