Justice delayed is justice denied

Justice delayed is justice denied. This is something that we hear so often.

Just imagine if you were in the position of Surajnath Yadav, a farmer in the Indian state of Bihar, who for the past 33 years, has been going to the local court as an accused in a case involving the theft of a pair of oxen in his village.

Thirty-three years later, the complainant, four other co-accused and even the policeman investigating the case are dead but for Yadav the trial continues with the court yet to deliver a verdict.

See the CNN-IBN story in video

This story was first featured in the BBC News website

It is good to see CNN IBN picking this story up and showing it to the wider audience.

Hope Surajnath Yadav gets justice soon.
