Judicial Custody Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Judicial Custody
Thursday,5th September 2019

Where is the place?
for economic offenders?
who have siphoned poor men's money!
and looted the country

such people deserve no sympathy
their property should be confiscated principally
the trial should be finished very fast
and the prison term should be pronounced at last

they have taken people for granted
and always wanted
the luxury at their feet
and never thought to meet people's eye

Indian judiciary is impartial
yet the politicians should be treated like ordinary individuals
the doors should not be opened for criminals at midnight
when they expect immediate judicial promptness

better late than never
the justice shall be delivered later
the message is very clear
you shall always fear judiciary for wrongdoing

Hasmukh Mehta
