I wrote about judicial corruption & overreach. They tracked me down, found my university, called the authorities and tried to pressure me into silence—Rishi A. Kumar, a law student https://t.co/e0Affe4Xu0
Postman's pension, peon's provident fund, lower division clerk's minor punishment (not major), armyman's disability pension, sweeper's wage fixation, -- this is what the Government litigates the most in the Courts.

More than 5 years in prison, without a trial.
What’s in a name they say? Ask Umar Khalid.
The Supreme Court of India has acted in the MOST CRUEL manner in the bail plea of Umar Khalid. It has not just rejected his plea, but also, effectively, RESTRICTED him from applying for bail for the next ONE YEAR! What a terrible, terrible day for democracy.
SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
"I am really happy for the others, who got bail! So relieved", Umar said.
"I'll come tomorrow for Mulaqat", I replied.
"Good good, aa jana. Ab yahi zindagi hai".

Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam ll have to bear the weight of their names and their intellect. Muslims generally would be punished but it is outright criminal in India to be an outspoken Muslim intellectual.

Basically the court has refused bail despite years of incarceration without trial and has also told the prosecution and the trial court that there’s no need to expedite the trial - essentially imposing a long sentence on the accused pending trial.
Maybe you’d like to know how the judiciary looks at important constitutional challenges? Or perhaps you’d like to be interested in the appointments themselves? How do judges get appointed to the High Court and Supreme Court? You might find some interesting stuff there.
If you thought the Indian judiciary was irrational in its judgement on dogs, or too hasty in shutting down the challenge to E20 Ethanol, may I perhaps request you to provide your attention to how the judiciary deals with issues of bail for undertrials for over five years?
When, in the coming years, we see anti Indian sentiment rising in Japan just like in the west - this is the moment that should be thought of for the beginning of it.
