We have full faith in the fairness of our judiciary. Not only that, we are even proud of its impartiality and sense of meting out justice to the oppressed, victimized or vandalized. Life would have been very harsh if we had not judicial and constitutional safeguards given to us. However, there can be instances when we feel that the court of law has not done justice to a particular case for one or the other reason. As people have become sensitive to militancy or rape related cases considering these as the most serious aberrations seeping into our society, they keep a close watch on the judgment passed by a court of law in such cases. It has to be reminded that there is nothing wrong or lacking in the law or in judicial dispensation. But there is a big question mark on how the prosecuting authorities meaning police and investigating authorities handle, present and follow the case. General impression is that on that level much is desired to be improved. The case of acquittal of two culprits in an assault case in Ramban is in sight. The Principal Sessions Judge Ramban has said in his judgment that there were serious discrepancies in prosecution and the court could not do anything but acquit the alleged culprits. Few days back the court had acquitted two militants while stating that the case was investigated reculessly by the investigating agency. This needs to be looked into by the authorities and watering down of justice through maneuvering of prosecution authority should be stopped.
