Jessica Lall Murder Case: Who Should Get Benefit of Doubt?

Law should be absolute and transparent. Any judicial decision should be above doubts and ambiguities. Indian laws say that innocent should not be punished at all costs. This is the real soul and sense of Indian justice delivery system.
But this simple ethics of judiciary was totally ignored by Delhi high court in Jessica lall murder case.
In media or society eyes it may or may not be justified but in court of laws, in case of any doubt as in this case two bullets and two person theories by prosecution creates a doubt.
Here we are just putting sole on law point that in such an ambiguous situation, what law says who should be given benefit of doubts prosecution or accused.

Clear answer one ordinary citizen will get is only that benefit should given to accused side not prosecution who has not able to produce absolute and transparent case in court. But In this case, Delhi high court decision has given win-win situation for prosecution.

As an ordinary citizen I just want that it real soul and sense of Indian justice delivery system should be honor at all cast because if this will apply to all ordinary Indian courts cases than all can guess complete nightmare for ordinary citizens who don’t have access to high powered Indian media as such of page three society.

if this is real legal postion of jessica lall murder case in courts than before manu sharma, indian laws enforcing agencies should be sentenced to life imprisonment.
second Life imprisonment in case of doubt should not be given to Manu sharma by delhi high court

So supreme court should reactify the error made by high court or find clear vision on jessica lall murder case.
