But whether Manu Sharma will be hanged is a altogether different story. His lawyer can always cook up a cock-and-bull story like <A HREF="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1458637.cms" REL="nofollow">his Southern counterpart Suryakant's</A> lawyer had. The reason we are seeing justice on fast track is not because Indian Judge's Club took a unanimous decision that from today onwards lets deliver justice. It is because this is picture India desperately wants to portray in front its people and to the rest of the world. Remember the days when T.N. Seshan and his colleagues were projected highly by the media as if the bureaucracy would wave their magic wands and all problems would vanish with a whooshing sound. Is the court not being projected in the similar manner? It's only a CLEANING-IN-PROGESS signboard that has been put in front of the loo. Sadly enough there are no cleaners around.<BR/>Hmm that was the longest comment I ever wrote…now time to get back to work ;-)Bishuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903837157342009287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19997456.post-1145444309540823802006-04-19T18:58:00.000+08:002006-04-19T18:58:00.000+08:00The Jessica Lal case was quite something. But I am...The Jessica Lal case was quite something. But I am wondering if it was just a one time thing. Look at how easily Salman Khan got away with poaching...and whatever happened to his hit and run case? Also if you think about it, the furore about the Jessica Lal case has quite died down now. I wonder if justice will really be meted out once the media spotlight shifts elsewhere?Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188939998406476590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19997456.post-1145439259171273932006-04-19T17:34:00.000+08:002006-04-19T17:34:00.000+08:00Jessica Laal's case concerns a girl being shot dow...Jessica Laal's case concerns a girl being shot down brutally in public yet the murderer walks free as he is related to some minister.<BR/>On the other hand Narmada Dam is about building a dam and giving a damn to whatever happens to the people who are dislocated.<BR/>Now when an (foreign or domestic)investor considers India as a destination for his billions just think what stance in each of the cases will satisfy him? I think he'd delighted to see that while the Indian judiciary tries to punish the corrupt at the sametime it is ruthless about building the infrastructure to safe-gaurd his billions.That is the message I get from the current proceedings and that is what my friend disturbs me the most.Bishuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903837157342009287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19997456.post-1145380791287719492006-04-19T01:19:00.000+08:002006-04-19T01:19:00.000+08:00funny thing though, the way the supreme court said...funny thing though, the way the supreme court said that the height of the narmada dam be raised. the media involvement in this case has not been any less than that in the jessica lal case....maybe ram rajya is still a far cry.medusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261482823827588448noreply@blogger.com
