In the first test against West Indies, Dhoni was caught by Ganga but the catch was not clear. So benefit of doubt should go to batsman.. But why was he given out?

SCORERS "QUOTED" IT AS OUT.
SCOREBOARD SHOWED THAT.
AND THAT 'OUT' PUT IN RECORDS.
THAT DECISION TAKEN TO SATISFY LARA .

Because he was a true sportsman. I think Lara made a big deal of something so small. His gestures and actions on the field towards the umpires definetly warranted a fine on him. Dhoni showed true poise and did not want to create an incident.
Also to clarify Dhoni was not given out. If you check the Wickets column did not increase.

The umpires never gave Dhoni out, it was his personal decision in order to avoid conflict due to the raving attitude of Brian Lara..which was quite strange coz he should have respected the umpires decision as final but instead made an issue..anyway at the end Dravid considered declaring the innings to ease out the tension and must say great sports spirit depicted !!

Field umpires Asad Rauf and Simon Taufel referred the decision to the third umpire. But TV replays were inconclusive and third umpire Billy Doctrove took 10 minutes, without coming to any conclusion.
Dhoni later revealed host captain Brian Lara convinced him to walk off.
"Lara came up to me and told me that he was in charge of his players, and that he had full faith that Ganga was speaking the truth. He said I should walk off and I agreed.
"There was no instruction from outside. Only those present in the field were involved," said Dhoni.
"Darren was not very sure as the ropes were on his backside.
"He said he wasn't sure if he had stepped on it. With paper ropes, it is not very easy to find if that was touched or not," said Dhoni of what happened in the middle.
Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf, then at the bowler's end, had doubts about the catch and he consulted his on-field Australian colleague Taufel before contacting Doctrove.
Ganga was seen speaking to Lara and then to Dhoni while Lara had a discussion with the umpires before he approached Dhoni.
It was 15 minutes of total confusion before Dhoni walked off.
"I accepted the fielder's words and came back," Dhoni added.

If the umpires do not come to conclusion, decision should go in favour of batsman. 15 minutes of a test match wasted during the incident which would have been decisive.
