New Delhi: Leading international scholars have written a statement stating that they are very disturbed by some new assessments from the Supreme Court that they believe to have “direct influence on the future of civil and human rights in India.”
The signing attracted attention to the top of the court in the request by Zakia Jafri, the wife of a member of the Parliament who was killed, Ehsan Jafri, challenged the clean chit of the Special Investigation Team to 64 people, including the Chairman of the Minister Narendra Modi, in the 2002 Riot Gujarat case.
Judgment raises three important questions:
“First, because the Petitioners have challenged the findings of the SIT report that gave a clean chit to the Gujarat government for the riots after the Godhra incident, and asked the Supreme Court to order an independent investigation, so that the court ignored their appeal at the bottom of the same SIT report for We seem unfair, “the statement reads.
The statement was also included in the aspect of the decision that had been highlighted by other experts, including the former Supreme Court judge, Chief Justice Madan B. Lokur.
“Secondly, while rejecting their appeal, the court has a hidden motive that is quite unfair and completely unfair with the applicants. This has even dared to executive to capture the Teesta Setalvad co-petition, along with Witness R.B. Sreekumar, both of them have also been rejected guaranteed. If there are patients, prolonged, peaceful, and fully pursuing justice through legal processes, called “maintaining boiling pots”, then this comment, apart from offensive, prevents people from approaching the court about any issues relating to excess excess or negligence from the parties Executive, “said the statement.
Third, the statement said, the court had passed “inappropriate Dicta Obiter” without giving opportunities to those who oppose this statement directed to be heard. “This sets an unfavorable precedent in jurisprudence,” he said.
Apart from the short period of emergency, the Indian Supreme Court generally played a respectable role in defending the country’s democratic commitment, which is why we are disappointed with this new tendency that can be seen in Zakia Jafri’s assessment, “said the scholars.
The authors also urged the Supreme Court to take the Suo Motu awareness about the fall of the decision in this case-direct arrest of Setalvad and Sreekumar.
They also urged the top court “to delete the demean statement contained in it, and to ignore the case against those who have been arrested for the power of this comment
