    COURTS ARE GIVING BAILS TO SUCH PEOPLE WHO ARE HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL. FOR SUCH KIND OF PEOPLE LOKAUKTA IS THE PROPER SOLUTION. COURTS YOU GIVE SOME BRIBE TO JUDGES OR SEND SOME MONEY TO JUDGES HOMES,THE BAIL IS GRANTED. DURING HEARING SOMETHING ELSE IN THE COURTS AND AFTER THE JUDGE GOES HOME, THE JUDGEMENT IS CHANGED AFTER NOTE BUNDLES ARE SHOWN. THIS IS OUR LAW AT PRESENT. NO SYSTEM. EVERYTHING IS DEPENDED ON MONEY. JUDGES SHOULD COME UNDER LOKPAL BILL AND IMMEDIATELY IT SHOULD BE ENFORCED.
