Nitish Katara murder: SC issues contempt notice to official for not deciding on convict's remission

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Monday issued a contempt notice to the principal secretary of Delhi government’s home department for not deciding the remission plea of a convict in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case and said its orders were not followed unless drastic measures were taken. Nitish Katara murder: SC issues contempt notice to official for not deciding on convict's remission “We believe that unless a contempt notice is issued, our orders are not complied with,” a bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said after the Delhi government failed to take a decision on the grant of remission to convict Sukhdev Yadav alias Pehalwan, who is serving a 20-year jail term without remission in the case. The state government has not shown even the elementary courtesy of even making an application for grant of extension of time.” The bench went on, “We therefore issue notice to the principal secretary of the Home Department of Delhi government calling upon him to show cause why action under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 should not be initiated against him. We will issue contempt notice.” Issuing the contempt notice, the bench said it did not compel the government to make the statement on taking a decision on the remission plea.
