| DB asks Handwara girl's parents to file affidavit for no need of police protection to their daughter | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 9: A division bench of high court today directed parents of the Handwara girl to file an affidavit before it that their daughter does not need any police protection.
The division bench of the court comprising Justices Mohammad Yaqoob Mir and Ali Mohammad Magrey also reserved orders on a petition filed by the girl's mother, seeking directions to DGP to file an FIR against the concerned SP and the SHO for 'illegal arrest' of the girl.
The petitioner has also demands an investigation into the role of army in "creation and release of the video." The army has already denied any role in creation or circulation of the video.
"Let her mother or father give undertaking that (the girl) does not need any police protection," the division bench said and reserved the orders on the petition. The court passed the order after hearing counsel for the petitioner and senior Additional Advocate General N A Beigh.
While the petitioner counsel argued in support of the demand made in the petition, the government strongly opposed it, saying that no constitutional, fundamental or legal rights of the girl or her father were infringed or violated in any manner whatsoever.
"That the petitioner has not approached with clean hands, she has misrepresented the facts and also concealed material facts from this Court. It is submitted that the husband and the daughter of the petitioner were provided protective custody and security in view of apprehending grave and imminent to threat to their lives," the government said.
This was done, it said, to protect their fundamental rights guaranteed under article 21 of constitution rather than violating it as "wrongly perceived by the petitioner."
The government said that the girl approached police station Handwara on April 12 at around 3:15 pm stating that she was molested, dragged and slapped by two local boys while she was coming out of a public lavatory in the main chowk Handwara.
She identified one of the boys as Hilal Ahmad Banday who according to her was yelling "Kya Kashmiri Mar Gaye Hai" (have Kashmiris died), he said. The other boy, she said, is not known to her but she could identify him, the police said. Accordingly, he said, a case (FIR No. 130/2016 u/s 509, 354,341) RPC was registered. |
