[Reader-list] KASAV VERDICT

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Bipin
 
You have missed the central point. The Constitution of India gives that right to Ajmal Kasab and also to Afzal Guru.
 
FYI Afzal Guru is not the only one who's appeal for waiver of 'death penalty' is pending with the President. And most of the others are Hindus. So stop obsessing about 'appeasement of minorities' in this case.
 
The Constitution of India is not so petty that it will be changed just because you or someone else or even if millions of Indians want to deny Kasab the tiered rights to Courts and appeal to President.
 
Bipin, one should not accuse others of behaving like blood-thirsty animals and then become a blood-thirsty animal himself/herself.
 
Kshmendra

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
