SC transfers Dalit case from Haryana to Delhi
New Delhi, Dec 8 (PTI) The Supreme Court today transferred to a
special designated court in Delhi, the trial relating to mayhem
against dalits by upper caste Hindus in Haryana''s Hisar district in
April this year to ensure a free and fair trial.
A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly ordered the transfer
"to ensure that the trial is free from any fear or pressure from any
quater".
The apex court asked the Additional Session Judge (ASG), Hisar, who is
presently handling the case, to transfer all relevant records to the
Additional Sessions Judge, Rohini dealing with offences under SC/ST
(Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989.
The bench said that the Special court at Rohini would be free to
re-examine the witnesses already examined by the ASG Hisar.
The apex court passed the order after examining the affidavits filed
by two court-appointed advocates, who had submitted that the witnesses
were under constant threat and fear due to the hostile atmosphere
created by the accused and their families.
