The examples you cited says a lot about how slow the justice system is. I want Kasab's Chapter to end as soon as possible so that the families of those affected could feel a sense of closure.

Your opinion is noteworthy. If only every Indian would see every situation from a logical point of view, would there be a change considerable. But that's what the problem is. The topic of India trying to be a better, more reasonable country is subject to terms and conditions involving lots of ifs and buts. And as of now, that's all there is. Kasab's death has been announced and shall be executed. People who say "Give me those 16 Crore" should be given a condition. "I'll give you 16 Crore for your safety, but also with an assurity that you will be hanged sooner or later."

i am o.k with it. 3 years passed, but nothing has been happened with kasab. everyone has seen he is accountable for all thing. i hope we will get better result about kasab. we have to destroy root of terrorism. many innocent people has been killed during attack. and our legal system is poor.

It's a well written article and I.agree that rhetorics are not a solution. The law cannot follow a course which is not prescribed in the statutes. Having said that I believe that we shud have laws to expedite disposal of such cases where we have a tangible evidence to prove the guilt of the accused like the cc camera video in Kasabs case

Hello
its definitely a rational take on the kasab situation. The ideas presented are unintuitive yet make sense on a second thought. its commendable how you have chosen to write against the general public sentiment and yet managed to make a convincing case
good job!

@Parul : Thanks. I see that you call for 'expedite disposal' but like I said before it is already taking place. Remember it is a huge case. According to some newsreports, the chargesheet is more than 10000 pages long. Expediting it any further shall erode the fairness of the trial. It is logical that anybody accused of 160 murders and faced with a 10000 page long chargesheet is going to take time to prepare his defense, denying him that time would be denying him a fair trial in my opinion.

@Sanchita: Thanks for your kind words. I was upset by the general sentiment (as reflected on FB) on 26 Nov. That is the reason I decide to write this to show people, that if they put their emotions aside for a minute and think logically, the progress in the case does not seem too preposterous after all. Glad to know that I succeeded, atleast a little...

i do not agree wd the last lines of the above written article.You say the system needs to consider humane and reasonable systems to punish such people.Humane treatments shall be given only to those commiting non criminal offences.terrorism goes beyond humane principles and logic...
also,a fair trial has already taken place..we as a nation have tolerated far beyond fair means..kasab should be hanged without any further dilly dallying.the limit of inaction of the government and tolerance of the people has been reached.

Hello Akshay!
What exactly do you mean by "non-criminal offences"?? I agree with you that the criminals need to be punished. However, the only way to ascertain if someone is a criminal is by giving him a fair trial and appellate process. That is all that I am asking for. Let us give everyone a fair trial...
