The author, Baldev Singh, a retired Indian banker and a senior citizen, narrates his experiences, which he came across in search of justice from different Indian courts in his book, ‘Repeated Rape of Justice’.
Baldev Singh was allotted a residential plot through a draw of lots by Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority, Jalandhar at Kapurthala. After getting the allotment letter, Baldev Singh made up his mind to construct his house and applied for the sanction of plan. However, when he did not pay bribe he was charged excessive interest on housing instalments. He approached the consumers Forum/State and National Commission/Supreme Court for merit decision under the consumer protection Act 1986, but was denied justice.
He shares his experiences with public and intelligentsia in his book in the larger interest of his countrymen about the justice delivery system of India. Baldev Singh divulged details of his dream of building his home and his journey from buying a plot and then going for sanction of building plan. His litigations at different forums, when he met delay in getting the building plan approved by the concerned authorities have been appended in the book.
He reveals how his troubles started with non-payment of bribe for sanction of building plan. His architect asked for Rs2,000 for his work and Rs2,000 for giving it to PUDA people for the service charges. Baldev Singh denied making the payment and subsequently had to indulge in a lengthy litigation for seeking justice from Indian judicial system.
Baldev Singh is his book rightly pointed out the difficulties people face in getting justice. He pointed out the flaws of Indian judicial system. He wrote to do justice is highest virtue any judge can claim and be proud of. But Indian history proves that they are in habit of doing injustice. Their centuries old social, religious structure based on caste-system itself is based on inequality and injustice. He pointed out that Indians are expert in making a hero out of zero or making a hero into zero. He stated that during the course of getting justice, he appeared and argued before over 30 judges of Indian High and Supreme Courts but none interrupted him while he argued before a court. But in one of his cases, the judge did cut him short and dictated the order already decided to the court reader. Baldev Singh argued that the judge took such prompt action because of defending the bastion, he (Baldev) was trying to expose.
In the end he pointed that there are other courts beyond Supreme Court. The court of people and above all there is The court of God. He stated that the book is for them.
About the judges of Indian courts he says that these perishable people consider them as more powerful when they misuse their authority. They are ignorant and arrogant.
