It expresses shock at denial of justice to father of encounter victim for 19 years

In a shocking case of the State virtually supporting an extrajudicial killing, the Supreme Court has condemned the Uttar Pradesh government for screening police officers accused in an encounter death even as the victim’s father was made to run from pillar to post for justice for 19 long years.

A Bench led by Justice Vineet Saran ordered the State government to cough up 7 lakh as costs within a week. The amount would be withdrawn by the father, Yash Pal Singh.

In a scathing order, the apex court said, “This is a very serious case where the petitioner, who is father of the deceased, is running from pillar to post to ensure that justice is given to him in a case which was registered against the accused, who were all police officers.”
