Justice delayed but not denied!

Life imprisonment to Prabhu Agarwal
It’s popular belief that in legal process a financially and socially weak victim is apt to be denied proper justice. The high profile opponent can manipulate judicial system by his money or muscle power. But the award of life term to Prabhu Sanker Agarwal,co-owner of Haldiram Bhujiawala found guilty of his attempt to murder a tea vendor by employing a contract killer belies this belief. Mr. Agarwal is a high profile wealthy business baron while the victim is simply a small tea-stall owner. But this vast difference of financial and social strata between them could not stand in the way of dispensation of natural justice. In fact, arm of law is long enough and strong enough to bring to book the perpetrator of crime, however, influential he may be, if it’s allowed to operate freely and fairly. It may be noted court took as many as 5 years to deliver this judgment. Happily, justice has been delayed, but not denied.
