The Supreme Court on Friday was urged to take Suo motu cognisance of the conduct of lawyers who created ruckus and tried to obstruct the filing of a charge-sheet in the rape and murder case of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua area of Jammu and Kashmir, reports claimed.
As lawyer P.V. Dinesh urged the bench headed by the Chief Justice Dipak Misra to take judicial notice of the conduct of the Kathua bar in particular and Jammu Bar in general, the court asked him to place on record the material relating to the incident, reports mentioned.
The petitioner urged the court to direct the State Bar Council and the Bar Council of India to take action against the lawyers involved in creating a ruckus in the court premises.
Despite resistance by some lawyers, the charge-sheet was filed in the rape case before the court.
On January 17, the body of a minor girl was found in the forests near Rasana, Hiranagar. The girl had been missing for a week. According to police, she had been abducted and raped by an SPO Deepak Khajuria, who was a part of the team sent out to find her when she was missing.
Nine accused, including the alleged mastermind Sanji Ram – an ex-bureaucrat – and his son Vishal Kumar, a police head constable, two SPOs and a sub-inspector of police, have been arrested in the case.
