The purpose of regularizing the process of trail is not only to clarify the facts of a case,but also to issue an authoritative judgement over the debates between the offence and defense parties.This is justified bdcause it is yet another opportunity to offer help to both sides.Therefore,the court for a second trial should not simply carry out a seemingly fair but mechanic process of thorough examination of the trial. This is against the basic principle of judicial operation concerning security and process of the lawsuit,which will only result in prolonged lawsuits with low trial should be confined to justification of the appeal from the offence party and counterappeal from the defense Party.
