News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Court Order: Sometimes it takes a long time to get justice, but when it is found, its importance does not diminish even after decades. One such case has come up from Begusarai in Bihar, where the court has given its verdict in a 33 -year -old case. The court of Begusarai Civil Court First Class Judicial Magistrate Prashant Priyadarshi has sentenced former MP Surajbhan Singh (Suraj Bhan Singh) to sentence 1 year imprisonment in this old case. At the same time, Ram Lakhan Singh and four other accused have been sentenced to 4-4 years imprisonment.
The case is from 1992, which is related to a serious fraud and illegal weapon related to arms license (Arms license). Actually, the police had received secret information that fake licenses of weapons are being issued to the people. When the police conducted raids, irregularities were found on a large scale and some names came out. In the same case, the then Daroga Shambhu Prasad Singh had filed an FIR in Begusarai Nagar police station, and since then this legal battle was going on.
Usually, in such old cases it becomes difficult to find evidence many times or witnesses also change. But in this case, the judiciary has shown its perseverance and sentenced the culprits after 33 years. While Surajbhan Singh was sentenced to 1 year in jail, Ram Lakhan Singh and four others-Arun Singh, Cupid Chaudhary, Mantosh Singh and Santosh Kumar-have been sentenced to 4-4 years.
This decision of the court has once again sent a message that it can be late, but justice is definitely available. This decision is not only a lesson for those who violate legal procedures, but also hope to the victims who wait for justice for years.
