No place for Taliban-style justice: Delhi HC ex-judge

Delhi | Monday | 9th December, 2019

Summary:

It is difficult to believe that 15 policemen present at the spot could not catch the four accused, he claimed. "The Constitution does not consider it as justice done if an accused is shot dead before getting a chance to prove innocence. This Talibani form of justice may be acceptable in any other country, but it has no place in India," he said. He said if the guilty person was set free due to laxity in the judicial system, we should strengthen the system. Gunning down accused in rape cases is not the solution, the retired judge added..
