Introduction
The British government, without doubt, has been instrumental in setting up various structures
to exploit Indian natives in order to create the British Empire. The institutions developed by
the British government include police, legal, rail, postal, telecommunications, West education
etc. Both of these institutions have certainly been designed to suit their corporate interests.
Such institutions must be developed to administer and mentally and physically curb
indigenous people in order to colonise every other nation. The police system helped the
British monarch physically limit the constitutional rights of ordinary citizens and infringe
them. In the other hand, the skewed justice system has been used to create society among the
indigenous peoples.

The indigenous people claimed that the British justice system had been developed to better
the lives of the masses so that they could enjoy a dignified life and dignity for themselves.
E.M. published A Passage to India. Forster has an essential role in the unequivocal and equal
portrayal in British rule's political partisan judicial structure. The plot of the novel is based on
important people, among them Dr. Aziz, Mrs. Adela Quested, Cyril Fielding, Mr. Turton, Mr.
Godbole and Ralph Moore. The storey is about the artist. The novel begins with
Chandrapore's presentation in the British era. The novel features Miss Adela and Mrs. Moore.

Miss Adela is comes to India to marry Ronny Heaslop, a lawyer. At the court of
Chandrapore. Mrs. Moore encounters Dr. Aziz over time and they are now close friends.
They intend to visit Marabar Hills, being interested to know India. The expedition is indeed
to some degree a fruitful trip but a strange incident takes place on the last hour of the journey
in the Marabar cave. Not only Dr. Aziz, but all the significant characters were influenced by
the enigmatic incident. In the Chandrapore courts, Dr Aziz, accused of having angry and
assaulted Miss Adela, is released from the court with a statement from Miss Adela who sues
him. Dr. Aziz changes his attitude to British governor and his mindset absolutely.

A Scarce Judicial Picture

The novel features a preferred judicial system that is the victim of Dr. Aziz. The novel takes
away the false impression that the coloniser has generated in the judiciary. The UK judiciary
is expected to deliver justice to ordinary citizens in a rational and impartial manner. Ronny
says, 'I'm here to work, mind, the International Journal of Applied Science to force this awful
country into reality. The situation is clear in Ronnys comment. I'm not a labour missionary or
an abstract poetic guy of feeling. I'm just a civil agent...." The key goal is to establish a non-
crime and trial state for everyone. However the unjust prosecution of Dr Aziz scatters the
bogus doctrine. While Dr. Aziz doesn't commit a crime, he is still interested in the bogus case
of the violence. Another part about Miss Adela's retirement is that he was released. It's not
hard to picture Dr. Aziz's life until Adela wants the case out.

Loss of Investigating Agency

If a court has an independent investment firm to conduct any prosecution, it will achieve a
high degree of equitable and fair justice. Justice can be done in some manner without the
involvement of an efficient investment organisation. When a foreign government controls
another country, it becomes harder to get justice. In Dr. Aziz's scenario, there may be a
shortage of an unbiased investment firm. No investment body investigates Dr. Aziz's
situation. The only declaration by Miss Adela is reported to prove Dr. Aziz guilty. Her
announcement is only evidence of his crime. Even the judge would not seek to establish any
single body comprised of an Indian and a British officer. In this terrible and unpredictable
situation, no law is possible, particularly for any Indian, very easily to consider.

Manipulation of Truth and Evidence

The book also reveals how the evidence and reality are treated behind the locked doors.
Except Miss Adela and Mrs. Moore the British people may go beyond their limit to prove Dr.
Aziz guilty in the wrong event. They think the situation has nothing to do with wrong and
right, with justice and inequality and with honesty and unfairness. Their worldview relies on
how the indigenous people of India should be managed and dominated by all means, both fair
and unjust. Ronny makes the situation very clear when he tells his mom that I'm out here, I
guess, to work to push this awful country. I'm not a Labor missionary, or a blurry,
sentimentally friendly literary guy. When they read this, they find beyond hesitation that all
but Mr. Fielding convince Miss Adela to say what they wish to demonstrate, and every
member of the British community is persuaded.

But the condition and the situation are so created that it accepts its thoughts and decides to
lodge Dr. Aziz, who loves her from the depth of his heart. The fact that the Britons have little
faith in delivering a truth-based justice can be seen by such a horrible event. They only use
judicial machinery to colonise Indians and their psychology.
Discrimination on The Basis Of Equality
The first rationale of every legal system in the world is fair representation before the judge.
How should anyone be viewed fairly and without discrimination if equality is not defined.
Before the court system developed by the British Raj there is no definition of the right to
freedom. The injustice is obvious right from the outset of the arrest of Dr Aziz. He has no
justification for his detention when he is arrested. The senior official of the inspector who
arrests him is arrested by plain order. The case illustrates that average citizens are not entitled
to freedom and may be prosecuted for no reason at all.

Constitutional Infringement Rights

Human rights abuse A passage to India reflects even the lack of Indian civil rights. The news
reveals that Indians have the equal judiciary system in part, but the police apparatus still
infringes their civil rights. Dr Aziz is detained by police without an arrest warrant before he
enters the train station. Cyril Fielding, the close friend of Dr. Aziz, questions the police about
the reason of the detention, refuses the police respond to the question and brings Dr. Aziz
behind bars. The police inspector said after Dr. Aziz's arrest: "Sir, forgive me, in such clear
conditions no warrant is appropriate. In addition, where a plea is submitted to the judge Dr
Aziz does not even have the right to bail. The condition is clear from this incident that his
trial in the British court would not be fair. It is impossible to presume Dr Aziz from the
British court to be equally and fairly neutral if both the police and the court limit his
fundamental human rights. Over time, all these unethical practises became visible in the
novel during Dr. Aziz's trial.

Manipulation of Witnesses
In the judicial proceedings, eye witnesses play a vital part. For Dr. Aziz, Mrs. Moore can by
her comments, play a significant part in acquitting Aziz. Her son called Ronny Heaslop
returned her to England and was also a judge in the court where Dr. Aziz's case was brought.
Mrs. Moore is really conscious that Dr. Aziz has not attempted to annoy Miss Adela and to
rape her. She is convinced to state against Dr. Aziz in order to show him guilty, but before he
intends to leave the county she does not surrender. "There is a trail going on in the meantime,
though, and most of us are mindful that we'd better enter and help ourselves along, rather
than being nasty," said Ronny Heaslop. Can you chat in a jury box like that? ”
Conclusion
It can be said that 'A Passage to India' is a remarkable literary work that looks at all facets of
colonialism that effectively founded the colonists of India. This novel also outlines the
conditions under which the Indian subcontinent dominates the social, economic and political
sphere. The novel clearly indicates that the judges' position in building the British Empire
was highly significant. It would have been difficult for the British to govern the world
without influencing and exploiting the justice system mechanism. The only way they
managed to create the British Empire was by judicial process. In the fake and abused case of
the novelist Dr. Aziz, the increasing anomalies in the judicial system are evident. This novel
is a quest to change Aziz's understanding of the British Rule in India.
