..By: kul bhushan | Tuesday , 5 May '09 22:46:44 PM Reply | Forward The terrorist trials should be set where all pretrial motions should be done in three months and then proceed with the trial .No details of the proceedings other than appointment of competent attorney should be broadcast and then trial should get the needed coverage.No needto give extra exposure to these crooks.All this needs to be done only to protect the innocent .

How long it will take for India to punish the criminalBy: srihari | Monday , 4 May '09 9:18:09 AM Reply | Forward If this is the state of legal proceedings against a person who has publicly waged a war against India and its citizens by killing them, one can imagine the plight of common people involved in legal battles for many reasons. In the garb of not punishing even a single person who is innocent, the judicial system is playing games with the tax paying citizens by prolonged and vexing procedures. When we are emulating western countries in so many spheres and improving our various sectors (Financial / industrial / infrastructure / IT etc) why not we take a cue from the legal procedures elsewhere, where we can get the justice within a reasonable period? Why there should be summer vacations for the Judges of all courts while they are also treated as civil servants just like any other government employees? We are still continuing the British legacy when the Judges were from Britain who used to proceed to their Motherland by taking long vacations. Is it justified to continue the same system even now? There are so many incomprehensible things prevalent in the judicial system that if one goes deep into, that we can only pity ourselves for having been subjected to this kind of justice sytem.

Capital PunishmentBy: M Dinesh Kumar | Sunday , 3 May '09 14:07:23 PM Reply | Forward He must be given capital punishment as early as possible. Also he should be treated as a culprit twice guilty as of a normal blood culprit, body should not be returned to Pakistam since they denied that he is not their citson.Dinesh

Pakistan may send more boys to make use of the loophole.By: B S GANESH | Sunday , 3 May '09 7:13:56 AM Reply | Forward It is very clear Kasab is fully trained in Pakistan to hoodwink Indian politicians, prosecution and judges even. He wanted to delay trial and by that time another attack might take place and when security , police etc are busy he can escape. Fortunatle our prosecution and judges took correct actioin though defence lawyer tried to protect by hoodwinking. When Kasab declared at the time of admissioin to hospital as 21, where was the need for further tests and delaying. Now trial should be on fast track. Besides as juvenile can get only three yeras jail term maximum, Pakistan may send more boys to make use of the loophole.B S GANESH, BANGALORE

GET REAL!By: Vinod Dawda | Sunday , 3 May '09 0:33:47 AM Reply | Forward Many humans have died because of this filth of human.Now the tax payer is charged to pay for the care of this garbage.Any legal system that is this crazy is more likely to deliver no justice or be a meaningless deterrant.It seems the Indian legal system is based on a system which was primarily designed by the well off for their own escapes and to punish the less well off or weak as they would either be not aware of how toothless the system is or are inable to afford the lawyers trained to lie through the teeth.We have a very spineless juduacial system and that has to change if justice has to have a say in India.

Kasab's trialBy: MOHAN DADDIKARKasaK | Saturday , 2 May '09 19:36:31 PM Reply | Forward Beware of critisising Kasab! He is the future cabinet minister in the cabinet of Samajwadi Party led by Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh.

Kasab is a clever terrorist. He must have been taught how to mislead advocates and judges to escape. By: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Saturday , 2 May '09 19:26:46 PM Reply | Forward Kasab is a clever terrorist. He must have been taught how to mislead advocates and judges to escape. His intention perhaps is to delay as much as possible and by that time another attack may take place and police will be busy and he can escape.B S GANESH, BANGALORE
