Encounter Not A Procedure Established By Law; Condoning It A Disservice To Nation & Constitution : Justice Deepak Gupta
"The brazeness with which the law is being flouted does not protend good things for the country coming up," former Supreme Court Judge, Justice Deepak Gupta remarked recently during an interview with The Wire. "There is no doubt that the long delays in the court, in the judicial system, in delivering Justice in cases like this does cause anguish in the minds of people…judiciary must try and decide these types of cases as fast as possible," Justice Gupta recommended. In a speech delivered as part of Justice PD Desai Memorial Lecture at Ahmadabad in September 2019, he said "The last few years have given rise to a number of cases where the law of sedition or creating disharmony have been misused rampantly by the police to arrest and humiliate people who have not committed the crime of sedition as laid down by the Constitution Bench of Supreme Court. Freedom of expression being a constitutional right must get primacy over laws of sedition" During the interview Justice Gupta reiterated, "as long as a protest is peaceful, as long as it is setting up your constitutional rights, you have a right to protest against the government in power."
