Kasab Trial.Letter to Editor sent on 27 Nov10.

Indian Judicial System.
Sir , 
Two years back we had the worst terrorist attack in our countries young history. With a ready precedent available we followed the example of U S A and  we started calling it 26/11 on the lines of 9/11. 
We were fortunate that , due to supreme sacrifice and gallantry of PSI Tukaram Omble we were successful in capturing one of the terrorist.His name was Ajmal Kasab .We were also fortunate that we had a video recording  clearly showing him in the dasterdaly act of emptying his machine gun on innocent civilians .Government of India and the powers that be took a decision to show and prove to the world how conscience of human rights were were and how impartial and fair was our judicial system.Kasab was provided the best of medical care , best of security , was fed whatever food he wanted all and every comfort was given to him . He was provided legal counsel at govt expense and fair trial conducted . Based on the evidence the Judge had no hesitation in passing the judgement of guilty and awarding death sentence . So far so good . We had shown the world what we had intended . Our stand was appreciated . 
However what has been happening after completion of the trial and the way his appeal is progressing has sadly made Government of India and Indian Judiciary a laughing stock in the world.And the loudest laughter is heard in Pakistan .
PM Velankar,Nagpur.
