Vivek Sood's Chaff and Grain, a groundbreaking book on a subject that is currently very hot off the press, explores the flaws in the Indian criminal justice system. According to the Supreme Court, a judge presiding over a trial in our criminal justice system makes decisions based on his sixth sense of what must have occurred during the occurrence and then puts his faith in God and good luck for reaching the "correct" decision. The author delves deeper into this controversial view of the criminal justice system by examining how the innocent are punished, how the police abuse their authority to make arrests, why bail is improperly denied, how investigations are managed, and how phoney encounters occur. aside from making out a case for imperative reforms, the author has redefined ?hate speech? and ?sedition?, which are much in the news, as offences for legislators and policymakers. The book also deals with some of the most controversial criminal cases that hit the headlines?Aarushi Talwar, Jessica Lal, Priyadarshini Mattoo, Telgi fake stamp paper scam and the Nirbhaya rape?making it a riveting read.
