TRIAL OF A DOCTOR & A GENTLEMAN
On Christmas eve, a Raipur Session Judge awarded Dr. Binayak Sen (61), a pediatrician, Narayan Sanyal (74), an old Naxalite ideologue, and a tendu patta (bidi leaves) Kolkata businessman Piyush Guha (38), life imprisonment on charges of sedition ('rajdroh') and criminal conspiracy to wage war against the duly elected government.As the Second Additional District and Sessions Judge B. P. Varma's verdict hit the headlines, human rights activists the world over cried "foul" and said it was "injustice." Legal pundits, however, are divided over the judgment though and the jury is still out.
