Isnt it just convenient. To hell with due process and law and justice and equality. Give a judgenent that offends least number of people, be it right or wrong. You know how that sounds like? A corrupt judiciary that's at the whims of satisfying the ego of masses. Btw >The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation and the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if the capital punishment is awarded to the offender. This quote from an actual judgment made by supreme court of India literally says so. To satisfy collective consciousness of masses, a man must die

That literally is the point of much of how the justice system functions all over the world. Part of the factors they have to consider is for the people to be sufficiently satisfied that justice was done. After all, the system relies on the people having confidence that the system works. The perpetrator of a brutal rape and murder not being given the death penalty when the entire country is out on the streets demanding his blood, would be a grave miscarriage of justice (as long as he was indeed the perpetrator). Especially with the case of the masjid, there wasn't going to be a right answer either way, as Hindus also made a historical claim to the land.
