To frame laws, to coin words and to lay down rules of criminal justice is easy.
But to do justice as per law is almost impossible. Humans are genius.
Their actions are neither predictable nor can they be placed in pigeon boxes of law.
For example, if you lay down law that dying declaration of a person should be believed because a dying person tells no lie,.... very next day another case comes up where a dying person has falsely named all members of his enemy's family- including those who were not even city.
To meet new fact situation, the law has to be changed or tweaked again to do justice.
Same is true regarding all other rules and concepts of criminal law. Nothing is certain here.
Even Supreme Court has to qualify most of laws laid down by itself by adding a caveat that 'No hard and fast law can be laid down'...
Each criminal case has its own fate. Nothing here is sure like a mathematical formula. Results are uncertain.
