Today, someone was convicted on a case which had the other accused acquitted separately as this man was not available then. There seem to be no added reason than the non-availability at the trial along with others. Another possibility rumoured was that the presiding officer was not in good terms with the accused's counsel! If that were true, where will this trend end up and what will be the plight of the poor clients? Will it not be like the 'the fence grazing the cultivation?'
How could one ensure the judiciousness of the judges? Appeal is a way out, but then the convict has to undergo imprisonment till the case is disposed by the appellate court in its own time.
