Case Study !!!

Three high profile cases were the centre of attention yesterday.All of them have been in news for quite some time now.It must have come as a big relief for Sanjay Dutt fans and well wishers that he has been aquitted of TADA related charges and will be prosecuted only under the milder Arms Act.The case has carried on for over thirteen years and this in itself is a scathing comment on the state of crime investigation and judicial proceedings.Prolonged delay has become the norm as far as court cases are concerned.
In the Nitish Katara murder case ,things have finally started moving with the coming of prime witness Bharati Yadav.She has an ethical dilemma in front of her,whether she takes a stand against her brother or betrays a person who lost his life just because she loved him.I hope that she tells the truth but we all know that she will only say what she has been doctored to say.No one doubts that Vikas Yadav and his henchmen killed Nitish Katara but in the end he may walk scotfree because of shoddy investigation,hostile witnesses and money power.
Finally Shibu Soren has created history by becoming the first sittting Union Minister to be convicted on murder charges.Manmhohan Singh`s clean image gets cleaned up every now and then by his cabinet colleagues .Though the conviction does prove that the wheels of law move very slowly but it does move.

Yes, this week will be remembered in Indian judicial history for those long due cases, you mentioned. In case of Sanjay Dutt's judgement, after 13 long years an expected verdict has come out. But with a few debatable remarks.Although his fans will be happy about it, but the reactions of the family members of those who died in that serial blasts should also be respected, even if he was not directly involved.
Incase of Nitish Katara murder, well, his lover Bharati could not stand a bold step.Personally, I do not support her stand on the case, what ever may be the pressure she is facing.If she really loved him, I doubt whether she will be able to live rest of her life with a stable mind.
And, finally, Mr. Sibu Suren...that gentleman(?) has received what he is eligible for. But, only time will tell if our judicial system will be able to show its true colour in this case!!..Long way to go. I hope Mr. Manmohan Singh will be relieved now to send this fellow off his government.
