Dabholkar case: Defence lawyer claims procedure not followed to give sanction under UAPA

Hindustan Times  

Defence lawyer Virendra Ichalkaranjikar while submitting the final arguments before the court on Saturday stated that the right procedure was not followed while according sanction to prosecute the accused persons under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act in connection with Dr Narendra Dabholkar murder case. Advocate Ichalkaranjikar said, “The sanction of prosecution under UAPA to Central Bureau of Investigation was given by an officer of the rank of deputy secretary in the state home department without the mandatory recommendation from the director of prosecution which is required as per the laid down procedure.” The CBI counsel during earlier submission has stated all the laid down guidelines and procedures were followed for the sanction of UAPA against the accused. Terming the confession of a police officer false, the defence counsel stated that the concerned police official recorded extra judicial confession of an accused where he said that he had shot Dabholkar and the same was not examined before the court. The prosecution completed its arguments on February 17 wherein the special public prosecutor advocate Prakash Suryavanshi had sought maximum punishment against the accused persons allegedly linked to the rightwing outfit Sanatan Sanstha.
