Naive are those who believed that Shibu would serve life sentence in Tihar! No matter which party a politician who was a Cabinet Minister in any Govt would ever serve the sentence to its fullest length. The entire political class would ensure that he is out at the earliest lest the same misery may befall on them one day.
It's ridiculous that the judiciary making a 180 degree turn. The degree of deviation between the lower court-High court-Supreme Court is not high almost always. Most of the times even if it exists it will be mostly the lower court exonerates the accused under pressures and poor representations but not convictions that too of high enough profile like that of a cabinet minister. Here we are seeing the High court turning aside the conviction for lack of evidence. The judges are helpless! They have to go only according to what the prosecution presents. Obviously the CBI was under strict instructions to place the weakest presentation possible by the Manmohan Govt.
It would be interesting if the Supreme Court takes a suo moto action and stays the HC Order.
Any way, as they say :"YES HE IS A BAST*RD! BUT HE IS OUR BAST*RD"
