Government fails to deliver its duty

The much debated CrPC Amendment Act which is now Act No. 5 of 2009 as per the following RTI Communication,

Police can no longer arrest arbitrarily

has more to offer. After that I filed another RTI asking them the justification of delay in enforcing the law as per the below submitted RTI Application,

RTI to MHA CrPC Amendment

And the reply received is available at,

RTI Reply MHA Justification of Delay for CrPC

The RTI reply clearly shows the apathy of the Union Home Ministry towards laws passed by the Houses of Parliament and the Honorable President of India and the public welfare at large.

The RTI reply clearly shows that how on just one letter by a lawyer’s association, the Union Home Ministry is not implementing a law that has been enacted keeping in mind the welfare of the pubic.

I will not mention here about the 40 Lakh unnecessary arrests that happened in 2007.

Further, after CrPC Amendment Act becoming a law the Union Home Ministry has no constitutional powers to stop its enforcement based on a single letter of opposition from groups with vested interests.

Moreover, NGOs under the aegis of Save Indian Family movement, have sent close to 15 representations supporting the CrPC Amendment Act which have been clearly ignored and one representation by laywers (whose illegitimate income is getting affected with the amendment) is being used a lousy excuse by the Union Home Ministry to not to enforce the Act.

What more a mockery of democracy can be than this?
