Contemning The Law!
How The Cop Laxman Zaman Got Away With Bigamy!!

©P.J. Mascarenhas, Bombay. Monday, 1st December 2003.

Another instance of the cockeyed application of justice has come up. Ashwin Naik's wife committed adultery with Laxman Zaman, a cop. But worse, she went to court and married this man, even while her marriage to the incarcerated Ashwin Naik continued undissolved - she did not even file for divorce, let alone get a divorce. And, no wonder in extra-ordinary India, the court registered her bigamous "marriage"!

When Ashwin Naik learnt of this betrayal, he ordered his boys to murder his wife. Now the court has convicted her murderers. This is Indian justice.

I have no complaint against the conviction. I only ask: What of Zaman? What of the Bandra Court officials who registered his and Neeta Naik's bigamous "marriage", besides thousands of others? When is this scam going to be busted? Is the magistrate blind? Why has he not demanded an investigation of this scam? Why has he not demanded the trial of Zaman?

Or is the law different for cops and ordinary citizens?
