I've been following the news bytes on the issue, not because it's juicy gossip but it portends a very, very sad situation. I get the impression that the laws of my country are applied differently to different people! Shorn of all the niceties, if you form part of the well healed society, the laws are gonna be applied gently and God forbid, if you're from among the plebeians - as in the days of the ancient Roman empire - they'll come down upon you like a ton of bricks!
And what I felt surprised and sad about the whole affair was that the people whom I thought were 'educated' were supporting the disgusting disparity.
What had transpired between Preity and Ness does not require rocket science to analyse and come up with an answer. It's a plain case of love having gone sour and the two individuals were finding it extremely difficult to continue with their joint business venture of co-owning the King's Punjab XI in the Indian Premier League Cricket as their personal lives were coming in the way. The bubble just burst this time because they couldn't win the cup in the final........ No one minds that because, in life, such things are common. I can assure you that these two will also find a solution to their seemingly problematic personal lives and they should be given their space and time to arrive at that point.
But what bothers me is the way the case has gone about since the filing of the FIR by the lady. Why has the gentleman not been questioned? In a normal case, by now, the accused would have made many 'chukkers' to the concerned investigation agency with the rider that he/she should remain within its precincts. Why is it then different for Ness Wadia? Is it because he's from an influential family? And why did Preity Zinta have to go abroad soon after filing the complaint if there wasn't any compelling reason?
Sad!
Tailpiece.
Or are the players orchestrating for time and a pantomime is being played out to bring about an out-of-court settlement and persuade the lady to retrieve her complaint? If in the affirmative, is it legally possible?
