After 19 years? Not acceptable. People of the country may lose faith & hope, if it takes so long to provide justice. There should be a fast track court.

This is half justice. Who will punish the ATS and the police who could not catch the real culprit? They have ruined someone else's life.

The fact is these people don’t get to experience the true pain and suffering as that of the families. And now justice?????

Again justice is denied for Mumbai/India, no one will take blame for this, no punishment will be handed out to the people who are responsible for the investigation or the real culprit...

What a miserable justice system... Basically, we are saying you can do what you want and we will let you go after a few years.
