Justice, fairplay - Where is it?

The Nithari killings story isn't new.... here is the update (case timeline is on right) if you need to read up on the case. The story has been unfolding, with hearings, CBI involvement, tests etc. these past few days and the accused are being tried at the Ghaziabad district court (Noida).
Yesterday, a mob consisting mainly of lawyers and public angered by the decision of the court to handle the hearing behind closed doors, attacked the accused Moninder Singh Pandher and his cook Surendra Koli, after the hearing.
Watching the video of the accused being attacked in court, I was appalled. Was I hearing this right & seeing reality? I for one do not have much compassion for rapists... the accused I hope pay for their crime. What bothers me is the callous way in which the government and the police are handling the case... I believe even the accused have a right to safe hearing, a right to live, a right to prove their innocence, irrespective of the crime. When the police took them under their custody, they also took the responsibility to safeguard their lives (apart from aiming to impart justice to the parents of the kids).
If mob lynching could solve all the crimes and provide justice, India would be a haven for all victims wouldn't it? I don't understand... what gives the general public (not related to the crime in any which way) and the lawyers the right to meet out punishment through verbal and physical abuse? If rendering the accused unconscious with blows would bring back the dead, bring back life to its normal ways before they were kidnapped, killed, raped, I'd understand.

Human rights are for all... murderers included. Even in a corrupt country like India, there is judicial system set up to deliver justice... harboring a false sense of vendetta against every killer, ever rapist, every criminal and acting out on your personal rage will not quench the anguish of the victims, or the guilt of the accused....

The Ghaziabad Bar Association blame the police for the fiasco.... I haven't heard though anyone ask for an account of personal responsibility from the lawyers or the general public who stooped down to violence.... for what cause I ask you?
