Can someone with legal expertise objectively analyse the judgment
in the context of the oral evidence led as has been done in the case
of the Dr. Binayak Sen judgment for us to assess the nature of
the evidence without this one cannot arrive at a conclusion on the
justice and injustice of the issues involved . Teesta could perhaps
give us a brief backdrop .

Subject: [humanrights-movement:3810] Those acquitted have lost nine
yearsoftheir lives. Only because they are Muslim
[Not only is the case of the 63 people acquitted by the judge shocking and
shameful. We need to be concerned about those that were found guilty. What
is
the strength of the evidence used to convict them? The judge seems to have
relied mainly on the evidence of testimony of 9 BJP men. These men have
claimed to have witnessed the accused participate in the burning of the
Godhra
train. Two of the men were subject of a Tehelka sting and the men admitted
to
telling.
Unfortunately, we have come to expect the massive anti-muslim bias of the
judges
to play a powerful role in deciding how verdicts are delivered i India. It
will take another 10 year for the appeals to reach the high court and the
supreme court and we can only hope that there will be judges who will have
the
honesty and the decency to rise above personal prejudice.

“The police claim that it arrested people on the spot at the railway
station
but the truth is, it was these people who picked us up in combing
operations in
Muslim areas to please political bosses. During cross examination, Sub
Inspector MS Jhala, the first investigating officer, admitted that he had
informed the Home Minister and his seniors that no one had been arrested
till
3:30 pm that day. Other police witnesses admit that 42 people were arrested
at
11:30 pm. The chargesheet mentioned only 16 people because they knew there
was
no evidence against most,” says Yusuf Charkha, a Godhra-based lawyer who
represents the accused.
