>Exactly what is a "complete joke" about the legal system ? The whole in its entirety ?
As a share of GDP, India spends less than almost any other country on criminal justice. The legal system is plagued with almost absurd delays, with many cases taking over a decade to come to trial. India is the most corrupt country in Asia and one of the most corrupt in the world; bribing police officers is the norm rather than the exception. Extrajudicial killings by police are organised, commonplace and are ignored or condoned by politicians and the judiciary.
I can't think of any part of the Indian criminal justice system that isn't severely dysfunctional.

- codegladiator 7y agoThis is just the most negative take you can have on the system. > The legal system is plagued with almost absurd delays Explained in other sibling comment. > India is the most corrupt country in Asia but not the most corrupt in the world right ? not even in top 10. And you choose to say "a complete joke". > Extrajudicial killings by police are organised, commonplace and are ignored or condoned by politicians and the judiciary Law doesn't work like that. It would be a major problem if judiciary was just able to do what it "thinks" is correct. > I can't think of any part of the Indian criminal justice system that isn't severely dysfunctional. Don't even know how to respond to that. Maybe become a judge in a court ?
- zkmon 7y agoYour justification for extra-judicial stuff is nonsense. Do you know what happened in hyderabad recently?
- naveen99 7y agoThere are several countries in Asia with higher levels of corruption.
