Retrial in Jessica Lall Murder Case

The acquittal of all nine accused in the Jessica Lall murder case by a Delhi court is a sad reflection of the state of affairs in our country. It is a pointer to everything thats wrong with our police, our prosecution and our criminal justice system. The verdict is proof of the fact that in this country, the rich and the powerful are above law...not only can they commit any crime with impunity, but they can also get away with it! The outcome in this case strengthens those who have regularly misused and abused the law and the state machinery. It strengthens them and it weakens the rest of us us, the ordinary citizens of this country who have a rightful stake in the future of this country. It therefore becomes imperative to fight back this verdict and this outcome.

So, we earnestly request you sir to explore all possibilities at your end for securing an effective retrial in the case. This retrial is important to prevent miscarriage of justice and to restore public faith in the state and its institutions.
