Dear
Sir,
I
understand that as per the constitutional mandate given to honourable court,
there are certain matters which may not come under its direct purview. It is
highly possible that in these matters legislature would frame and amend laws as
and when the need arises. But the issue of rape, in my limited knowledge is
related to women’s life and dignity hence directly affects their Right against
exploitation.
With
so much debate and null result, steps taken by legislature and bureaucracy to
handle rape cases don’t seems to be apt as they all are reactive and for a
specific place, time, event etc. If find well within its constitutional
mandate and with due consultation with all stakeholders, honourable court may
frame certain guidelines to be followed, so that timely and appropriate justice
can be done in these cases.
Still
if this matter doesn’t belong to court’s consideration, I apologize for taking
away honourable court’s precious time.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Supreme Court of India,
New Delhi-110 001
Subject: Judicial process for
rape victims
Honourable Sir,
I would like to bring to your kind notice an issue which is much debated in public
and legislative domain. A recent unfortunate and inhumane incident of 16th
December where a 23 year old girl was raped and brutally beaten up with her
male friend in a moving bus has prompted me to write this letter to you. As I
said this issue of punishing culprits in these kinds of heinous crimes has
already been discussed and debated so much, hence it is now a high time that we
finally decide and prepare guidelines to be followed for the entire
investigation and justice system in rape cases across India.
Last
year’s (National Crime Records Bureau - 2011) figures about rape cases are
shocking; registered cases in Delhi were around 568 which factually mean three
females are raped in every two days. Madhya Pradesh reported more than 15,000
rape cases, I am sure there were many unreported cases as well. I am not a law
student but someone who is at the bottom of the social pyramid and feel
agitated when after 65 years of independence we have not been able to create a
system of fast track courts to give justice to the victims of a crime which is
even harsher than murder.
My
humble request to the honorable court is to kindly pay attention and intervene
in this matter on the same lines the honourable court intervene in matters
related to environment, dalits, tribals etc. It would set the ball rolling if
honourable court asks for opinions from central government, human rights
commission and other stakeholders regarding the punishment and time frame to
complete the investigation and trials in such cases.
While
I am writing this letter, National Human Rights Commission has already issued
notices to Union Home Secretary and the Delhi Police Commissioner regarding 16th
December case, but my concern is about the ecosystem prevailing about the women
security and justice system in rape cases.
I
am sure a stringent punishment and time bound disposal of cases would act as a
deterrent to criminals, resulting in decrease of such offences.
Kindly
look into the matter if falls under the purview of honourable Supreme Court.
Yours
faithfully
Yogesh
