"I realise that some of my criticisms may be mistaken; but to refuse to criticize judgements for fear of being mistaken is to abandon criticism altogether... If any of my criticisms are found to be correct, the cause is served; and if any are found to be incorrect the very process of finding out my mistakes must lead to the discovery of the right reasons, or better reasons than I have been able to give, and the cause is served just as well."

-Mr. HM Seervai, Preface to the 1st ed., Constitutional Law of India.

Suggested Changes in Criminal Justice System

Issues for consideration
  • Discussions on delay and speedy justice always points towards certain default solutions like special courts, fast track courts and ADR
  • True, they could be solutions but identifying and rectifying the problems in the existing system is equally important as creation of aternatives, which seldom get addressed
