Who decided police is above the law ? ..Not me nor you.. WHO ?
Police are not above the law, according to the Constitution Of India ... but the Judges everyday condone cops in courts for various crimes, in Magistrates Court, Sessions Courts, High Courts and the Supreme court... even in a high profile case like Jessica Lal case, the cops are no more on the radar of the courts...for a short time, they made some noises about taking action against the police officers.I have a first hand experience, in the Mumbai Sessions court and High court...of the Judges refusing to take action against police officers, for which I complained to the CJ Supreme Court ( full letter appears on my website www.ikchhugani.com/cjapex.htm ).After this favourable treatment by the Judges for years, the police feel and have decided, they are very much above the law. Even Sr Police officals in Mumbai, with whom I have argued this point, because of my arrest in a bogus case, blatantly say "Law is for the civilians, we are there to see others follow the law and there are no laws applicable to Police"
Regarding enquiries instituted, in the case, which has given a clean chit to the erring police officals, they say proudly "Ek vardiwala doosre vardiwale ke khilaf report nahin deta"...So, in brief, it is the Courts that have, effectively decided that the Police are above the law and take action only, when there is a hue and cry in some high profile case... at other times one Judge pass the buck to another judge and the 2nd judge passes it to the 3rd, till the complainanant gets tired of chasing the courts. If the courts seriously take action everytime the cop commits a crime, 90% of the police force will be suspended. the Government will not be able to recruit new people, because the main incentive of joining the Police is, to make a lot of money, also with uniform and power gained harass the people. If the courts take action all these perks will be lost.

Nobody should be above the law. But the law should not be above justice either.
