When Rule Of Law Becomes A ‘Dead Horse’: SC Order Refusing Probe Into ‘Attack’ On Kanhaiya Kumar Is Unfortunate
On 24th January, the Supreme Court dismissed the plea seeking probe by a Special Investigation Team into the attack of JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar which took place in the premises of Patiala House Court during February 2016. The attack of Kanhaiya Kumar within the premises of Patiala House Court by lawyers happened in blatant defiance of the directions of the Supreme Court itself. The Supreme Court had issued strict directions to ensure safety of Kanhaiya Kumar and to avoid untoward incidents in Court premises, and had constituted a special committee consisting of senior advocates to oversee security arrangements. Justice Gogoi reportedly observed as follows: “We would like to examine the petition in the light of reports filed by Delhi Police and also by the Delhi High Court.” In the light of the serious consideration given to the matter initially by the Supreme Court, the latest order closing the matter without deeper probe came as a surprise.
