Chawla Rape and Murder - Status Update : Review Petition - FIRST Hearing
Posted on 2 March, 2023 by Administrator
New Delhi [India], Mar 01: Aggrieved by potential opening of flood gate to acquit criminals involved in heinous crime of Rape and Murder of a young girl returning home in the evening on account of “Benefit of Doubt” by Apex Court on account of inadmissibility of certain key evidences which were earlier adjudicated as admissible by the competent judicial forums, a team of concerned Legal practitioners viz., Adv Sandeep Sharma, Adv Varun Singh, and Adv Rohit Dandriyal came forward to represent the victim’s family in petitioning for Review of the impugned judgement, in accordance to established process of law. To that effect, in Dec 2022, a review petition was filed which is scheduled to be heard on 02-Mar-2023.
In the meantime, the worst fears allayed by the legal team apparently came to be true when Honb’le Supreme court acquitted murder convict on same account of “Benefit of Doubt”in Jan 2023 for a crime of murder committed in 1985 and conviction at trial court in 1986. In addition to that it has been further underlined by Adv Rohit Dandriyal who stated that “Delhi Police have arrested Vinod for allegedly killing an autorickshaw driver, nearly three months after the Supreme Court acquitted him in a 2012 gang rape and murder case. From day one, we have been saying they were hardcore criminals and society cannot bear the cost.”
On the above noted premise of facts, we consider duty bound to follow the process of law through petition to review and also to keep the Indian Citizens in general about the status of the petition. Hereunder is the Update on the petition and the matter.
This matter is not just about relief to the aggrieved family of the victim but also our Society at large and it has potential of opening the flood gate of disaster. As opined in one such interview by Adv Amogh Mund “Such judgements may become a Landmark in acquittal of accused of such heinous crime and further encourage introduction of trivial technical flaws in investigation along side encouraging such hardened criminal to commit murder after having committed crime in order to benefit from this olive branch.” However, this effort for the greater good of society at large is going to be a long march towards a deserted future for civilized society unless each of the Citizens come forward and register their voices, emotions and anquish.
