Ranchi/Greater Noida: In the much-discussed Mohammed Akhlaq mob lynching case, the alleged collusion between the prosecution and the accused once again came to light during court proceedings today. When the accused filed an application seeking the transfer of the case from the current court to another, the prosecution raised no objection. This stance has raised serious questions about the fairness and impartiality of the judicial process.
It is noteworthy that the same court had earlier rejected the Uttar Pradesh government’s plea to withdraw the case. At that time, the court had clearly stated that the matter was of a serious nature and that withdrawing it would go against the principles of justice. In this context, the prosecution’s silence on the transfer application has been termed disturbing by the victim’s family and several social organizations.
During today’s hearing, Akhlaq’s wife was present in court to record her testimony. She expressed hope that her family would receive fair and impartial justice. However, since a final decision on the transfer application has not yet been taken, the court adjourned the hearing for the time being.
Senior CPI(M) leader Comrade Brinda Karat was also present in the court compound to express solidarity with the victim’s family. She stated that this case is not just about one family, but is a test of justice and constitutional values for the entire society. She demanded that the proceedings be conducted in a transparent and unbiased manner.
The CPI(M) Varanasi unit also expressed concern over the developments, stating that the role of the prosecution must remain completely impartial and that every possible step should be taken to ensure justice for the victim’s family. The party urged the court to take an early decision on the transfer application so that unnecessary delays in the case can be avoided.
