Excuse of law: State and its subject

As a student of law , I am aware that one cannot be excused taking excuse of being ignorant of Law. It is legal presumption that the people or the subjects of law are aware of the law in force in the state having legal sanctity. Even common man who has barely time to think beyond the box of their liability or struggle of Existence , is presumed to be aware of each and every public laws. If one is doing anything in contrary to law, even if unintentionally he is subjected to or has to face the consequence of the breach of law. But the protectors of the law or in better words guardian for the enforcement of law , who are well aware or well read of the laws in force , has given privilege to give excuse in certain cases. The sanctity of this legal principle cannot be questioned and i am very optimistic and faith in the Courts to apply this principle with juristic mind in view of the fact and circumstances of each case.

But I am really suspicious for the misuse of this principle by the executive like Police officials and their way to take the matter or deal with the matter without any application of judicial mind or in better words in absence of judicious approach which is very commonly unavailable in them. Even in most of the case , the executive also has privilege to get rid of their excessive exercise or pursuance of the matter, eve when it is not warranted.

My purpose of writing this is that I have seen the rigid approach of executive towards implementation of the law and privilege of them to get rid of it easily unless the aggrieved has power to take up the issue against them , which is very rare in common people, who has lots of worries for their existence as well.

Yesterday, a man was beaten by police official in metro merely because due to excessive crowd in metro rail , he was trying to came out of the gate of lady's compartment. Even few ladies was saying that he was not doing any nuisance . but the police official was adamant to give him punishment even though the act calls for mere a fine.

I don't know whether the beaten person was a common man having that much power to pursue so he can pursue it against that police official or not; but when the Law Enforcing Body acts like this...... How the legal sanctity be maintained ???
