Lower Courts often deliver questionable verdicts. There isn't any transparent mechanism for reviewing judges. But, that aside, the biggest problem as to be the slow pace at which it works. PIL's are being misused by a certain group of publicity seeking individuals. I read in the newspapers, that the judge had found the Gere-Shilpa kissing tape highly sexually erotic! If something like that gets him hard, something is seriously wrong with him. That act was probably indecent, but was not obscene. A distinction must be made between the two. For eg. shouting at a person is indecent, but not obscene. Indian Judiciary is also far from perfect. Lower Courts often deliver questionable verdicts.

You can buy a postcard and pen down your complaint and post it in your nearest post office. That's it. It's as simple as that. No wonder people are taking advantage of this for their own publicity. The Shilpa-Gere case demonstrates the narrow-mindedness of the people, as does the case against the kissing scene in Dhoom 2. Honestly, what's wrong with all these people? Sure a lot of people misuse PILs. But there are many more who use these for the greater good. An example of this could be the Jessica Lal case. It was reopened on the basis of a PIL. I totally agree with you that the first this India needs right now is faster justice. And yes, the people do need to grow up. PILs can be written on a plain simple postcard.

Don’t we have a backlog of a few hundred thousand cases, with each case taking on an average 10 to 15 years to clear? Or maybe I am just starting to see the reasons why all cases take 10+ years to clear, because the courts keep accepting cases like these, and drifting away from their main goal of getting justice for the needy.</blockquote> Good question. I'll tell you something from the heart. I've given up on the world. I'm surrounded by idiots, and almost everyone's going to hell, including this world. If my hope in the world (or specifically in this one part of the world) hadn't died, I would have done my bit to help make the world a better place. And that's probably one of the biggest reasons I have for not posting about it. The only thing I have to say to these people is... GROW UP! And secondly I don't understand the idea about a PIL (Public Interest Litigation). If the public had a problem with something, they'd file a complaint themselves. I'm not sure how PILs work, but in my opinion, to be able to file a PIL, they should require the signatures of at least 20 people on the thing.
