Various people have started condemning the spate of death sentences awarded by various courts in the last couple of days. To them the interviews of the parents of the girls burnt alive will convey a message. Inspite of that if anybody still speaks against death penalty I feel that they should be subjected to such tragedy in their life. I wonder what they will speak then.

Yes, you are right. But death penalty should be used carefully and judges should examine the circumstances and give it. All murders have some feelings, emotions and affected party asks for death sentence. If so, we need to give dealth penalty to each and every murder. I don't recommend abolition of death penalty but wise minds should prevail in its usage.
Now that a criminal verdict has been reached, the victims families should now sue the AIADMK for damages. Let them get 50 Lakhs each from AIADMK. It is only then the polictical parties will learn.

Yes, u r absolutely right.. the families should be given compensation by AIADMK party as it is now a well known fact that this was a politically motivated mob attack by them on innocent students who would have become the bread winners for their family.Let atleast now with some conscience they do some justice to these families (But pl do not use it to get political mileage and sympathy from common man)...for that is the bane in TN politics...

Hello Vinay,
Rs.50 lakhs to each of the victims is pocket money for political parties. I think the party should be banned from contesting in the next election. Only that can hurt.

Suneet I agree with you ...Please read what i have written sometime ago on this subject.... Hitesh Sharma
We have wonderful judicial system, but it lacks core systematic approach in judgment. Let us analyze the facts, Why there is a delay in judgment, the answer is there is no fixed time frame is given for vetting judgment. As a long as we do not have time based procedure, It is very difficult get good justice. Another big culprits who block justice is so called lawyers as well as media peoples. Before we blame politicians, If lawyers & media people do their job with self consciousness crime will reduce automatically. Unfortunately nothing happen past 60 over years. Where we are heading towards? Even in this message board every one write based on emotional outburst.
I believe, most of you people aware, Some Asian countries, for every offence, they have fixed punishment/fine system with time frame. If you trafficking drug more than %u2018X%u2019 grams , no matter who you are; will be hanged to death with in stipulated 6 to 8 months time, similarly even small crime also attract punitive punishment with in 3- 5 months.
As along as we do not have this type of time based systematic approach, It is very difficult to control the crimes in our country. More over, Judicial system should be isolated from political parties / parties in power.

very true--a level headed approach is required and a time bound judiciary should be in place. A delayed justice has also been an indirect source of inspiration to the perceptors of crime.
While the judgement is welcome.. its obvious that only the three couldn't have burnt the bus.. the remaining 25 were accomplice. I think 7 years jail term and 13 thousand fine is far too less for them. Moreover still judiciary has to be corrected. Like in US one has to get separate jail terms for each crime. In india they all club the terms together and you can server all your terms simultaneously. Meaning you server only 5 years for a sentence of 5 years/crime on three crimes. Only when you think that you are going to spend the rest of your life in jail, you will refrain from even attempting it.

Is our President Abdul Kalam going to have a change of mind this time too or is it reserved only for the downtrodden communities of India?

Rightly said. If those people who cried hoarse against Afzal's sentence have any conscience, let them come out and do the same thing now. Obviously we can't expect heartless people to sympathise on anybody other than their brotherhood.
Hi all, At last the justice been done. Further appealing to be contested and these criminals to be hanged. Condolences to these three innocent girls families.
