Five people were jailed for murder of a woman. They were behind the bars for 13 years when the murdered woman resurfaced.
The case has been reopened by someone and the court has issued orders to the government to pay each wrongly jailed victims sums of Rs 20,00,000/- each... a total sum of Rs one crore.
Hats off for the Indian judiciary...

This is a defect in legal system. A court decides on the strength of witnesses- oral or documentary and wrong decisions are also taken many times. This is also reason why death penalty should not be awarded. There is no room for reversal of decision in case of death sentence. In this case, the victims of wrong sentence have at lease been compensation and are freed from jail.
But I have one doubt. If the woman is still alive, the police would not have recovered her dead body and so, the murder could not have been proved. Possibly, some other woman's dead body might have been described as body of the woman resurfaced.
Harish Jharia has narrated interesting real life case. Such incidents generally occur in films.

India Law is full of holes and every criminal are escaping from that hole every one knows that it was kassab was the criminal behind 20/11 in Mumbai and he has not been given any Judgement still now and Only in India a case will take more than 10-15 years for judgment even it is a simple crime case
