The Solai dam tragedy: Court sets suspects free over ‘lack of commitment’ by DPP
I think the DPP office needs to bear this cross surely!!! Very unfortunate that a Public Prosecutor to be this lazy... Can the judge hold him in contempt for not appearing in court?
1. The Judiciary is a political institution that plays politics using law, procedures, technicalities, rituals and symbols as media of exchange
2. The executive is a political institution that uses the armed forces ministries, and county/local administration and her symbols for exchange
3. Legislature is a political institution using debate, posturing, alliances and partisan/bipartisan interest for exchange
These three institutions are meant to attain a single vision. Balance of power is for attaining a common vision.
Therefore, an executive based judicial body will make a political move corresponding to its situation, and the judiciary will reciprocate and make no fuss of it.
Case scenario:
Would you acquit the accused, compensate victims and encourage investment; or would you convict and sentence for life and deprive victims compensation?
A political decision must be made, and it may not be so acceptable at face value.
