Help with innocent: What is the whole matter?

On April 12, a 12 -year -old girl was raped in Mallital area of ​​Nainital. The victim said that the accused Mohammad Usman made her sit in her car by luring her 200 rupees and showing a knife and committed this heinous crime. The girl did not tell this to anyone for several days due to fear, but later heard her elder sister. The family lodged a complaint at Mallital Kotwali, after which the police took immediate action and detained the accused. The police registered a case under the Poxo Act and conducted a medical examination of the girl. The incident gave rise to communal tension in the city, and the locals took to the streets.

Public anger and sabotage: disturbance in Nainital

As the news of the incident spread, an angry crowd gathered on the streets of Nainital. Hindu organizations, local residents, and social workers surrounded the Mallital police station and demanded the death sentence of the accused. The protesters submitted a memorandum to the Kumaon Commissioner demanding a hearing in the fast-track court. Some fierce protesters vandalized shops and pelted stones at a mosque, further increased tension in the city. The police deployed heavy force to control the situation and implemented Section 163 (BNSS). The incident also affected the tourism industry of Nainital, as many tourists canceled their bookings.

Municipality strict steps: notice of encroachment

After the incident, the Nainital municipality took another tough step against the accused. The municipality claimed that Mohammad Usman has illegally encroached on the land of the municipality and the forest department. Based on this, a three -day notice was issued to demolish the house of the accused. This notice created more anger among the local people, as many people saw it as quick justice. However, this step became a cause of legal dispute, as it is mandatory to give 15 days notice before removing encroachment as per the Supreme Court guidelines.

High court intervention: notice ban on notice

The lawyer of the accused, Dr. Karthikeya Hari Gupta, challenged the notice of the municipality in the Uttarakhand High Court. He argued that a three -day notice is a violation of the instructions of the Supreme Court, especially when the accused is in jail and is unable to speak. During the hearing, the municipality accepted its mistake and announced the withdrawal of the notice. The High Court also reprimanded the police and administration, taking a tough stance in this case. The court said that action should be taken with strictness and transparency in such sensitive cases.
