Hathras rape: Is it fair to allow District Magistrate to continue in his post, asks Allahabad HC -Omar Rashid

Court cites pendency of the investigation in the rape and illegal cremation case in which Praveen Kumar Laxkar is in ‘the thick of things’

The Allahabad High Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh government if it was “fair and reasonable” to allow the District Magistrate (DM) of Hathras to continue in his post during the pendency of the investigation in the Hathras rape and illegal cremation case in which he was in “the thick of things.”

A Lucknow Bench of Justices Rajan Roy and Pankaj Mithal said, “...when he [Hathras DM Praveen Kumar Laxkar] was in the thick of things... would it not be appropriate to shift him elsewhere during pendency of these proceedings without there being any stigma attached to such an action only to ensure fairness and transparency in the matter.”

The court on October 12 said it was not satisfied with the explanation of the Uttar Pradesh government on why it had taken action against the district police chief of Hathras but not the DM over the alleged rape incident and the hurried cremation of the victim, even though it was admittedly a “collective decision”.
