India is considered a safe haven for criminals due to widespread corruption, a backlogged judicial system, and the presence of criminals in politics. The country's laws are often not enforced strictly, and criminals can easily avoid punishment through delays, appeals, and political influence. As a result, crimes like murder, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism are regularly committed with little consequence to the perpetrators. Reform is needed to strengthen law enforcement, speed up the judicial process and keep criminals out of elected office to make India less safe for criminal activities.

Elections form the mainstay of our Indian Democracy. Our democratic setup bestows on us the right to elect the representatives of the state. Besides, the elected people have the right to choose the Head of the State. The elections in India have a long history. India has both General and State elections as promoted by our federal structure. The Election Commission of India is the apex body that conducts elections in India. Both the General and State Elections are held as per the rules prescribed by the Election Commission. This Commission is composed of high-ranking government officials and is constituted according to the provisions of the Indian Constitution. A great degree of autonomous power is bestowed on the Election Commission to exercise control over the election process. Even the judiciary has no right to intervene while the electoral process is on.
Electoral and political reforms are urgently needed to reserve politics only to perfectionists who intend to dedicate their whole time and energy to serve the people of the country round the clock. It is imperative to consider these new political and electoral reforms for better, healthy and improved democracy to remove corruption, inequalities, unemployment and mis-governance. Varma’s political and electoral reforms are aimed at empowering under privileged, working class, rural and urban areas.
India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency.The mainstay of a democratic society .Elections helps to solve the problem of succession in leadership and thus contributes to the continuation of democracy .

An analysis of whether the nation’s key environmental watchdog is losing its teeth to violators who flout its rulings with apparent impunity
Mr. Kislay Pandey Supreme Court of India, Following enormous demonstrations from the public and international organisations, the courts made it clear that the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is sanctioned to defend whistleblowers and to take actions on their complaints. The CVC can now take action against anybody who discloses names of whistleblowers, and witnesses and can request police assistance to investigate complaints.”
Corruption is eating India like a cancer. We can no longer ignore it with the hope that it will go away. We need to approach the problem ruthlessly & with a total commitment to eradicate corruption from our society, to make our Nation strong, proud and a world leader.
Legal Aid Services in Criminal Justice System.pptxHabibZafar7
National Legal Service Authority has introduced Legal Aid Defense Counsel System mostly all over Districts in India. This presentation represents the need for having this system and impact it can have on defense mechanism.
VALLEY OF FEAR
With the Centre cancelling the Amarnath Yatra and rushing a huge number of paramilitary forces to Kashmir, fears arise that it is a prelude to abrogating Articles 35A and 370. Is
a constitutional coup around the corner?
2. INTRODUCTION
Crime is present in various forms
in India; organized crime includes
drug trafficking, gunrunning,
money laundering, extortion,
murder for hire, fraud, human
trafficking and poaching.
Many criminal operations engage in black marketeering, political
violence, religiously motivated violence, terrorism, and
abduction. Corruption is a significant problem.
3. 1.Corruption and police misconduct – Corruption is widespread in
India. Corruption has taken the role of a pervasive aspect of
Indian politics. In 2006, seven policemen were charge sheeted and
eleven were convicted for custodial misconduct.
2.Crimes against foreigners in India - Many of the crimes occur
against foreigners only. Scams involving export of jewels occur in
India, which target foreign citizens. Traveling alone in remote
areas after dark is of particular risk to foreigners.
3. Petty crime - Petty crime, like pick pocketing, bag snatching etc.
is widespread in India. Purse snatchers work in crowded areas.
4. Rape and sexual assault - Incidents of rape and sexual assault
against foreign tourists at popular tourist spots is increasing in
India.

5. Judicial system
There are four pillars of a
democracy- the legislature,
executive, judiciary and the
fourth estate. The judiciary in
our democracy has been
sinking in the morass of
inefficiency, corruption and
delays

9. Additional Information
According to the Union home ministry, some 800 people have
been arrested and jailed under POTA. Some 4,000 people
from across country were also booked under the Act.
But,though TADA was repealed long ago, there are still
prisoners languishing in jails in India under this Act.
Jharkhand saw the largest number of arrests under POTA.
Some 250 people have been jailed under the law in this
eastern state.
. But human rights activists say POTA has been misused in
Jharkhand against poor, low-caste, tribal people and
farmers and villagers who support Naxal groups.
The Manmohan Singh government is contemplating
alternative measures to check terrorism,

14. Why is Kasab still living
in our country n Indian
govt. wasting money on
him? Why he not be
hanged out?
15. At this juncture it seems highly unlikely that Kasab
will actually ever be hanged
Why I say this is because…..
1. Firstly he has option of
appealing in the Supreme Court
and after that the mercy petition
2.The second reason why we feel
Kasab will unlikely be hanged is
that now his fate will also get
inextricably linked to an Indian
national, Sarabjeet Singh.
16. 3.The third reason more than anything else is the vote bank
politics of Congress
Kasab is more secure than you and me, with a high
profile security set up costing millions of dollars and
healthcare facilities like no other’.
17. Nineteen years, 40 adjournments and
400 hearings later, all Rathore got was
six months of imprisonment and a 1000
Rupees fine. However, he obtained bail
within 10 minutes of the verdict after
furnishing a bail bond of 10,000 Rupees
thus making a mockery of the
justice. The Justice in India has yet
again chosen the nasty path by humbly
succumbing to the rich and the
powerful. Has the verdict not shamed
the entire nation?
18. This seriously demonstrates a
miscarriage of the Indian
judicial system. Apart from
the verdict, what outraged
the public is Rathore’s
beaming smiles as he was
exiting the court with not an
iota of remorse showing up on
his face.
19. The question here is do we really need a huge public outcry
and demonstration for every case with a wrong
verdict? How many cases like Ruchika’s do enter into the
court’s bone at all? What we need is stronger law
enforcements and cleaner judicial system . The judicial
system should stop being biased to the wealthy lot and the
politicians .
20. Probably because of the crusading media and the huge
public outburst, Ruchika’s case might get justice of some
sorts in the end but if we take a moment to think……
Is this the way we want to
get justice?
21. CRIMINALS IN POLITICS
There is something about Indian politics that strikes everybody who
has a closer look at the biographies of politicians.
According to Indian law, a politician can be elected, even if there are
criminal charges pending against him.
Here are some statistics of one of our neighbouring states, Bihar: in
the elections 2005, there were 358 candidates who had criminal cases
pending against them. They came from all parties. Out of these 358
candidates, 213 had cases like murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping,
robbery, extortion or similar pending against them.
It is obvious why: Indian politics become more and more criminal, the
more criminals are sitting in our parliaments and councils.
We have a democracy but the public chooses the criminals and sends
them to parliament!
24. Rape any one, kill any one, blast India is considered the safest
anywhere, break any heavens for criminals because its
law, spread corruption you can law makers themselves are
commit all the crimes here. criminals
The person who has filed a case
Commit any crime you will get against you soon gets tired by
bail immediately and your case going to court for years and
will go for many years years that's why most of the
people don't want to go to court
for fighting their case.
Though some terrorists are Terrorists are killing innocent
caught alive still nothing people easily, gangsters are
happens with them. In fact many murdering their targets, robbers
politicians here have criminal are looting the people each crime
cases against them. is being done openly.
There are very few people who have got
justice here.
26. Suggestions
We the people of
India, having solemnly
resolved to constitute India
into a Sovereign Socialist
Secular Democratic Republic
and to secure to all citizens:
We need more
participation of the citizens
in bringing about these
changes. All this is
necessary because we need
a clearer picture of our
future.
27. When we hear these familiar words, only one thing comes to
our minds ‘the INDIAN constitution’.
These are the very first words of the Preamble
Are the people of India in
real terms assured of
Justice, liberty, equality
and fraternity?
Is the common man today
receiving justice? Does
equality really prevail?
Is Liberty being exercised
by all today?
28. The Water (prevention and control) Pollution Act has some
major defects. With majority of our rivers drying up and the
sorry state of Yamuna shows the incompetence of the Act
in the present times. The act still talks about wells and
streams as being the sources of water. Wells and streams
were the sources of water in ancient times but now we have
rivers, lakes, ponds, artificial water bodies which have been
totally excluded from the purview of this Act. Shockingly
this act does not even define what a ‘water pollutant’ is. Nor
does water table levels and potable water etc. find any
place in the Act. Whatever amendments have taken place in
this act have only been with respect to the Environment
Protection Act. Thus the act is a complete failure in itself.
29. We need more participation of the citizens in bringing about these
changes instead of leaving the change to the selfish
politicians, some of whom can barely claim to be educated. All
this is necessary because we need a clearer picture of our future.
At the end we would say - “In today already walks tomorrow.
Because the future is much like the present, only longer”
31. Our faith in the judicial system always stands
questioned, but, certain judgments, such as the Bhatnagar case, seek
to retain our faith occasionally.
The fact that media coverage cannot reach to every nook and
corner of the country is another weak point, adding to the already
never-ending list of weaknesses of the judiciary.
It is true that the judicial system in India has upheld its
stature and worked out how to properly dole out justice. Yet,
millions still await justice.
We, as responsible citizens, should aim to work for the
betterment of the system and not get swayed by the tiny
concessions given to us in the form of such once-in-a-blue-moon
victories. Today, the judiciary has carved out a niche for itself but
the vision of creating a judiciary as the guardian of the citizens
still remains a vision.
