Reforms Urgently required in criminal and Civil laws in india

1.Appoint more judges at all levels to double the capacity of courts. Put legal cess on all public servants( 5 to 10% of basic salary) only to recover 505 of increaed cost because they are main caue of litigations and crimes in india.
2.Expand to atleast 2 fast track courts in each district HQ in india with 2 judges in each.
3.Increase court fees for filing suits to atleast Rs 500/- There is no argument that ppl are poor.it is silly because lawyers bleed them by thousands.The loosing party to make good the fees to plaintiff/complainant.
4.Change sections in Cr PC giving right to police to arrest on merely reasonable suspicion of committing crime.It should be "convincing circumstances after preliminary scrutiny that a person or pesons have committed a heineous crime and acts like Cheating,forgery,theft,murder,rape,public uprising and robbery or where person is likely to run away or destroy important material evidences or can commit seious offences punishable with 7 yrs or more punishment".For all other cases take away power and need for pre arrest unless person refuses to cooperate in investigation 4a. Handover criminal investigation to accrdited private detective companies.same way handover traffic and Motor vehicle registration work to private agencies. The verification of addreses and character certificates work should alsobe handed to private agencies. In other words clip the revenue sources of rampantly corrupt police force in the country.Crime detection needs expertise, cmmitment,training and motivation that is not possible in state hired khakhi clad goons who are ill rained, corrupt,misbehaved and a number of thjem booze takers.
5 Implement justice Malimath recommendations to change Indian evidence act and trial procedures to make conviction easier and faster.
6.Judges to get enough powers to discharge person arrested by police at very begining stage or at challan stage on inadequate grounds of evidence and prosecution to avoid foolish and mandatory
trials inceasing work load and acquittal rates and harassment to innocent citizens.
7. Make Financial penalties main plank of criminal and civil jurisprudence like in USA also so that people are afraid to do crimes and cheating.These should be recovered as land revenue arrears and jailing the convicts or decreed persons till they pay up.Concept of torts and damages should be made easy and included in judicial orders.
7.Increase penalties in IPC which are 60 years old and ridiculously low. For rape Rs 2000 ,cheating and forgery Rs 1000. For murder may be Rs 10,000 and or rape Rs 2000/.It is shameful. The fines have to be revised atleast 10 times.
8.Make victim co-prosecutor in all cases and right to be heard and right to object.
9.Provide compenation damages in criminal trials on conviction ,with even ,interim help by acused till disposal of case.
10.Fix trial and appellate limits to 1.5 yrs and 0.5 yrs maximum.The conduct of lawyers to be regulated and judges to have power to forward names of non cooperating and false suit filling lawyers for dismissal from Bar.
11.Remove lawyers from family and consumer courts and other welfare and small cause courts.
12. Increae court fee to Rs 500.The argument that people are poor is sham as lawyers bleed litigants by thousands of rupees,even from rural areas.
13. Make Life imprisonment and consifcation of entire property of self and depenent relatives {first family unit members} of corrupt public servants.
14. Change public servants rule to make dismissal easier by a 2 step higher officer or Governor/President as applicable on public complaints and poor honesty and efficiency record.Retire 25% government employees after 10 years of service and 50% thereafter every 5 years of service.
15. Appoint district wise Public grievance cum public Information officer of level of Dy commissioner/DIG/SSP with powers to call records , hold summary trial and recommend dismissal/arrest of errant public servants. Invite objections to public if any before promoting further any Jr class I and above central /state cadre offcials.The promotion committee should have atleast 2 eminent citizens on board along with departmental superisors.reduce promotion rates of public
servants and make spotless pefromance as pre-requisite after 2 pomotions.
16.In civil law also fix time limit for civil cases, propety related cases and reovery/financial suits to be disposed within 2 years maximum an appeal 6 months. The decree of court should be converted to criminal offense after 3 months period of decree order if not complied by person to pay. Should be sent to jail till discharges duty. Today court decree has no meaning.No one obeys it.Appeals are filed without
depositing aleast 50% interst free deposit in courts. The whole system is fraudulent and toothless and thus cases of fraud, cheating, financial frauds and propety grabbing are increasing. It is duty of litigant to get dcree executed.This is plain silly and counte rproductive. Similarly maximum 6 months trial period for expulsion of illegal encroachers/tenants etc shold be fixed
17. Bring law of torts and damges in criminal procedures and magistrates to have power to award penalty equivalent to amount of fruad with additional penal interest and compensation to victim
It is ironical that in new laws all such provisions are there but in IPC which is aging and useless document, no changes have been made yet.
18. Police officials and public servants should also be braught under law of State torts. And money be recovered from their salary and gratuity etc or by revenue error concept.
19. Mimimm Rs 25000 fine where courts come to reasonable conclusion that case or complaint filed was malacious, malafied, vaxatious, falsely filed as counter complaint. This besides Imprisonment for one month. A black mark to be added against counsel.When three balckmarks are accumulated, lawyer to be
expelled from bar for 3 years period and pay fine of Rs 25,000.Today for large number of lawyers there is no difference between criminals and them. They msibehave with clients, dont pay attenmtion to case, ovecharge and delay proceedings.
20. A summary court should hear public complaints against harassment by lawyers, professional misconduct, misbehaviour,negligence and over charging as well as against corrupt court offcials who demand money.This should be simple demi-judicial poceeding n lines of consumer courts.Bar council of
india should open special grievanc cell and be empowered to dismiss the lawyer permanently within 6 months of enquiry.
21. Cheating,Forgery and property grabbing should be redefined as heinous crimes with minimum 5 yrs imprisonment and recovery order by trial court itself.
22. It shouldbe Courts duty to get all their orders implemented within 3 months period or put defaulting party in jail and recover dues as revenue arrears.
In present Form Indian judiciary is fraudulent,ineffective,harrassing to citizens and pro lawyers/pro criminals.It is a burden and nuisiance for indian citizens who pay their salary and perquisites.
