Supreme Court on Pahalgam attack: The Supreme Court has refused to hear the PIL demanding an inquiry into the Pahalgam terror attack. The case was demanded to be investigated under the supervision of the retired judge. The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition condemning the move. Justice Suryakant and Justice N. A bench of Koteshwar Singh said that such petitions break the morale of the army.
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition of petitioner and advocate Fateh Sahu, saying, “It is not time to file a petition.” When the whole country is united in fighting terrorism, then when did the experts start joining such cases? How can a judge of the High Court or Supreme Court become an expert in security cases? These types of petitions drop the morale of the army. Our job is to resolve disputes. The Supreme Court criticized the Pahalgam terror attack and said that this is a delicate moment for every citizen of the country. Understand the seriousness and sensitivity of this matter.
Become responsible lawyer: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has also advised the petitioner that, ‘Our job is to resolve disputes’. He came to court for students. But there is not a single application for students in your application. Do not apply like this. Do you want a retired judge of the Supreme Court to investigate it? Understand the seriousness of this matter. The job of the judge is to resolve disputes. Not to investigate. Please become a responsible lawyer. Are you not breaking the morale of the army with such a petition? As soon as the court advised him to withdraw the petition, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appealed that the Supreme Court also prevent him from going to the High Court.
What is the demand in the PIL?
The petition demanded the formation of a judicial commission under the chairmanship of the retired judge of the Supreme Court to investigate the Pahalgam attack. The petition also demanded instructions to prepare an action plan to ensure the security of citizens at the tourist places of Jammu and Kashmir to the Center, Jammu and Kashmir, CRPF and NIA.
