Lakhimpur case: 'SIT is unable to differentiate between two FIRs', Supreme Court reprimands UP government

During the hearing in the Supreme Court on the Lakhimpur Kheri case, the UP government has again been reprimanded today. The investigation of the UP Police is again on the target of the Supreme Court. The court, without naming anyone, said that in order to save one accused, evidence is being collected in a way in the second FIR. The court said that a retired judge of the second High Court will be appointed on his behalf, who will supervise the investigation of this case. The court clearly said that there should be no misunderstanding between the two FIRs registered in the case.

The court said that there have been two types of murders in Lakhimpur. First of those farmers who were crushed by the car. Second, those political workers were killed by the mob. Everyone should be investigated. In the court, Justice Surya Kant said that the witnesses of both the incidents should be examined separately.

In the court, a bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justice Suryakant, and Justice Hima Kohli was hearing this. Harish Salve had supported the UP government.

The court raises questions on SIT, the investigation will be done under the supervision of a retired judge

The court also raised questions on the SIT formed in the case. Said that the SIT which is probing this case is not able to differentiate between the two FIRS. The court said that we want to appoint a retired judge of the High Court in this case, so that there can be a difference between the two FIRS. The court suggested the names of former Punjab High Court judges Ranjit Singh and Rakesh Kumar.

Supreme Court reprimanded

The last hearing on the Lakhimpur case was held on October 26. Then the court had ordered the UP government to provide security to the witnesses, record their statements. It was said that the statements of witnesses related to the death of journalist Raman Kashyap and driver Sundar should also, be taken separately.

Was asked to take mobile data from the mobile tower but nothing has happened so far. It was said that apart from the phones of Ashish Mishra and the witnesses, no one's phone was tracked. The court asked, 'You want to say that no other accused had a mobile?' The Court further said that we are sorry to say that prima facie it appears that benefit is being given to a particular accused by overlapping in 2 FIRS.
