Allahabad HC Grants Further 6-Weeks To UP Govt For Decision On Relocation/Rehabilitation Of Hathras Rape Victim's Family
Live LawThe Allahabad High Court has granted a further 6-week time to the state government to take a decision and apprise the court with regard to the relocation and rehabilitation of the family members of the Hathras gang rape and murder victim. A bench of Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Jaspreet Singh granted more time to the State Government as the bench was apprised that the victim's family had submitted an application in this regard before the State Government on December 02, 2024. Advocate Mahmood Pracha, representing the victim's family, on the other hand, though objected to this request as he urged the court to direct the State Government to provide a house for the family in Ghaziabad or Gautam Buddh Nagar. It may be noted that around 2.5 years ago, the High Court directed the government to consider relocating the family to another place within the state, outside of Hathras, taking into account their social and economic rehabilitation and the children's educational needs.
