WorldIndian Supreme Court orders legislation to halt mob lynching

NEW DELHI, India: The Indian Supreme Court on Tuesday held the central government responsible for lynching incidents across the Country, and asked the Parliament to make legislation to halt this ‘horrendous’ crime in the name of cow vigilantism.

The landmark judgment in the Mob Lynching Case was announced by a three-member bench headed by the Chief Justice Dipak Misra and also consisting of Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice DY Chandrachud.

In his remarks, the Chief Justice Dipak Misra said the horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be allowed to become a new norm in the Country.

“The horrendous acts of mobocracy cannot be permitted to inundate the law of the land. Earnest action and concrete steps have to be taken to protect the citizens from the recurrent pattern of violence which cannot be allowed to become “the new normal,” the judgment said.

The Supreme Court observed that it is the duty of the State to ensure that the machinery of law and order functions efficiently and effectively in maintaining peace so as to preserve our quintessentially secular ethos and pluralistic social fabric in a democratic set-up governed by rule of law.

“In times of chaos and anarchy, the State has to act positively and responsibly to safeguard and secure the constitutional promises to its citizens,” it said.

"We will continue to stand firmly for ending violence against the Palestinians.
