The former Mumbai Marine Drive police constable Sunil More's conviction within a year of his raping a young girl goes to show that the Indian Judicial system can deliver.
Though Judge K.U. Chandiwal was not presiding over a fast track court, he ensured that the trial was meticulously and speedily completed in less than six months. Trials in serious crimes like rape, dacoity and murder should be expedited like the Sunil More case so that the ends of justice are speedily met. It is always advantageous to have trials expedited while evidence is fresh. The Maharashtra Government had paid Rs three lakhs by way of compensation to the 17 year old victim raped by Sunil More.Will the 12 year sentence imposed on the convicted constable be a deterrent to the perpetrators of such crimes? Will it be enough to restore the public faith in the law enforcement authority whose soldier Sunil More let the police and public down by committing rape while in uniform and within the precincts of a police outpost.
