The rot within

The Hindu  

THE belated conviction and sentencing of S.P.S. Kathuria of the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed an order of the Special Judicial Magistrate, CBI, Ambala, dated October 23, 2001, concluding that a prima facie case for the addition of offence under Section 306 of the IPC was made out against Rathore and, accordingly, directing the committal of the case to the Court of Sessions. The CBI also said that the fact of the false implication of the victims brother in criminal cases and his being beaten up by personnel of the Haryana Police at the behest of Rathore were reported to it. Rathore got relief again from the Supreme Court in 2005, when it set aside the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court directing the District Judge to conduct an inquiry to ascertain the truth of the averments made by the victims brother in his affidavit on December 3, 2001, that he was implicated in false criminal cases and harassed by the police at the instance of Rathore. The Supreme Court gave relief to Rathore on technical grounds by holding that neither the news report nor the judgment discharging the victims brother in the car theft cases mentioned Rathores involvement.
