CHANDIGARH: With the system consistently failing to come to the common man?s rescue, it was the judiciary that offered a glimmer of hope. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, often anguished and angry over the sorry state of affairs, came out with some important orders to help improve things.
This year's most important order was given by justice SD Anand of the HC, wherein he had directed the special CBI court, Chandigarh, to conclude Ruchika molestation trial within a month. The young, bright girl was molested by a high profile police officer of Haryana and later committed suicide because of the atrocities committed by the cop on her family members.
In an attempt to bring down cases of death due to road accidents, the high court directed the Punjab government to install speed governors in all transport vehicles running within the state.
Coming down heavily on the prosecution agency of the state, HC also asked Punjab government to pay Rs 1 crore compensation to five innocent persons who were sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment for the murder of a person who had later surfaced to mock the justice-dispensing system. HC also directed the lower court to initiate criminal proceedings against all those responsible for framing innocent persons in the murder case.
Deciding a vital issue related to the Sikh community, the court in its judgment passed in May held that unshorn hair were integral to the Sikh personality and Sikh educational institutions were within their right to specify conditions for
grant of admission to students.
