Parliament should create law on mob lynching: SC

The Supreme Court on Tuesday condemned lynching incidents taking place in the country. The court also said that horrendous acts of mob violence cannot be tolerated and lynching cannot be allowed to become a new social norm. Calling it an onus of the states, the court advised that in a time of exigency, the state governments should work towards strengthening the social order. A three-judge Bench led by CJI Dipak Misra has asked the Parliament to enact a law against mob lynching which is effective enough to instill a sense of fear in the perpetrators.

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने मंगलवार को देश में होने वाली मॉब लिंचिंग घटनाओं की निंदा की।अदालत ने यह भी कहा कि भीड़ हिंसा के भयानक कृत्यों को बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जा सकता है और लिंचिंग को एक नया सामाजिक प्रतिमान बनने की अनुमति नहीं दी जा सकती है। इसे राज्यों का दायित्व बताते हुए, अदालत ने सलाह दी कि अत्यावश्यकता के इस समय में राज्य सरकारों को सामाजिक व्यवस्था मज़बूत करने की ओर काम करना चाहिए। CJI दीपक मिश्रा की अगुवाई में एक तीन न्यायाधीशीय खंडपीठ ने संसद से मॉब लिंचिंग के खिलाफ ऐसा कानून बनाने के लिए कहा है जो अपराधियों में डर की भावना पैदा करने के लिए पर्याप्त प्रभावकारी हो।
