The battle is lost. Having lost faith in the system,none in the family of late Allah Singh are keen to pursue 28-years-old legal battle which the 87-year-old Singh valiantly fought. Saturdays verdict,acquitting three of the four accused involved in the mysterious death of Singhs 21-year-old son Inderjit Singh has left the family bereft of hope. For the brother of the deceased,the battle was half lost when his father,who gave his life fighting for justice,died last year. Talking to Newsline,Kawaljeet Singh,brother of Inderjit said,After fighting for all these years my father turned into a fragile old man with little reason to live. He added,We always saw tears in his eyes. He used to say that he would fight for justice till his last breath. Having seen his grandfather wither day by day,Iminder Singh,Inderjits nephew said,I dont see any reason to continue this struggle. My grandfather struggled for all most three decades but died at the age of 87 as a helpless and broken man. We waited for almost 28 years for justice but it eluded us always. Kawaljeet added,My younger brother was so full of life . He wanted to be an IAS officer. While working at Central Warehousing Corporation in Chandigarh,he was also preparing for various competitive exam. Recalling the day when his brother died,Kawaljeet said,My father was snubbed and ridiculed by police when he said my brother was murdered. Vinay Jhingan,former public prosecutor in the case and counsel for Inderjits father said,I was so moved by the indomitable spirit of Allah Singh. After retiring from service I became his lawyer. I remember he used to come thrice a week to court and spend the whole day there. His sole aim in life was to get justice for his son.
