Should laws be flexible to take account of circumstances?

The constitution has provided us with the three stout conglomerates - the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The effective governance of these bodies are the rudimentry ingredients for a nation to grow and flourish. The judiciary is inevitably the closest to the yeoman. The laws imposed by the judiciary are indeed socialist and irrespective of any regional, communal, cultural or economic bias. But should the laws be flexible to take account of various circumstances, times and place?

A flexible law structure would ensure that there is little or very less injustince being done to the victim who would have been a scapegoat of malacious circumstances. It would take into consideration a deluge of factors before arriving to a conclusion. Notwitstanding the accused might get a reprieve and all charges enthrusted upon him might get rejected. But the primariy concern would be to keep our corrupt society isolated from the misuse of offered resiliance.

To maintain proper law and order we should ensure that there are no predjudices in the society. And moreover, the flexibility provided in the law structure would certainly give way to lawlesness and sheer disorder. The aristocrats would be in a situation to dictate terms to the judiciary by bribing witnesses, advocates and judges as there would be some flexibility in the law-book that would ensure exoneration to the accused. Secondly, this would lead to hue and cry if the decision is turned against the conceiter. Rather, this would lead to nation wide protests and the devastation could be beyond control. The criminals would be consulting shrewd lawyers before planning henious strategies so as to stave off from charges and covet the benefit of doubt in their favor.

Moreover, the laws imposed on the citizens should be unanimous and there should be no room for lobbying. Equal rights granted to the citizens should be intact to ensure a congenial environment for the citizens. This would ensure that decisions made are unbiased and ensuring the prime objective of judiciary. A rigid law structure would therefore be in alignment the nations socialistic goals and would provide impetus for constant upbringing of the society.

Relativity!

This comes from the heart of India – Purani Delhi . Rajvir grew up amidst the hustle-bustle of the screeching Chandni Chowk , undoubtedly the most chaotic part of north India. Being the only son of the eldest brother amongst his father’s siblings, responsibilities and abiding by them had been an inherited trait for Rajvir. Rajvir’s life had been all about books, household chores and a seldom game of cricket in the inaccessible galis of Ballimaran . Rajvir’s father accumulated money for his only son to ensure he received the best education and a satisfying career. Rajvir went to an international school where his classmates would be offspring of the wealthiest and most influential personalities of Delhi and NCR. He always saw them happy, carefree and ignorant about the problems that existed in a poor man’s household. His family could barely pull out his tuition and he was proud of the sacrifices that his parents did for him. Wherein he saw his schoolmates being driven to school...

The closest octagon

This entry is dedicated (sounds mourning, isn’t it); or rather written to honor my closest and dearest chums at Infy. Don’t exactly know where to begin from. But I would like to reincarnate the memories of Hyderabad. Remember the day when we got news of our postings after an extended training at Infosys Mysore. The fairytale starts with a bus ride from Mysore to Hyderabad. A fleet of approx 80 Finaclites, all filled with joy of clearing their compre’s; stepping into their professional careers. I was completely ignorant that a tenth of them would glue together so amazingly that their lives would be entwined in a manner that the threads would always mingle with the present; wherever future takes them and whatever the past impinges upon. The stay at the Woodbridge hotel culminated in moving into our new apartment. Three new folks from different regions, best buddies from college days. I was completely new to their company and not being a hosteller my entire life, brought in varying perspe...

The Amtrak that made a difference!

Hardly do I miss an opportunity to let go off my headphones hanging around my neck. But I’m glad it happened. I did lose the opportunity to listen to my favorite folk numbers but it gave me a lot of time to ponder over me and myself. Let me rewind a little, starting back from a couple of fortnights. After spending the busiest three and a three quarter months of my life amidst hectic school assignments, projects, part-time, team activities, exams and last but not the least – the stupid blondes at EVK, I ended up being on the losing front – two straight B+’s in two courses.; followed up with an A-, that if not resurrected the lost pride, but veiled the dishonor to some extent. But carefree and excited about having to end it all; I was living a gleeful life in SFO with my dearest and closest. Then suddenly in the middle of the day my phone rung; not even in my slightest of imagination did I expect an interview call and guess from where – PriceWaterHouseCoopers. No doubt I was exc...
