What is justice?

Justice... What is justice? According to the dictionary, " the administering of deserved punishment or reward." 
But does that really happen? Are the guilty actually handed out deserved punishment? 
Sometimes Yes ... But sometimes No... In case punishment is given out, it is not always "deserved" or "apt"...
This is just what happened in the Ruchika Girhotra molestation case... The accused was handed out a punishment, but that just seemed to be a mere formality looking at the 6 - month term... Yes, that's exactly the term of punishment that Rathore was given... He is accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl way back in 1990... who then committed suicide 3-years later... Why? Because the poor girl was made to feel like an accused, what with her brother and father being tortured by the accused... It looked as if Ruchika was the accused and that's why her family was tortured to no end, they were punished... This is the state of justice in the country... 
Yes, a girl is first molested, then her family is tortured to keep her quiet, and later she kills herself... 
And what happens to the accused? He roams around freely, treating law as his family affair... and then a free man is again set free after 19 long years... What with the 6-month prison term... And whoa... he is set to challenge that too........ 
And when does the media and the people react !!! When he is handed a "6-MONTH PUNISHMENT" ........ No one even knew about the case till then.... 
Wonder how many more Ruchika's are suffering silently.... behind closed doors....
