Justice mutilated, fanatics worse than terrorists: SC verdict • On prosecution: Acted more as a defence counsel. The investigation appears to be perfunctory and anything but impartial. • On trial court: Silent spectator, mute to the manipulations and preferred to be indifferent to sacrilege being committed to justice.’’ • On High Court: Miserably failed to maintain required judicial balance and sobriety • Denial of justice: Justice delivery system was being taken for a ride and literally allowed to be abused, misused and mutilated by subterfuge. • The riots: When ghastly killings take place in the land of Mahatma Gandhi, it raises a very pertinent question as to whether some people have become so bankrupt in their ideology that they have deviated from everything which was so dear to him • Violence: ‘‘The golden thread passing through every religion is love and compassion. The fanatics who spread violence in the name of religion are worse than terrorists and more dangerous than an alien enemy’’
