| SC Verdict Brings Ray of Hope for Kashmiri Prisoners | | AIP Urges Immediate release for MP Er Rashid |
Srinagar,May 12 (Scoop News)- Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi has welcomed the significant observations and directions passed by the Supreme Court of India regarding timely disposal of bail applications, terming the verdict a major breather and a ray of hope for thousands of undertrial prisoners, including hundreds Kashmiri detainees lodged in different jails across the country.
Inam Un Nabi said the Supreme Court has once again upheld the spirit of justice and constitutional morality by emphasizing that timely consideration of bail is directly linked to the protection of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
He praised the Bench headed by the Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi for taking serious note of unnecessary delays in hearing bail applications and for directing High Courts to evolve mechanisms for speedy disposal of such cases.
Inam Un Nabi said that countless families in Jammu & Kashmir have suffered silently for years as their loved ones remain behind bars for prolonged periods while their bail pleas face repeated delays. He said the Supreme Court’s observations have rekindled hope among such families who have been waiting for justice with patience and pain.
The AIP Chief Spokesperson particularly urged the judiciary and investigating agencies to ensure that Member of Parliament from North Kashmir, Engineer Rashid, also receives justice without further delay. He said Er Rashid has already spent more than six years in incarceration and deserves a fair, humane and expeditious consideration of his legal rights in light of the Supreme Court’s latest directions.
He expressed hope that all High Courts, State governments and investigating agencies will sincerely implement the Supreme Court’s directions in letter and spirit so that justice is not denied through delay. He added that the judiciary remains the last hope for common people and today’s intervention by the apex court has strengthened public faith in the justice delivery system.
