Yasin Malik's Court



Four officials at Delhi's Tihar Central Prison have been suspended, including a deputy superintendent, two assistant superintendents, and a head warder, following a serious security lapse. The breach allowed jailed Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik to physically appear in the Supreme Court, against regulations.

 

Sanjay Baniwal, the director general of prisons, has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. He stated that the suspended officials are believed to be responsible for Malik's unauthorized physical presence in the court. Baniwal has made it clear that Malik was supposed to appear via video conferencing only, making this incident a significant failure on their part.

Malik, who is serving a life sentence in a terror funding case, should not have been physically produced in court, especially given the ban on such actions for terrorists. Despite the ban, he was escorted by police to the Supreme Court. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta expressed his concern in a letter to the Union home secretary, demanding action against prison officials who allowed Malik's unauthorized appearance.

 

Mehta emphasized that Malik is not an ordinary person but someone with a background involving terror and separatism, having been convicted in a terror funding case. The security breach occurred during an appeal filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, challenging a court order requiring Malik's presence in a trial related to the killing of four Indian Air Force personnel in Srinagar in 1990 and the abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed, daughter of former Union Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in 1989.

The Supreme Court had previously issued a stay order on this requirement and asked Malik to appear either in person or through a lawyer. However, the order did not permit his physical presence in court. The authorities are taking this incident seriously and intend to hold those responsible accountable for their negligence.
