Strange Case of Mahajan V/s Mahajan

It is almost a year since Pramod Mahajan died at the hands of his own brother Pravin Mahajan.

Pravin Mahajan shot his brother in cold blood in a premeditated attempt on his life. Immediately after shooting him, he went and surrendered to the local police and also gave up the weapon of crime.

Now we read about the trial on a daily basis. Is this not a fit case for speedy disposal? Why is the court interested in hearing the testimony of witnesses produced by the defence? Why has Pravin Mahajan pleaded not guilty? If Pravin did not shoot and kill Pramod who did?

From what has been reported in the media, it is an open and shut case and Pravin should be punished as soon as possible, rather than allowing the trial to drag. Justice should not only be done but should also be seen as having been done and swiftly at that. Only such an action will allow people to once again repose their faith in the judiciary.
