Faith in the criminal justice system in India

The lower courts in India have always raised questions of the law being above partisan considerations but time and again and High Court in each state the the Supreme Court have stepped in to prove that the law is indeed fair in dealing with criminals. The conviction of the rapist and murdered of Priyadarshini Matoo today bring back the faith one needs to have on the Indian judiciary system. The media also cashed in on the case in a constructive sort of a way and got people to unite by calling for SMS campaigns and emails. Let's these sentences deter possible criminals from committing acts of brutality and instill a fear of having to face the law for their doings with no hope of getting away from them.
