It took over 17 months for the trial to conclude. The decision seemed inevitable right at the outset, but the judge deliberated and heard arguments from both parties before passing his judgment.
"To be hanged till death"
Its a landmark judgment, not because of the complexity involved but the impact it has on the common man. For the unfortunate victims relatives, it is a step forward towards closure. It alleviates the grief of these folks and God alone knows that they deserve better.
The judgment also sends a message to terrorists; there is no honour in what they are doing and what they are trying to achieve. The end result, as it rightfully should be, is death without any dignity.
It also makes me feel proud to be an Indian. Nobody would have grudged us if we had shot Kasab on the fateful night or immediately thereafter. We were mature enough to allow are judicial system to play its part and reach a legal conclusion.
My prayers are with all those that suffered.
