Justice Just & Fair(LEDS)

Sir,

Three recent unrelated items of information yet connected only by our justice system, should raise alarm flags in everyone's minds when considered together.

Socialite Bina Ramani, wanted in Jessica Lall murder case, when she could not be implicated in it,
faces upto life in prison for producing false documents to get a licence for her hotel, .

Telgi's narco analysis video tapes which should have been confidential are all over the media, seriously diluting their value as evidence if any. Lie detector tests given when the subject is in full possession of the faculties is not accepted by most justice systems. Then of what value are the ramblings of a scientifically "drunken" man under a Hitlerian method as a source of information or truth?

The Rash and reckless driver who made an illegal turn and endangered a child and mother and murdered Constable Thimmaih on duty at Rajbhavan intersection gets three months imprisonment.
Whither the "just" in justice?
