I have been following Mohammad Ajmal Amīr Kasāb's case fairly closely and to say the least it has started to worry me a bit because of the way it is proceeding. At first, there was this gung-ho as to who would represent him as a lawyer? Then, came the ludicrous proposition, Is he a juvenile? Honestly, to me it's hardly makes a difference whether he is fourteen or forty, forget about 20.5 or 21.5. I also tend to think these are more or less time killing tactics and our judiciary needs to be careful not to heed to them.
There are plenty of things to be learned from history and let's accept we have been pathetic. The list of defaulters is endless but I would like to site two prominent high impact examples. Our judiciary took almost a decade and a half to convict the culprits of Bombay Blast in 1992. Is it reasonable? We always blame the government to trade terrorists like Azar Masood to terrorists during the hijack of IC814. But, what we seize to notice is that our judiciary system could not bring him to book during 5 years of his imprisonment during 1994-1999.
There is a danger that the same thing may happen to Kasab. It would be childish to guess that the terrorist groups have forgotten him and will not make an attempt to assassinate or free him from the custody. This obviously adds a lot of pressure on the security forces who are stressed beyond limit anyway. I think the time has come to expedite the proceeding of such sensitive cases or may be we build special courts for them. Otherwise we'll keep on denying justice to ourselves only because we delay it. Always Remember: Justice Delayed is Justice Denied!!!

Rightlysaid. Justice delayed is justice denied. People like Kasab have to be executed immediately. Our Indian law has to be rewritten in the few areas. Else there's always a risk of hijack history repeat.
Thanks for the agreement Peru. It will indeed be nice if we can expedite this case.
Hope you are having great fun traveling...

I dont think the case will be expedited similar to many other such cases. Expect it be dragged for anywhere between 2-5 years atleast.
Btw, travelling is fun & adventure as usual. New plans for another mountain is on paper. Not sure when. ;)
It would be utopial to seal it in a year or two. Anything more than that would be difficult and can be accepted as a lack of conviction.
I wish i join you guys some time yaar. planning to get fitter to keep pace with u fitter folks.
Have Fun,
Guru
