WALK FREE

“Let a hundred guilty be acquitted but one innocent shouldn’t be convicted” this maxim said by English jurist William Blackstone has become the guiding, more like a core principle of the judiciary system. Today society is witnessing a trend of culprits and hooligans walking freely which makes everyone rethink this statement. The inefficiency of judiciary systems to deliver justice on time is making people dread-filled and unsafe. The idiom “Walk Free” just represents the inefficiency of our judiciary system. To leave the court of law without being punished or sent to prison is simply disrespectful to innocent people of that country. Crime is something that should be tackled lawfully. 

Delayed proceedings and impending results are an open invite to the lawbreakers, child traffickers for violating the innocent. Nowadays people who have some internal connection or are rich, they just manage to walk free. There have been various cases in which victims who registered a complaint against culprits got burned alive or murdered by those same culprits after they got released on bail. If criminals will walk free, then innocents will suffer. The guilty one should get punished as soon as possible and should not be released until they get their punishment. 

Law should be taken seriously, and it is our responsibility to stop this “Walk Free” tradition. It should be remembered that law is something that works as a mirror between innocents and culprits. The background of criminal should never matter, either they are some gangster or whatever law is one for all.
