What has happened in this rape case involving a few Indians and a Japanese girl is shocking and equally shocking is the quickness and a fair delivery of strict judgement to punish the perpetrators for a long term imprisonment.  The court's decision, needless to say, is to be admired.   I am sure it brought lot of relief to the victim and her family because that is what they looked for - a fair judgement.  All leaders and judges at other states' level ought to take a cue from the handling of this rape case to set an example that under no circumstance the criminal of such heinous rape cases will be spared irrespective of their association, affiliation and status in the society.  However, in my opinion, this case took 6 months to dispose off which is still a long time.  There needs to be special courts set up nationwide where only rape cases will be heard and disposed off within weeks, not in months and years.  One does not want to prolong the agony to the victim and his/her family awaiting the closer of such cases.
