Earlier in one of our blogs we had expressed our Faith in our judiciary when the court had convicted and punished two M.PS. This was a landmark judgement in the Indian history after independence wherein for the first time the action was taken against the guilty parliamentarians.
This faith of ours was doubled when we read the news that the accused in the Jessica Lall murder case has been finally brought to justice and convicted by the High Court.This case, where the accused belonging to some high profile society was once acquitted by the lower court. The acquittal brought countrywide outrage and the people came on road to protest against the verdict of the court.
This nationwide protest forced the reopening of the case and the conviction of killer by the high court has again restored the people's faith in the judiciary. Once again it was proved that no one can escape the long arms of the justice, however big and influential one may be the, the guilty will have to pay for the crime.
One good thing that has come out of this incidence is that the people have now realised the strength in the unity and what the mass agitation for the right cause can do. The credit for bringing the culprits to justice mainly goes to the relentless struggle of the people and also equally to the persistent efforts of the Jessica Lall's family members.One can just image to what tremendous pressure and the ordeal through which this family had to go during all these years esp. when the accused were from very influential family.It really requires great courage and determinations to stand against all these odds.
With the verdict of the high court, the seven year long pending case has now been put to rest. We can now make some changes in the saying "Justice delayed is Justice denied" and can proudly say that "Justice may be delayed but it will never be denied"
