Courts –A close look at the day today functioning of any of the courts in India and informal chat with the litigants in the court premises immediately exposes the deeply entrenched corruption and a thriving litigation industry that sustains failure to deliever timely justice as the sole principle for success.The disillusioned petetioners are left hapless before all powerful judiciary that enjoys complete immunity to accountability and performance. This litigation industry stinks with corruption and wears the cloak of holy cow and has no mechanism to correct itself. The corruption here is well organized and accepted as way of functioning and you pay for everything from getting your date of hearing to any copy of the document you need. all the money is paid through the advocates’s clerks to court clerks. The advocates act as pimps and judicial officers as part of prosecution and maintain soft corner towards police officials for various favours that may range from supplying of kitchen gas cylinders to the house hold of Judges to providing of free car trips for holidays and doing courtesies of arranging crackers for the children of Judges.
