Explained | States’ lax response to lynching

The Hindu  

The story so far: The Supreme Court has asked the Ministry of Home Affairs and the governments of Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana to respond to a petition filed by the National Federation of Indian Women seeking an explanation for their “consistent failure” in the past five years to act against lynching and mob violence committed on Muslims by cow vigilantes. A Bench of Justices BR Gavai and JB Pardiwala took only a few moments on July 28 to issue notice to the Ministry and the police chiefs of the six States to explain the “alarming rise” in lynchings despite a Supreme Court judgment in Tehseen Poonawala versus Union of India in 2018, which held that no right is higher in a secular, pluralistic and multiculturalist social order than the right to live with dignity and to be treated with humaneness. The NFIW has urged the court to examine whether the “rampant rise” in lynchings and mob violence against a particular religious community revealed police apathy; a direct violation of the constitutional guarantees provided under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution; and the police are in breach of a “duty of care”. It has urged the court to direct the government to pay a “minimum uniform amount” to the victims of lynchings and mob violence in addition to any pay-outs after taking into consideration factors such as nature of bodily injury, psychological injury and loss of earnings, including loss of opportunities of employment, education and legal and medical expenses incurred by the victims.
