[Reader-list] KASAV VERDICT

[Bipin Trivedi]

Dear Kshemendra,

 

Parliament can and has right to make such decision if show will. But,
congress cannot show such will, who prolonged even Afsalguru conviction
keeping pending for so long for their vote bank politics. Comparison with
Shah Bano for the reason of vote bank politics only to appealing minor.
Reverting shah Bano verdict is classic example of minor appeasement and the
same case with Afsalguru and I am fear for Kasav also same thing might
happen.

 

Thanks

Bipin

Dear Bipin

 

A. I am against the death penalty for anyone for any crime whatsoever. I
believe the 'death penalty' is awarded in barbaric societies, and yes, India
is still barbaric in many ways.

 

B. You might disagree on the above. That does not change the opportunity
allowed in India for anyone convicted in a crime in a Lower Court to take
the matter to a Higher Cour.  

 

     Since it is a question of a 'death penalty', Kasab has the right to
have his case heard by the Higher Courts right upto the Supreme Court. After
that he has the right to appeal to the President for waiver of the 'death
penalty'. The Constitution of India provides that right. You cannot compare
Civil Law of the Shah Bano case witha 'death penalty' being awarded. 

 

     No one can take that right away from Kasab.

 

Kshmendra

AS EXPECTED, KASAV RIGHTLY GOT DEATH SENTENCE.

 

Though terrorist's Kasav case was crystal clear, but still we have gone for

about 17 months fair trial and proved that how transparent our judicial

system is unlike Pakistan. But, after this trial and judgment, he should not

allow to appeal in the higher court and should be hanged in public

immediately without further judicial procedure. if Indira Gandhi (ex PM)

deny to obey court verdict and neglect law and Shah Banu case was revert out

of law by parliament than why cannot this? India should show the world that

country cannot compromise in integrity and take hard action if required like

open public death sentence.

 

Thanks

Bipin
