Thanks for bringing this to light. We need is reforms from the point of view of common citizens of India. That's how it is done in any developed nation. when will we realize the essence of a sound and robust democracy. It's our democracy and we can't let the goons run it for us.

			<description><![CDATA[Dear Swapneshwar, I will respond to your vital concerns with the limited knowledge that i have gained by staying at law school for three years. The first response that instantaneously comes to my mind is an observation of the Supreme Court. My friend, the decision of Prakash Singh v. Union of India came after a long wait of 20 years and the court in this case issued directives to be effective till proper law is enacted because it needed immediate attention. Enactment of laws is primarily a function of the legislature. Since, there was a lack of legislative will and intent the Supreme Court stepped in. To sorry state of affairs is that the legislative body is unfortunately doing everything to maintain status quo. Your next observation is that my suggestion number 2 is leading towards the jury system. Further you also observe and cite nanavati’s case where Supreme Court of India has abolished the jury system in India for “pity” matters. Dear friend, I will differ from you in this regard. I consider it is as a matter of right that no one gets harassed by the law enforcement machinery. For the enforcement of these vital rights which in no way is a matter of pity. Further, I think you would agree that departmental bias effects the decision if you have police official on board. It is a basic principal of natural justice that a person cannot be a judge in his own case. This therefore would ensure transparent and unbiased decision making process. I will also depart from your view that this in any way is leading to a jury system. It is just making the system more participatory and democratic. I hold the view that even if it is leading to a jury system we all agree that law evolves and a thing which was earlier not acceptable can be acceptable at a later point of time. Regards, Shantanu Chanakya National Law University]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[practice and this can only be ensured by imparting human rights education. No doubt if one would not welcome ur last suggestion which hold major importance in maintaining law and order for a nation. At last I will only stress on one of the major issue which I feel author also tried to shed a light and is of major concern to the nation is Strong and functional laws within the nation and positive attitude of lawmakers and the role of NGO in giving the base in educating the society about there rights and laws and one of the major one is accountability and transparence and good governance in policing standards.

			<description><![CDATA[police officials on-board which should enquire into any allegations of complaints against police officials. This would ensure that every victim of human rights violation has a platform for redressal, making the police accountable. Author sir I do not concur with this suggestion to an extent; somehow it feels to me that ur suggesting that we should once again move toward Jury system. As per my limited knowledge in K. M. Nanavati vs. State of Maharashtra, AIR 1962 SC 605 Supreme Court of India has abolish the jury system in India for pity matters. This will again raise the major issues relating jurisdictional and other influencing aspects, I would like to highlight that it also vehemently believe that Since the jury is a part of civil society it can be influenced by media and public support for being bias. Certainly I appreciating ur extremely well argued pinpointing suggestion in relation to the law in books must be put to practice and this can only be ensured by imparting human rights education. No doubt if one would not welcome ur last suggestion which hold major importance in maintaining law and order for a nation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I do add to you words that through out he world it has been realized that how essentials are these police reforms which aim to bring more strictness and accountability before the society. There are many international Laws and Standards that Affect Policing which are huge in numbers what I wanted to put on the table is bringing more swiftness reforms will not be effective until whole system is reshuffled in any adequate manner the reforms should not be only at the apex level but it should be evidential a the foundation. We all are very much aware of number of decision passed by Hon’ble courts all around the world giving basis to police reforms but what the question lies on the table is are we satisfied with the present laws and reforms? In opinion we still lack behind sir. In Your article your high valued suggestions no 2 which indicates that there should be an independent board composed of civil society members with no police officials on-board which should enquire into any allegations of complaints against police officials. This would ensure that every victim of human rights violation has a platform for redressal, making the police accountable.

			<description><![CDATA[Dear Author It was pleasure reading your thought on such vital and contemporary issue. I express my deep concern over this issue being a law student and honored civilian of a nation we cannot solitary anticipate that our most respect judiciary will always lend a hand in implementing the directives I do not concur nor do I criticize your valuable thought on this issue I do accept as true that judiciary plays a major role in preserving the human rights and human value by issuing directives so the welfare of society and fair treatment by the authorities, but my point is that Ordinary citizens, who continue to face the brunt of terrorist attacks, bad policing and poor governance not only in this country but all over the globe we the people have to wake up and ask these questions before our representative which we select and send them to that post which governs all these vital issues. I do add to you words that through out he world it has been realized that how essentials are these police reforms which aim to bring more strictness and accountability before the society.
