Dear Mausam,
Few days back I read in a magazine something really astonishing and stunning. We often lament about the sad state of affairs of the indian judicial system, but let me shed some light about the judicial system in one of the most advanced country of the world, Japan.
In Japan,
An accused is guilty until proven innocent!
Accused can be held for interrogation for 23 days without any charge, without being offered bail, and without proper legal representation!
The conviction rate in Japan is over 99%.
With 99% conviction rate an accused is better off accepting all the charges levelled against him/her as that will ensure a relatively lenient punishment.
A new movie called "I Just Didn't Do It" by a Japanese director highlights this very aspect of Japanese society. Thankfully, the Indian Judicial system is far better in comparison.
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
