It's a rarely seen reversal of
judgment. I don't know if justice
has been done to the family of
Jessica Lal and that of Manu Sharma
but this must raise many questions
on the rationality and credibility
of our judiciary system. I am
writing so because it is complete
toppling of judgment by the same
system. Why did it happen? Whose
judgment should be taken as right
judgment? If the current judgment is
true and faithful what about the
dignity and justification of the
service of previous judgment giver?
The current judgment has been given
after intense hue and cry made by
media and public that fetched
attention of the judiciary and
ultimately led to find fully guilty
all those who were totally fair. How
could this happen? What would have
happened if the public and media had
not rang the alarm? Is our judiciary
becoming subjective?

It’s ok that Jessica Lal got justice
but will High Courts of India take
self notice of every miscarriage of
justice in the lower trial court the
way it has taken suo motu cognizance
of the media reports in this case? I
am afraid media is very biased.
Isn’t it a fact that media ignored
the news about rape and brutal
murder of Khailangi’s Priyanka
Bhotmange? This crime was also
committed before whole public. It is
good that judiciary has rectified
something which it did wrong in
first place in case of Jessica but
who will rectify the media which
still does not see beyond few miles
of its office in metro cities? Who
will bring the news about the
injustice to the notice of High
Courts from remote places where not
affluent like Jessica but poor girl
like Priyanka are raped and
butchered publicly? - Shiv

It
does not seem to be fair to say that
since the murderers of Ms Ghosh are
young, they should be absolved of
the crime they perpetrated. We
should certianly go and try to find
out the reasons as to why killing is
the only way to make money for some
people.
Nonetheless, if the way the murder
was committed was brutal, justice
would have to match it in intensity.
We cannot turn saint while doling
out justice. Let them be hanged if
they deserve to be hanged. - Kishore
