Is the Kasab verdict a victory for India’s judiciary?

Is the Kasab verdict a victory for India’s judiciary?

Just about a year and half after the 2008 bombings in Mumbai that killed 166 people, Ajmal Kasab, the gunman captured during the sacking of three days, was convicted slain.
Special Judge L. Tahaliyani Kasab convicted counts, including war and murder in India.

The sentence is not surprising, because the accused pleaded guilty during the trial period (though he later withdrew) and more than 650 witnesses testified against Kasab supported by the video recorder to move around the site to attack with an AK-47 by hand .
Add to that the powerful public force for share of the heaviest promising penalty, which is from of Pakistan, India's traditional enemies, the elocution is more or less given up.
The process quickly, hastened by public pressure and overwhelming data, is also a victory for India infamously slow legal system.
Judgement came in the years after a proceedings against Kasab, compared with a trial of 14 cases in 1993 serial blast in the same city.
Surprisingly, two Indian nationals accused of being members of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) and to carry out investigation before the attack in Mumbai, who was acquitted of all charges because the judge ruled the proof against them was weak.
But it appears that impartiality in the honesty system in India, some commentators say.
But some things are still related -
First, if intelligence is able to give enough information about its leaders in custody Kasab extract?
The second sentence was a direct reflection of Pakistan's contribution in the attacks, so it will not change relations with Pakistan?
The third decision is final, it was difficult for the families of the wounded and for the country?
The fourth,If India is now training its guns on the brains of the Mumbai attacks, suspected Kasab leaders in Pakistan, although the prime ministers of both countries have asked their officials to take steps to normalize their relations since a few days?
