Are laws in your country fair?

being a law student i feel our Indian law is not fair actually it does not provide sufficient punishment for crimes. the procedure is ridiculous,time consuming and long procedures to be followed and it is just because of these drawbacks of law that crime rate is very high in country and politicians and other high profile people who are guilty of some offence are never arrested and if arrested not sentenced punishment sufficient to crime committed and poor and common people in country are denied justice due to corruption.there should be harsh punishment for every offence even its not so grave.there are very less punishment for grave offences.like in foreign law there are very harsh punishment even for a small offence for example for murder ninety nine years this causes fear in mind of culprit and he never dare to do crime.

Well, that is unfair to them because they should not go to jail without any justified reason. The law must be fair and just not just put anyone to jail without any court order. Sometimes the mistake of those law enforcers, the reason that innocent people put to jail. Those police officer must be familiar with laws for not mistakenly pin point anyone without any proof that they really commit a crimes...

Here in the uk, I feel some laws are fair and I guess we do have it better in some ways than other countries however, that doesn't always mean the justice system is then fair when dealing with them after the arrest.

These kind of surprisingly stupid laws are allover the world but if such laws are there it's not because of people who have made such laws but it's because of people like us who are ready to live with it. If we start protesting against such stupid laws obviously government will have to make changes in such laws.

Hi Sanher! Thanks for sharing this very important topic. Well, as we all know every country has its own constitutional by laws wherein, these will strictly enforced and implemented to all citizen under by a particular state/nation. However, in our country (Philippines), any laws implemented were carefully and cautiously drafted, reviews and voted by all members of the legislative branch. Then subject for the bicameral at the judicial branch. Thereafter, signing and approval by the head of the executive branch the (President). Now therefore, I am very sure that the law in our country is fair, I can certainly vouch with that. Nevertheless, there are some point of time wherein possible circumstances occurred that the application of the law was not derived on its proper implementation as to what is right or just. The law of minors in your country es perhaps having the same implementing rules as t our country. However, by this year there are already drafted amendments of that law accordingly submitted to the senate and these pertains to the increasing penalties covering the minors act. Hopefully, it will pass by this year because the rate of crimes involving minors is very rampant and really augmented its percentage. However, in terms of self defense, our human rights were very attentive to this. The alleged culprit who is said the suspect of the crime but due to self defense in which they're only protecting and defending himself/herself should undergo a fair trial and due process during court litigation. Furthermore, they are entitled to exercise their rights during court trial and explained why they need to fight against any threat from those criminals attacking them. Referring to your case mentioned, I think those innocents will be acquitted for they are entitled to use their rights and claim the "presumption of innocence". The law enforcers and the courts will definitely know it very well. Hence, I do hope that the judicial system in your country will be implemented carefully by the authorities.
