Shortcut to End Legal Terrorism

Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF), from its experience in counseling victims of “Legal Terrorism”, proposes the following short cut to end the legal terrorism. If followed properly, victims can surely come out of it.
1. Contact your nearest helpline or a helping activist nearest to you and give your case details in brief. Ask for the time and venue of the local meeting of that local chapter. You can also get the address here.


2. Join our Yahoo Group to get in touch with other members from various parts of India as well as abroad. However refrain from discussing your case in detail in the group forum. Rather use that group as a training ground, sharpen your arguments against police, lawyers, judges from the experience that other members share.


3. The Internet has all the information available as pertains to law and judgments. Visit Vakil No. 1 for various IPC Sections, Indian Kanoon, Yahoo Groups files section, for judgments and other legal templates. Also members are encouraged to browse the net and find some information for them and help others as well.


4. The official helplines are only first points of contacts which will enable members to network with others and get help. No detailed advice or permanent solutions can be provided on phone or email. Members are encouraged to meet more and more victims in their area and discuss strategies.


5. Best involvement is personal involvement as it is said, “The best way to solve a problem is to go through it”, if the members themselves are not motivated to go the extra mile, there is little that can be done for them.


6. Expecting volunteers to listen to their calls and long stories is uncalled for. Members are instead encouraged to use the internet to blog down the pain so that more and more people can know of the pain and become aware. The members have to remember that the volunteers are themselves ordinary citizens with their own personal issues to cater to and provide help however they can with the limited resources they have.


7. Finally fighting your own case isn’t enough. All these laws and their misuse exist primarily due to the social attitudes that women cannot be cruel. Till the time this attitude does not change, little relief can be sought in your own case too. Each and every member needs to protest against the gender-obsessed and biased laws and their lopsided implementation full of blunders and faults.

These are some points members need to take care of, so that they can themselves become better fighters to combat this virus of Legal Terrorism in the country.
