In 2002 brothers Vikas and Vishal Yadav murdered one Nitish Katara because they objected to his relationship with a woman named Bharti. They were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008 and are lodged in Tihar jail in Delhi. Yesterday Vikas Yadav was given one day's custodial parole to sign some legal papers. Apparently Vikas wants to give power of attorney to family members. The parole was granted not by some fourth class magistrate in the boondocks but by a judge at the Delhi High Court. It is inexplicable why the judge did not order the papers to be signed in prison with prison officers as witnesses. According to Neelam Katara, mother of the murdered man, the brothers made 85 hospital visits between May 2008 and February 2010 and another 66 since then. They have been out of jail 151 times since May 2008. Seems that the brothers are treating Tihar jail as a hotel paid for by the taxpayer. The brothers are sons of a UP politician. Manu Sharma, the son of a Haryana politician, who is serving life for the murder of Jessica Lall, let out for 3 days to attend his brother's wedding. The putrid slime Rathore, who first molested and then drove a teenage girl to suicide, was jailed for a derisory 1 year and let out after serving a just 6 months. It is obvious that politicians, police, and civil servants can commit the most heinous crime and escape punishment. Parole comes at the end of a sentence for good behavior and showing remorse and not at the beginning and certainly not for attending a weeding. Judges are complicit for turning justice into travesty. So why award Rs 1 billion for defamation when there is no izzat to defend.
