    Justice has been finally given after 25 years!!!??? MP's can murder and roam around for 25 long years?? Our legal/Justice system has many loop holes and MP/MLA's are above law and ordinary citizens, law applies immediately??? Judges has to be held responsible for delayed judgement and also additional judges have to be appointed for Courts for speedy disposal of cases, but our Legislative leaders/Government (politicians) are not willing to appoint judges as required by LAW!!!
