    It's good to hear the final verdict from court.

    But one thing I really don't understand, does the court needs 8 years to give final verdict for such simple and silly unwanted case, where there exists no truth from day one and is based on false allegation?

    So now what is the compensation for those who were victims for 8 years and had to go with mental torture leaving behind their work and roaming around to court for justice?

    What punishment do we have for those who file false cases with an intention to harm others life? Don't we have any law to punish those who file false cases?

    This is the difference between our Indian Judiciary system and Western or Middle East system, where our Judiciary needs years and years to provide justice for such simple cases.

    Does these conversions requires?
    Let us follow our own religion. Ultimately god is one. By conversion why we have to make unrest in the society? It applies to all religions.

    Dear Rohan Pinto, mangalore,

    Embracing a true faith in the name of Jesus the sinless and faultless is no sin.

    To accept another's faith the constitution guarantees.

    Whoever has complained the case to file are guilty of transgressing Indian constitution.

    Concerning to terrorism Jesus never taught terrorism.

    For Humanity.
    Teaches Christianity.
