The proceedings in the court were quite unexpected today.
I was slightly hopeful but never thought verdict could be so favorable.
The reason is the one who attended the case from prosecution side was a 30-35 years experienced leading advocate.
My senior was out of station for another prestigious case in the Supreme Court and that was the only reason why I could appear for this case. Would anyone expect to win the case in such a scenario?
I managed to cross all the witnesses produced by the prosecution & prove their statements are false and can't be trusted in the given circumstances. Prosecution failed to defend them. It was detrimental.
In addition, I could successfully challenge the sections invoked by the prosecution viz., IPC Section 300, Section 307, Section 340, Section 362, Section 375.
As a young ‘up and coming’ lawyer, everyone in the firm was congratulating me for winning my first big case today.
....And all day long, all I could think about is, how I used a technicality in the law to help a murderer walk away, a free man...!
