New Delhi:
Families of victims who took on influential accused in cases similar
to ramp model Jessica Lall's murder Monday said the Supreme Court's
decision to uphold life term for her killer has restored their faith
in the judicial system.
"It is a reinforcement of faith in our criminal justice system.
People did lose faith when the accused were acquitted in the lower
court. But they were convicted by the high court and now by the apex
court," said Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost his two children in
the Uphaar cinema fire tragedy in June 1997.
"This landmark judgment shows that however mighty the accused is,
the clutches of law get him," he added. He was pitted against a real
estate baron in the Uphaar case.
The Supreme Court Monday upheld the Delhi High Court judgment
sentencing Manu Sharma to life imprisonment for killing Lall in
April 1999. Sharma, the son of Congress leader Venod Sharma, is
lodged in Tihar jail.
He had challenged the high court judgment on his conviction and life
sentence delivered in December 2006.
Neelam Katara, who fought for justice against an influential
politician's son who killed her son Nitish Katara, said: "We were
expecting this judgment. It is a win of the common man."
"We are satisfied with the judgment, but it took 11 years... this
should not take so long. If this is the case in Delhi, then one can
imagine what would be happening in other states. Whatever reforms
are required, we should immediately implement them," she added.
A social group fighting for justice in the Priyadarshani Mattoo case
called the judgment "historic in every sense". Mattoo, a Delhi
University law student, was raped and killed by a senior police
officer's son in January 1996.
"It will set a very positive precedent for cases of similar nature
in times to come. The guilt of the accused has been proved now
beyond doubt," said a representative of the group Justice for
Priyadarshani.
"The verdict is the victory of the Indian judiciary as it restores
the faith of the common man in the criminal justice delivery system.
It reflects the neutral nature of the judiciary in spite of constant
political pressure from the well-connected and powerful accused,"
the representative added.
