A Delhi court today quoted Rabindranath Tagore's famous poem "where
the mind is without fear and the head is held high" while pronouncing
its order on sentence in the April 2010 Mirchpur Dalit killings in
Haryana.

Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau quoted Tagore's poem while
sentencing three to life imprisonment each, five others to five years
jail term each and letting off seven other convicts on probation.

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where
knowledge is free;.....Into ever-widening thought and action, Into
that heaven of freedom, my father, let his country awake," the judge
quoted Tagore.

ASJ Lau referred to the stanzas in which Tagore had drawn a picture of
free India and his dream of a country with no boundaries.

The judge also quoted Noble Prize winner Amartya Sen's celebrated work
'Idea of Justice' in her order.
