Our Judiciary is not known for efficiency and fast-track approach. There are several cases wherein the culprits deserve capital punishment but are rarely even put behind bars. Contrary to this system, the case of Jignesh Shah is ironically efficient. The man has been caught not just once but thrice for the same case.
The curiosity is lit like fire when news follows that some investigating agency caught a guy who, on legal grounds, has the immunity from being detained since he has already been put to the criminal territory earlier and is out on bail. And if that isn't fishy enough, consider the fact that the guy is being pinned down in a case that is so intricately woven that no one man can be the mastermind and yet he has been detained thrice in two years at regular intervals. The reasons cited included non-cooperation which is again dubious since other agencies established that Shah has been fully cooperative. Well, if an agency detains a person for questioning then other government agencies also reserve the right to question him, if any. Jignesh Shah was unfairly arrested on 20th September for the charges of suppression of material facts. While it is worth pointing put that the FIR was filed way back in 2014 but no actions were seen so far as if the FIR ceased to exist for almost 2 years, then why all this and why now? This surely seems to be the working of vested interests in the background. The big question is how many times does Jignesh Shah have to be detained?
