As the government gears up for a reboot, we look at a crucial pillar of democracy that is in dire need of reform- the judicial system. The issue of judicial reform was raked up once again as civil society outraged over the death of 84-yr-old activist Stan Swamy while in custody. As thousands of undertrials languish in jails waiting for justice to be served, we ask if justice delayed is justice denied? As cases of frivolous FIRs emerge, we ask if there is any accountability for those who file false charges? Is it time to re-look at draconian laws that infringe on an individual's fundamental rights and freedom? Should judicial reform be carried out by the judiciary or the executive? To know the answers to these questions and more, watch this week's episode of News Guru
