Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trial of Shama Charan Pal: An Illustration of Village Life in Bengal, Howrah Sessions, November 1894 To rid themselves, and his unpopularity was due to the fact of his holding an onerous and unpaid office under Government. Could there be any circumstances in which the higher Police authorities should have been more on the alert to watch the conduct of their sub ordinates and guard against a miscarriage of justice? Let us see how they acted in the present instance. The sub-inspector, Rasik Lal Bose, who first investi gated the case, was suspended from his duties and superseded by other officers. It frequently happens in Bengal, that where one police-officer is investigating a case, some one is dissatisfied with the result of his inquiry, and persuades the higher Police authorities to depute a rival police-officer, who, for the sake of acquiring distinction, tries to reverse what has been done by his predecessor. This almost Invariably leads to a failure of justice. Frequently the Executive give rewards and punishments to police-officers before the result of the trial, and it sometimes happens that a man is suspended or dismissed who, as the final result shows, ought to have been promoted. In plain English the guilt of the accused is prejudged by the Executive before the trial takes place. In the case of Sham Pal, the Public Prosecutor discredited the evidence of Rasik Lal Bose because he had been suspended, and yet it is from his evidence that we can discover the gradual concoction of the plot which so nearly proved fatal to the prisoner.
