The Denied Justice

The center of the storm Juvenile Justice Act was instituted so that any minor is not treated harshly for any mistake.Below 18 years of age,a boy or girl has not yet developed requisite wisdom of taking all decisions correct.So,his case must be seen under the frame-work of a mistake rather than a crime and he must be provided a chance to reform.But is rape just a mistake.There are numerous youths who desire to satisfy their libido but are under-control due to stringent laws of country and society.If at an age of under-eighteen,and how the age is ascertained,by the school-certificate of an illiterate,one can have the girl of their choice,we should remove all veils of shame and start participating in naked-dance of childhood.A 17 years boy is is no way ignorant or even child in the twenty-first century.He knows everything and even in larger magnitude that 34 years old man.Everyone had been seventeen,and everyone knows the simple maturity of that age.Not in terms of business dealing but in matters of social conduct.Even if one holds the hand of a beloved in social place,he is put to shame by others.And if he is 7,he can certainly do the same carefree.
The brutality and the magnitude of crime in Delhi Gang Rape has been monstrous and monster had been involved in the crime.To talk about the human rights of any of them is a crime.The only eye-witness told the media that it was the juvenile who was the worst criminals among all the guilty.He wooed the girl into the bus,aided the rape and finally inserted the rod to murder her.Three years punishment is a mockery of the plight of Nirbhaya.See might be Nirbhaya but the verdict suggests that the criminals are the ones who should actually feel Nirbhaya,which literally transforms into without fear.Did not the criminal knew what he was doing?Raping and murdering an innocent girl.He was all the time understanding the gravity of the situation.Afterall,how many 17 year boys go on to rape a girl!But,the decision is a welcome step for all of them who are fearing law and society.
The court had limited scope in the wake of constitutional provisions.But the Parliament could have certainly amended the provision.Atleast they could have removed rape crimes from the protection of Juvenile Act.But this time,there wont be any consensus in the Parliament.But bring a bill to keep political parties out of the ambit of RTI or to increase the pay off of MPs,then see the general calm and serenity in the procedure.If they can not make a law offering proper punishment to the rapists,they do better hang the people who had dared the government during the agitation for justice to Nirbhaya.They must be today feeling lost and cheated.How can afterall we live with such a huge weight over our soles?Justice has been delivered and maximum punishment offered.Somewhere,down the lane a drunk youth is singing "Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Per Wo Kaha Hai"(Where are the ones who took proud in India).
