Answer:
The trial of Shanti was fair one because:
It took place in open court and in presence of the accused.
A lawyer defended Shanti, who also cross-examines the witnesses. Shanti’s lawyer was given an opportunity to produce her witnesses and evidences.
Explanation:
- Among the factors used to determine whether a defendant received a fair trial are these: the effectiveness of the assistance of counsel, the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses, the opportunity to rebut the opposition's evidence and cross-examine the opposition's witnesses, the presence of an impartial jury, and the judge's freedom from bias.
- Shanti's defence lawyer fought the case on behalf of her. The defence lawyer represented the case of the person accused in a crime in the court.
- This ensured fair trial was given to her and was in consonance with the Article 22 of Fundamental right that allows every individual to defend himself/herself.
