It’s heartening to note Mumbai Fast Track Court has awarded life imprisonment to the accused in the rape case in very short time. Incidentally, the gang rape victim was a press photographer. True, in some instances court proceedings in rape cases advanced with commendable speed and the culprits brought to justice in a short time as in Mumbai And Delhi.But there’re plethora of instances where case proceeds with snail’s pace and the victims have to wait months together in vain for conviction of the accused. For instance, in West Bengal umpteen incidents of rape cases have so far taken place but sadly in none of the cases the accused has been punished as yet.CM, however, claims there’s no administrative laxity in pursuing the criminal cases like rapes but facts speaks of the half-hearted and casual approach to such brutal crimes against women. Truly speaking, the govt always try to shove these heinous crimes below the carpet lest it should tarnish its image. Police allegedly sometimes slap lighter charges on the accused to let them get off the hook easily.Further CM’s argument that trial in Kamduni rape case was delayed because the relatives of the rape murder victim shifted the case to other court has few takers. She didn’t explain why pronouncement of verdicts in other rape cases are also delayed. Unless the administration takes very stern attitude against these barbaric acts, the accused would walk free nonchalantly after committing crimes to repeat the same again.
