This conversation moves beyond surface-level critiques to examine the structural flaws in the justice delivery system. Mr. Wasan highlights how the pressure to meet administrative deadlines often compromises the integrity of evidence. We also explore the legal and practical challenges regarding the independence of witnesses and the critical gaps in the public prosecution system.
