PRESERVE BODIES OF ACCUSED, HC TELLS STATE GOVT
Videograph post-mortem: HC
Videograph post-mortem: HC
07.12.2019
The HC on Friday directed the state government to preserve bodies of the four accused till December 9. It said the post-mortem process must be videographed. The bench, headed by Justice MS Ramachandra Rao, and which included Justice K Lakshman, said videos must be submitted to district judge in Mahabubnagar by 6pm on December 9. The order was passed following representation filed by members of National Alliance of People’s Movements, Human Rights Forum activists and other women’s groups. The letter was converted into PIL by Justice Rao, who heard it as a house motion at his residence late Friday evening. “Video-record the post-mortem and furnish a copy in form of CD or pen drive to district judge of Mahabubnagar,” Justice Rao ordered.
Activists appealed to HC to direct formation of special team of autopsy surgeons — other than from Telangana and AP — to conduct independent videographing of post-mortem. They also sought formation of special forensic team for independent examination. “It would be a fallacy to even think that some kind of justice has been served by abandoning all due process,” the letter read. The activists requested HC to order that case be handed over to CBI. The next hearing is on December 9. TNN
