Haryana police pulled up by Delhi courtfor "discrepancies"
PTI | 09:03 PM,Mar 07,2011
New Delhi, Mar 7 (PTI) A Delhi court today pulled up the Haryana
police for "discrepancies", including the number of accused, in
records relating to the killing of two Dalits at Mirchpur village in
the state last year. "There is a lot of confusion about the records
which are placed before this court. Something is missing as the
records do not even show the date of arrest of some of the accused.The
Investigation Officer shall clarify the discrepancies in the records
on March 9," Additional Sessions Judge Kamini Lau said. The court said
the records did not suggest various facts relating to the number of
accused and how some of them were discharged by a judicial magistrate
that too in a murder case. "Out of 49 accused, charges were framed
only against 37 and rest 12 were discharged by the judicial
magistrate. There is no judicial record regarding their date of
arrest, filing the chargesheet and subsequent framing of charges," it
said. The court also said the records do not reveal that apart from
those 49 accused, when others joined the investigation and judicial
proceedings. "Whether the rest of the accused joined the proceedings
after framing of charges on September 6, 2010 or not, it is not clear
from the records," the court said. Earlier, the court had asked the
Haryana government to deploy CRPF at Mirchpur village to protect the
witnesses till they record their testimonies in the case. It had taken
exception to the belated deployment of CRPF at the village where the
community members of the accused are protesting against the shifting
of the trial from Haryana to Delhi. The Supreme Court had earlier
directed that the case relating to the killing of a 70-year-old Dalit
man and his physically-challenged daughter allegedly by a mob of over
100 upper caste people be transferred to the special court here to
ensure a free and fair trial. 97 accused were transferred to Tihar
from a Hissar jail this month on a direction of the court. Out of 103
accused, five are juveniles and one is out on bail. On April 21 last
year, a Dalit man and his daughter were burnt alive in violence
against the community allegedly by members of an upper caste, forcing
about 150 families to flee Mirchpur village in Hissar.
