[QUOTE="Taranjeet singh, post: 123794, member: 10049"] Respected Mai ji, We are told that in criminal reporting there are always chances of getting distorted picture unless it is from a very reliable source. Media has some advantages of bringing in distortions. Some reliable source is always preferred in these kinds of issues. I had referred to BBC.UK and had put forth the comments. Infact, in one of the link given below you would kindly observe that the exercise of DNA matching has been done. [B]2.[/B]You would kindly agree that the decisions of Courts are not [I]functions[/I] of as to how the statement was obtained by the Police. Court is not to challenge the Police enquiry [I]suo- [/I][I]moto[/I]. [B]3.[/B]Courts, it is presumed, and presumed very rightly, follow the procedural fairness and full opportunity is provided to the accused to state that is to be stated in order to defend themselves.You would also agree that It is not a case of a Talibani killing sikhs that great injustice has occurred against the 'kaum'.We are talking of ordinary gangsters and criminals and as they say murder is not committed by the criminals, but by the law-abiding persons. [B]4.[/B]Having stated this it can be concluded, and you would also agree, that the accused had all the time to state that they had to act under coercion, duress or threat of some sort. Courts do listen to these facts. [B]5.[/B]You would also very kindly agree that today, this world is treated as a Global village and no country will venture into the affairs of foreign nationals, that these men were, unnecessarily.All that was left for the court was to see as to how the prosecution substantiate its claim against the accused. Fair trial is presumed in every court of justice. [B]6.[/B]There is another important aspect that is seen in criminal cases and that is called as [I]Mens Re[/I] i.e the intention of the accused. If they wanted to kill or not becomes the deciding factor.The matters that you have raised would be heard properly in the appeal only. That is the proper forum for raising the issues that you have stated [B]In nutshell[/B] the men concerned must have been given the opportunity to say that they had not testified of their own volition and further they would again get the chance to state all these things and prove that they were forced to do certain things. In absence of details it shall not make much sense to speculate on various things involved in the case. Rest assured, my heart also goes out for the parents of those poor kids who are undergoing this trauma of the tragedy. Let us wait till the details are available and we may discuss it again.
