| KU Law Deptt sets ‘unlawful’ precedence! | | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 7: Even as a student was wounded in a “deadly” attack inside classroom allegedly by his seniors, the Law Department of the Kashmir University has decided not to opt for registration of a police case into the “criminal offence.”
Sources said resentment is brewing among the law students of Kashmir University for the failure of the department to get a police case registered into the deadly attack on their fellow around a week ago.
On June 1, Danish Haji, a student from the Department of Law was injured and subsequently shifted to hospital for specialized treatment.
As per the witnesses, the senior students of the LLB department had stormed the classroom of the juniors with sharp-edged weapons and thrashed Danish in presence of the Law department teacher, who was delivering lecture in the class.
Official documents reveal that Danish was rushed to JLNM Hospital with “knife injuries.” A group of students told Early Times on the condition of anonymity that it was unfortunate for the department to have ignored such a “serious case of criminal offence.”
“Hooliganism has become a routine at the campus. One was expecting that the Law department which teaches Law would seek police case after the knife attack which is a serious criminal offence, but the department chose not to go by the law,” the students lamented adding that the attackers were being shielded.
“How can the Law department ignore a criminal offence? And what precedence will it set for the students that even after a criminal offence, no action should be taken,” the students said.
The students said in the last few months students fist-fighting with each other had become a routine. “A police case would have been deterant,” said a KU teacher on the condition of anonymity.
When contacted a senior official told the Early Times on the condition of anonymity that the matter was amicably resolved. “Both the groups resolved that matter amicably so why to drag police into the matter,” he said.
He said a police case would have marred the career of students. When told that not registering a case into such an incident was allegedly unlawful in itself, he said it was a “was a different case and different situation.” |
