R.S.Nayak vs A.R.Antulay on 5 April, 1984
In Antulay's case a complaint of documented corruption died an
unnatural death because of multifarious Writs and SLPs, despite the fact
that for every ton of cement, for which licence was granted, a fixed
amount of donation was paid by the licencees in the Trusts created for
this purpose and the entire payment was documented. Despite all that,
the complaint against corruption got killed and nothing happened,
courtesy Indian Judicial System. The judicial process is often used as a
tool to see that even if there is documented proof of commission of
Crl. Rev. P. No. 120 of 2010 Page 11 of 13
crime, the accused gets scot free because of multifarious levels of
appeals, writs, revisions, 482 Cr. P.C. petitions and SLPs to which the
accused and petitioners have unlimited access under the present
system. The real judicial reform can come in this country only when,
despite the strength of money power and political power, one is not able
to capture the judicial system and hold it to ransom on the strength of
this power.
