This you copied from the movie: NO ONE KILLED JESSICA. Right??? If yes, then you know the answer.

November 1, 1984, is a day which Surjeet Kaur can never forget, much as she may try.� Kaur was sitting in her Y block house in west Delhi's Nangloi when someone hurled a burning tyre at her house.
"For a moment we thought there were mischievous elements trying to stir trouble. We scrambled to our terrace to see an armed mob which had surrounded our house. My husband tried to scare them off by chucking a flower vase. But soon a larger mob returned and attacked our home. We ran helter-skelter to save ourselves and I passed out. When I regained consciousness, I saw my entire family had been wiped out. There were burning corpses of four of my brothers-in-law, their four children, son-in-law and others and 28 years later, I do not know if my husband is still alive.'' Now a resident of Delhi's Tilak Nagar, Kaur lives in hope, thinner as it gets with each passing day.
For those who survived the horrors of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots which followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi which claimed, according to official figures, 2,733 lives, existence has never been the same again.
Atri Kaur remembers sitting on that traumatic evening when a group of attackers forced their way into her house. Within a matter of minutes, six people in her family including her husband and one-year-old child were bludgeoned to death. "The only survivors were my mother-in-law and me and we somehow managed to reach a refugee camp. We survived for four months in gurdwaras and government-sponsored camps. We were finally allotted a house in Tilak Vihar and three years later I was employed at the Sena Bhawan. I freeze with fear when I remember those days,'' Kaur reminisces, her eyes looking out into the horizon.
According to S Atma Singh Lubana, chairman of the 1984 Sikh Riot Hit Victims Committee, promises made by the government have been met only partially.� "The surprise is that despite the thousands who were killed, there are no official figures available. The records that have come to us have so many anomalies that it is difficult to organise proper compensations,'' he points out.
Of the victims, about 2,200 have been resettled in the capital's Tilak Vihar, Raghubir Nagar, Madipur Red Quarters, Jehangirpuri, Sangam Park, Lajpat Nagar Garhi, Rohini and GT Karnal Road.
Lubana says they have not yet been given ownership rights of the houses as yet, even as the government increased their compensation package from Rs 3.5 to Rs 7 lakhs. By 1996, families of almost all the 2,733� killed had received Rs 3.5 lakhs. Of them, 1,827 have got the full compensation of Rs seven lakh. What the 906 are waiting for is the increased compensation. As for employment assured by� governments, only 600 have been accommodated. It is of little surprise that the 1984 anti-Sikh riots continues to come back to the haunt the Congress party.

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIEDJustice delayed is justice denied is an old saying. It means that if timely justice is not provided to the sufferer, it loses it importance and violates human rights. The Indian judicial system still lives in old age. It has been observed that a number of cases are pending in courts for a very long time. It is reported that more than 34 lakh cases are pending for disposal in the High Courts and the number of cases pending in the subordinate courts has crossed two crores. Former Chief Justice of India Honble Mr. Justice B.N. Kirpal remarked, In lower courts a judicial official presides over eighty cases per day on an average, out of which seventy are adjourned. Victims have to go through a harrowing time while seeking justice. We often hear about such justice being delivered either after the death of justice seeker or at that time when it has become redundant and useless for him. This approach of justice delivery system brings forth a pathetic situation prevailing all around.In the Uphaar case it is shocking to observe that it took six years to establish that the 59 people died because of criminal negligence on the part of the cinema management and the Delhi government. It was clear from day one that nobody would have died had proprietors of the cinema hall followed safety rules but because the wheels of Indian justice move at the pace of our national vehicle thebullock cartit took six years for justice to be done. And, now Ansal family has appealed in Honble Supreme Court against the judgment of Honble Delhi High Court. And it can be surely anticipated that the justice is really done by this apex court.There are three enemies of the administration of justice: uncertainty, delay and costs. Uncertainty and delay both create a feeling of confusion and uneasiness in the minds of the litigants, although lawyers and judges seldom realize this. It is important that the sufferer must get timely justice. In addition to this complicated and expensive legal procedure, justice is delayed more often than not.Speedy trial is the essence of criminal justice and there can be no doubt that delays in trial by itself constitutes denial of justice. It is prejudice to a man to be detained due to delay in trial. Speedy trial is an integral and essential part of the fundamental right of life and liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution of India. In United States, also speedy trial is one of the constitutionally assured rights. European Convention on Human Rights too provides that everyone arrested or detained shall be entitled to trial within reasonable time or to be released pending trial. Moreover, the procedure should be reasonable, fair and just in each proceeding involving persons fundamental rights.The time has come when we should think seriously over the multiplicity of appeals and evolve a suitable process to avoid delay.With a view to provide quick justice to the people, fast track courts have been established throughout the country.The 11^thFinance Commission has recommended the establishment of 1,734 additional courts known as Fast Track Courts for speedy trial of sessions and other cases. As, on February 28, 2002 -1015 Fast Track Courts had already been set up throughout the country. Undoubtedly,it has been proved that fast track justice is the need of our. And this time, a fast track court of Jodhpur to conduct the expeditious trial in the rape case of a German tourist by two auto rickshaw drivers became the medium of this fast justice. This judgment further shows the sincerity of our judicial system in making justice available to the poor victims as early as possible so that the victim do not undergo the same physical as well mental trauma of that unforgettable criminal torture in the name of getting justice. Judgment delivered by the Additional District Judge Jodhpur is considered to be one of the quickest court verdicts.As a result, on the rape that took place on May 11, 2005 fast track court of Jodhpur made history by delivering its verdict on June 1 i.e. within 21 days of the incidenceand awarded a sentence of life imprisonment to the two accused. It is true that some amendments have been made in civil laws to give relief to parties; still laws should be amended, so that parties may get relief immediately. O.8 R. 1 of CPC٭is an appreciable measure to mitigate the chances of unnecessary delay which usually happens in civil matters. Civil cases should be heard day to day and should not be adjourned over and over again. The number of courts should be increased in proportion to increasing in population. We hope that these measures will certainly prove helpful in quick justice in our society.This old adage tells a tale that there would be no meaning of justice if it is not given at appropriate time. At the same time, it reveals that when justice cannot be given on time, what would be the use of such a complex enormous system erected for this well entrenched value. And, further, from where the machinery will come to realise the concept of rule of law in reality? There are many such issues which want serious pondering over this relevant issue.
