It happened when I was in the first year of my college. It was the month of August; there was extreme zest in the Stephens College as student union elections are due to held in mid of October. The campaign has already begun with full flow. Everybody in the college is having a very good time in campaigning for their candidate. The post of president is as usual has its significance and though lots of external powers are also active in the college. The competition for the post of president is between the two guys paradoxically different to each other. One of them is Nick a student of final year of bachelor of commerce. Extremely sincere in his studies and a very sympathetic, extrovert and jovial person. On the other hand Samuel Jackson alias Sam is a student of third year bachelor of arts from last two years. He is a ruthless and introvert person. Sam is currently the vice president of student union but students are not pleased with his oppressive behavior. Sam is backed up by the external powers that want to misuse the post of president for their sake. Any external force does not back up Nick but the students of the
college are
behind him, as they desperately need a good leader. Sam was sensing
that to beat
his rival Nick in the elections is going to be a very tough job for
him. To
convince students Sam called them for his speech in the premises of
the college.
He addressed the students which are few in numbers .He just repeat
the same old
his bullshit of fake promises and as a result students soon start to
disperse.
Samuel sensing the futility of his words stopped half way. Now Sam
knows that Nick picked up the last nerve of Sam imperceptibly. Sam saw the girl
Adrena
whom he adores a lot campaigning for Nick. Now Samuel is having a grudge
against
Nick as he finds Adrena treating Nick with wild adulation in his embrace.
He got There is still a one and half month to go for the voting. And according
to the
doctors Nick would be able to go and cast his vote on his legs. Nick
is
recovering well and everything is going in right directions. It\'s
more than a month
now and everything is moving nicely before the college authorities
announced a HALF WAY: HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A KIT- KAT There has been a strong agitation in the college as everybody is penitent for Nick and wants to know why his nomination is cancelled. The principal of the college told the students that Nick is HIV positive and he himself doesn\'t want to take part in the elections. Everybody knows that Nick is not that kind of person so that he indulges
himself in some vulgar activities and gets that virus. One of Nick\'s
friends Mark;
final year student of medicines reveals an imperceptible point. He
told Nick
that if he was HIV positive then his wounds couldn\'t be healed as
quickly as they Nick\'s case has gained immense popularity and media is covering each
and every
aspect of that. Police is also under immense pressure to solve this
case very
quickly. Police find only one suspicious person, the doctor under whom
Nick was Newm called his friend JamE a private detective and part time lawyer.
Newm
knows that he is the person who can save him and understand his agony.
JamE had the
experience of solving such a case against a doctor of improper treatment.
JamE Court Scene - I Prosecution was well prepared with the case and they start to prove
Newm
guilty. JamE needs more time to fully investigate the case for that
he has to prove
something in favor of his client. So he question the ward boy Alex;
who is the He shrugged and drawled after thinking \"it was 13th September
and it was… around 5 in evening\". JamE: I want
to call the nurse on duty on 13 September in
the court \"Permission granted,\" said the judge. The nurse
entered the court
without being aware of the earlier proceedings. JamE: Did you aware
of the fact
that the injection you are giving to Nick contain some kind of virus.
Please try
to remember it was on September 13th and Dr. Newm gave you the bottle
of Court Scene ends Anything can happen on next date so JamE starts his investigations
from the
very next day. Police has also got some time so they continued their
investigations in a new direction. JamE joined hands with police in
search of the real Court Scene - II JamE: I can\'t prove that Dr. Newm is innocent alone I want everyone
here to
believe that he is innocent. As when this started, prosecution tried
to show that
Newm is the accused in this case but they were unable to provide the
court some JamE: Forgetting that humblest experience for the mean time, how will you rate Dr. Newm. Nick: No doubt about that he is an intelligent and a caring doctor.
He always
tells me about my condition and the treatment without using jargon
to made me JamE: Fair enough now I want to flash the record of the patients admitted
to
the Sandy Beach Hospital in last six months .A total of 531 patients
admitted to
the hospital and out of these 29 a substantial number were found to
be HIV We all are very much aware of the fact the disease Nick has is transferred with these means. Judge: We have heard a lot in this case but never able to find a rigid witness. It would be very harsh if I punish somebody in this case except the ones found in the racket. Jam E has provided us with some facts, which seems to be genuine. I would not order to run a separate case for those accused, as I don\'t want any delay in their punishment. My judgement would look harsh for some law experts but according to me its not enough too. The accused should be injected with the all the same virus or even the worsen one. Nick: Wait a minute judge, please don\'t do this, as I cannot suffer
any more
agony. As you and other people might not be aware that one of the accomplices
is
in my relation. He is my uncle who has got heart attack when he came
to know Judge: I am bewildering what should I say now. O.K I will punish your
uncle
once he will recover and then ask him what would be the perfect punishment
for
him. For other accused the punishment will remains the same even if
they don\'t Court Scene ends Nick\'s uncle did not last long as he got infection after the cardiac
surgery.
Nick won the elections without any contest as the other candidate Sam
withdraws
his nomination .Sam realized his mistakes as his father faced so much This was the last election that held in the St.Stephens College. Adrena married Nick after a year and they adopted two children and lived happily thereafter. P.S. It\'s a true horrible fact that in our country medical accessories
(syringes, needles, and blades) are repackaged and reused. |
