Supreme Court refuses to hear Hathras case, said- present your case in HC
New Delhi: More than 121 people lost their lives in a stampede during a satsang in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh. Most of the dead were women and children. A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court regarding this stampede. However, the Supreme Court on Friday (12 July) refused to hear this petition related to the Hathras stampede. The court has asked the petitioner to approach the High Court.
The Supreme Court refused to hear the Hathras stampede case and said that it is certainly a worrying and serious issue, but the High Court is also capable of hearing the matter and passing appropriate orders. The apex court told the petitioner that why did you come directly to the Supreme Court under Article 32, you can put your points in the High Court. Lawyer Vishal Tiwari had filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding a hearing on this matter.
Let us tell you that SIT was formed to investigate the Hathras case. The SIT report was presented before CM Yogi Adityanath. The organizers of Hathras Satsang were held guilty in the report. The negligence of the officials was also mentioned in this report. It is worth noting that there was no mention of Narayan Hari Sakar anywhere in the FIR or SIT report. After receiving the SIT report in the Hathras stampede case, CM Yogi Adityanath took action and suspended 6 officers including SDM, CO.
According to the SIT report, the organizer, tehsil level police and administration were held guilty. The angle of conspiracy was also mentioned in the report. It has been said in the report that conspiracy cannot be ruled out in the Hathras stampede case. It is alleged that the SDM did not compensate for the first opportunity of giving permission for the satsang.
