It is regrettable that the laws have been manipulated to favour the rich who commit criminal offences but get light sentences while the common people that engage in petty stealing end up spending long years behind bars. Lawyers have perfected many ways of evading justice through frivolous injunctions.
Lawyers file such motions for all sorts of vexatious issues. Lawyers usually apply such methods, nowadays frequent boycotts and strikes, to stall court processes and that is a crude abuse of court process. Corruption has assumed a dangerous dimension among the court personnel of district judiciary to the essence that lawyers seek injunction to prevent law enforcement agents from arresting or prosecuting suspected criminals. Is there anyone take notice of this manifest subversion of the rule of law, chronic corruption, abuse of professional ethics and moral bankruptcy in our district courts?
