Hats off to the Union Law Minister, Dr. Veerappa Moily for his mission and plan in 2009 to release two lakh under trial prisoners lanquishing in jail for years, in many cases exceeding the maximum sentence for the crime. His action has indeed resulted, as appeared in the press, in the release of 5.6 lakhs undertrials on bail, 77,940 discharged and 68,744 were convicted, who in all possibility could have been released for having already served their sentences as undertrial. A great job achieved by this silent and smooth but strong reformer in action in the true sense of the term!
Thanks to the outstanding coordination effectively executed by Dr. Veerappa Moily, he could accomplish the task which his predecessors could not dare do it in the last two decades.
We wish he gets an opportunity to implement some of the basic and drastic reforms he had envisaged in his last avatar as the Head of the latest Administrative Reforms Commission of India. By the way he appears to be the most qualified and most experienced politician and an administrator in the country still luckily occupying a coveted assignment for the present when you look at his 'General Profile' on the Law Ministry's web-site.
