The special judge (Harijan cell) SK Mishra has ruled that since truck driver Dinanth Baitha and helper Karu Ram, had not supported the prosecution case and turned hostile during their depositions, he was acquitting Lalit Yadav along with co-accused Surendra Yadav and Pappu.
The judgement has once again highlighted the fact that the people occupying high positions in the society are seldom punished for their misdeeds, that witnesses could be manipulated, and the victims often lack the courage to narrate their plight before the court.
