Don't challenge but act swiftly on judgment HC-Partap Bajwa
Chandigarh, April 24, 2021: Member Parliament Partap Singh Bajwa today said that the present government should constitute a new SIT which would complete the investigation within a span of one month and file the challan before the Trial Court as he was suggested earlier. He said that the Hon’ble High Court has also made similar observations by directing that the investigation of these FIRs should be concluded as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months from the date of constitution of SIT. It has also been stated in the judgement that justice needs to be delivered to the victims of these FIRs who have been waiting endlessly. He said that he had also expressed the same opinion that the Indian National Congress had been voted to power by the people of Punjab based on our poll promise to punish the perpetrators of these sacrilege cases. Hence, they should not be made to wait for justice by the government and expeditious investigation is the need of the hour.
Bajwa said that without commenting on the investigation that has been conducted and focusing on the time frame within which a party has to fulfil our poll promises made to the people of Punjab regarding these cases, he feels that the judgement of the Hon’ble High Court instead of being challenged should be implemented in letter and spirit. He said that a new three-member SIT should be constituted and the investigation should be concluded at the earliest, preferably within a month and subsequently after filing of challan, an application should be filed before the Trial Court requesting for an expeditious trial preferably on day-to-day basis.
