“New Delhi: Four days after a group of farmers were run over by a Union Minister's car in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri, the Supreme Court demanded to know today "how many have been arrested" and asked for a status report tomorrow from the state government.
"We need to know whom you registered an FIR against and how many have you arrested," the Supreme Court told the Yogi Adityanath government
"In the status report also tell us about the eight persons who have been killed. Farmers, journalist etc. It is an unfortunate incident. Tell us whom you registered FIR against. How many have you arrested," the Supreme Court questioned.
A new video that emerged yesterday made it clear that the protest at Lakhimpur Kheri was peaceful until Junior Home Minister Ajay Mishra's convoy rammed protesters from behind. His son Ashish Mishra has been accused of driving the SUV that ran over farmers.
An FIR has been registered against Ashish Mishra but he has yet to be arrested or even questioned.
"A number of farmers have died due to the negligence of authorities. We requested that the court should take appropriate action regarding the issue. It's a human right violation," said lawyer Shivkumar Tripathi, who had written to the Chief Justice of India NV Ramana”.NDTV
“The Supreme Court Thursday said it would like to hear the two lawyers who wrote a letter seeking a high-level judicial inquiry, also involving the CBI, into the Lakhimpur Kheri incident in which eight people were killed in violence during a farmers' protest.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said that the letter was to be registered as a PIL and due to some miscommunication it was listed as the suo motu (on its own) case.
"Does not matter, we will hear it nonetheless, said the bench, also comprising justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli. The bench asked the court officials to intimate the two lawyers - Shiv Kumar Tripathi and C S Panda to appear and passed over the case.
"This letter is addressed by two lawyers. We directed the Registry to register this as a PIL but due to some miscommunication, it was listed as a suo motu.. . Inform both the lawyers who wrote the letter to be present," the CJI said.
The matter may be taken up during the day. The incident has triggered a major political storm with opposition parties accusing the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of shielding the culprits.
Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV in Lakhinpur Kheri when a group agitating against the Centre's three new farm laws was holding a demonstration against the visit of UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on October 3.
Two BJP workers and a driver were beaten to death allegedly by the angry protesters, while a local journalist was also killed in the violence”. Rediff
