Beltangady, Feb 20: In a significant development, the court has acquitted Shankara Gowda, also known as Veerappa Gowda, in connection with an acid attack that occurred on September 27, 1995.

    Justice delayed is justice twisted n ultimately denied... Such cases must be disposed off with conclusion within a short time... Long 30 years may have seen most witnesses either moved from the locality or left for heavenly abode...
