Six Manipur police commandos facing prosecution in alleged extra-judicial killing cases have moved to the Supreme Court. The petitioners have raised a complaint about Justice Madan B Lokur’s remark during a hearing of the case in which the CBI director was summoned on July 31.
They claimed that Justice Lokur asked the CBI director, “According to you, there are 14 murderers in these cases and they are loafing around Manipur freely. You have not arrested any of them. What happens to society? If somebody commits rape, what is there to recover? So you (CBI) will allow him to roam free?”
The petitioners said that one judge should not call members of armed forces and police force during the hearing of the case. It has given a serious blow to the morale of the forces and their families. This issue should be referred to a five-judge bench and Justice Lokur should not hear the petitions alleging extra-judicial killings in Manipur.
