Biased Indian Judicial system

I have been observing the proceedings of court very closely first in the case of Prof. Bhullar, second the verdict of Sajjan Kumar and third case belongs to MN Das (he was awarded death penalty in a double murder case).

All of us know Prof. Bhullar is innocent, 120+ witnesses were brought into the court and none of them was able to establish proof that Prof. Bhullar was involved in triggering the bomb blast which killed 9 people and MS Bitta (traitor of Sikh Community) was injured. All police has as a proof is confession statement of Prof. Bhullar on which god knows whose thumb impression has been imprinted. 

Well, I am not a lawyer but I understand that confession statement around which there is so much of ambiguity cannot become a solid proof and death sentence cannot be awarded. We also know the corrupt Indian Police, CBI etc would have tortured Prof. Bhullar, violating all human rights and may have got thumb impression of Prof. Bhullar forcefully. Judiciary is well aware of these facts but still he has been awarded 'Death Penalty'. Apart from that his mercy petition was in queue for more than 10 years.

Now lets jump onto the Sajjan Kumar case, there are 3 cases against him. For 1 of the case he has already been acquitted, this case was of high importance because this was the case filed by Jagdish Kaur (prime witness who saw Sajjan Kumar instigating the mob) whose husband Kehar Singh, elder son Gurpreet Singh and cousins Narinder Pal Singh, Raghuvinder Singh and Kuldeep Singh were murdered during 1984 Sikh Genocide. 

She also mentioned in the interview to 1 TV channel that Sajjan Kumar agents approached her with an offer of Rs. 2 crores and piece of land and asked her to withdraw the case. With witness identifying culprit (Sajjan Kumar) which in itself is a big proof still Sessions Judge J.R. Aryan acquitted Sajjan Kumar. Shame on this!

Last not but not least is the case of MV Das, this case is not much talked about. The crime of MV Das is that he had beheaded one Harakanta Das at Fancy Bazaar in Assam and surrendered with the victim's head in his hands on April 24, 1996. Today (1st May 2013) Supreme Court converted the death sentence of MV Das to life imprisonment. 

Just to add point, MV Das mercy petition was rejected by Ex-President Pratibha Patil. Supreme court of India allowed the plea of Das who had approached for commutation of his death sentence on the ground that the President had taken eleven years to decide his mercy plea.

We can look at these 3 cases and clearly judge that Indian Government, CBI, Police, Media, Judiciary has a step motherly attitude towards Sikhs. They simply don't want to accept Sikhs as equal citizens in India and trust me we will never get justice in this country!
