Answer 1

Life will always try to knock you down one way or another, but with self determination and focus you can stand right back up again. How a person will achieve this state depends on their thought process and the way in which they are able to put across their opinions.

‘Justice delayed is justice denied’ – a much quoted line the world over. As I look at the variety of criminal cases involving high profile people, I see that they tend to move quickly and gain positive results, mostly in the favour of the defendant. Recently, the powerful banker Mr Dominique Struass Kahn was involved in allegations that led to his public demise. Only a few weeks back, it looked like an open and shut case, but since then a steadily falling house of cards has been unravelling and the alleged victim in this case has been weakened, perhaps in some small part by the sheer force of the powerful who she spoke out against. Nobody is bothered or sheds a tear when an ordinary person comes under the scanner and is convicted, falsely or not. But when powerful politicians or other influential people come under the scanner, rules are bent and a way out is found to safeguard their interests.

Answer 2

Justice delayed is justice denied' is an old saying. It means that if timely justice is not provided to the sufferer, it loses it importance and violates human rights. The Indian judicial system still lives in old age. It has been observed that a number of cases are pending in courts for a very long time.
