‘Gaping Holes in Prosecution Evidence,’ Court on Samjhauta Case
The QuintThe blast in the India-Pakistan train took place near Panipat in Haryana on 18 February 2007, when it was on its way to Attari in Amritsar, the last station on the Indian side. "I have to conclude this judgment with deep pain and anguish as a dastardly act of violence remained unpunished for want of credible and admissible evidence. There are gaping holes in the prosecution evidence and an act of terrorism has remained unsolved," he said. He said a Court of Law is not supposed to proceed on popular or predominant public perception or the political discourse of the day and ultimately it has to appreciate the evidence on record and arrive at final conclusion on the basis of relevant statutory provisions and settled law applicable to that, he said. "Since findings of a court of law are based on admissible evidence as per law, the pain becomes more acute when perpetrators of heinous crime remain unidentified and unpunished," he said.
