Sadhguru many of my colleagues and I are soon gonna begin our professional
careers so there may be occasions in the in the course of a career where we are
confronted with modern moral dilemmas for example a situation where you are
required to defend someone you know is guilty or a situation where you have to
prosecute someone you know is innocent now the law says that every accused is
entitled to an attorney and the right to a fair trial now if I decide to define
this particular accused individual and I define and I defend him successfully
then should I be pleased with the acquittal or should I regret the the
fact that the victim has been has not received justice so how do i reconcile
this conflict between my conscience and my professional obligations 3 your
profession is a constitutional obligation you have no business to see
what is right and wrong your business is just to interpret the Constitution for
the well-being of the citizen who comes to you crime has commited maybe but
sometimes the crimes are so heinous then the human question will come up should I
save this guy at all so this is not a don't make this into
your moral dilemma this is a professional thing where you must decide
are you fulfilling your constitutional responsibilities or no this is not for
you to take a moral stand ok this guy has done something that I don't like so
let him hang this is not for you to decide your business is just to
interpret the law so that everybody gets a fair this thing this one's happened
can I tell you - this happened Shankaran Pillai was accused of murder
accused of murder so he went on pleading not guilty not guilty not guilty after
four years when the case was nearly coming to a close
suddenly he said okay I will plead guilty so the judge asked all these four
years whatever we said you went on saying not guilty now you are saying
guilty what is this he said at that time I had not heard the evidence so when
somebody commits a crime of course he tries to save his skin all right and
when somebody commits a crime it's not for everybody to take a call right now
it's happening on the social media and even in the television channels okay
hanging castrating do these do that if you go by this then lynching is what you
will do in the end why go to the court let's Lynch them when we see they have
done something wrong because when something really terrible
happens in front of you or you come to know it's happened it's not just robbery
some terrible things are being done all right really terrible things happen the
crowd will want to lynch that guy even regular people so responsible people in
the country are uttering these words I would like to be the hangman for this
guy so why they are saying this is yes your humanity burns when you see such
things happening but you as a lawyer your business is just to interpret the
law to stay within the framework of the Constitution it's not for you because
you know these guys committed the crime it's not for you to take a gun and shoot
that guy in the court that's not your business that should happen through due
process if we even if it looks unjust what is unjust is the length of time
that these legal procedures are taking if we want justice to be reasonable and
human or humane it's very important that has to be reduced this time is killing
people and this time is making people do extrajudicial stuff simply because the
amount of time it's taking this has to change so I mean it was an extremely
insightful explanation and you talked about why why certain mobs why certain
individuals take law in their own hands maybe the judicial delays may be the
time-consuming process oh just one clarification an idea is
that while the absence of adequate legal infrastructure might propel them to do
such acts are such acts justified despite the inadequate legal
infrastructure that's one I thought I made that extremely clear in the
previous answer anything outside the framework of law the moment you think
it's all right however nice and right it may look to
you then you're breaking the nation made me as a lawyer or as a citizen I even as
a citizen but at the same time when there is no law when the law is cued in
somebody else's favor I know I will not get justice something terrible happens
to me you cannot stop this human being from doing it so it is both ways is it
correct it is definitely not corrected nobody has the right to do it but you
cannot use that position and keep on keeping people in a state of injustice
they will act in their own way so legal reforms need to happen rapidly otherwise
you will see things going people taking it in their own hands thank you for the
awesome
you
