A very shocking case has come to light from Jhansi in Bihar, which has questioned the police investigation process and the credibility of the justice system. Four people were jailed here 17 years ago on the charge of murder, but now the alleged deceased person has been found in a suspicious condition on the alive road. This incident exposes not only the negligence of the police but also the judicial decisions called ‘blind law’.
17 year old dispute
The entire case is of 2007 when a person named Nathuni Pal lodged a police complaint after his disappearance. The family members were alleging that Nathuni’s uncle and three cousins together killed him and grabbed his land. During the hearing of the case, one of the accused was acquitted, while Nathuni’s uncle and three cousins were sent to jail.
17 years passed between family complaints and police action, but no detection of Nathuni was found. The case took the form of a major controversial legal battle over time.
Nathuni’s sudden meet
On 6 January 2025, a police patrol team reached Jhansi area and reached him as a Nathuni Pal. In the initial interrogation, he told that he came to Jhansi some time ago and lives alone. Nathuni also told that his parents were dead and his wife had left him. The most surprising thing was that he admitted that he had left his village about 17 years ago and went away somewhere.
Police response and next step
The police have conducted a medical examination to confirm Nathuni’s alive and have also recorded statements of family members. Along with this, Nathuni is being questioned to find out where and how he has been in the last 17 years. The police is preparing to present the entire report of the case in the court.
Police sources said that at present, three accused out on bail from jail in the case are also aware of this new situation. Since Nathuni’s uncle is no longer in this world, what will be the effect on the legal process in this matter, it will be clear in the coming time.
‘Blind law’ or big police lapse?
The case has again emphasized the discussion of ‘blind law’ in Bihar. In such cases, innocent people are jailed due to full investigation and fast track decisions of evidence. This incident is a living example that sometimes there can be disturbances not only in the investigation, but also in the courts.
Many times, due to pressure, caste or political influence in the society, justice is delayed or wrong decisions. Even in this case, not knowing that Nathuni’s alive for 17 years is not known, the serious negligence of the police investigation shows.
Family response
Family members have not yet given any detailed response to this whole incident, but it is certain that Nathuni’s alive has led to a great confusion and social stress for them. Also, those who were in jail will also worry about their future in this new situation.
Need for judiciary and reform
This case is not only an example of the weakness of the police or local administration of Bihar, but underlines the need to improve the processes of the judiciary across the country. On the one hand, while the prosecution has to try to provide justice to the culprits, on the other hand it is also the responsibility of the judiciary to save the innocent from being trapped.
In such cases rapid investigation, factual evidence gathering and technical resources should be used to make the judicial process more transparent and fair. Also, the police department will have to improve its investigation system so that such lapses can be avoided in future.
conclusion
This 17 -year -old case of Jhansi has become a historical example that teaches us that it is not only enough to make the law and order strict, but also has transparency, fairness and responsibility in it. Until the investigation is complete and the facts are not revealed, it can not be considered justice to prove to be guilty. Due to Nathuni being alive, the families of the jailed people have been relieved, but this should also find answers to the questions arising on the police and justice system.
The entire country will keep an eye on further investigation and court decision of the entire case, as the matter explains the weakens and improvement of the Indian justice system.
