Last week a Mohali court issued an arrest warrant against a political person for allegedly having made provocative tweets against a Chief Minister. But late in the night the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed that no action be taken against the person. Let us not go into the merit or otherwise of the case but it was heartening to read that although places of worships are closed at night but the temple of justice gets opened for certain class of people.
This is not a stray incident but has happened in the past decades too and may occur in the future also. We wish that the courts would burn the mid-night oil for the citizens and clear the crores of pending cases. This would result in justice either not denied or delayed to thousands of innocent people who are languishing in prisons and others who are for years fighting civil, corporate and other cases.
