NEW DELHI: Ensuring a speedy trial in the Nirbhaya case, Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir on Wednesday inaugurated a fast track court to try sexual offence cases against women.
The CJI, who justified the public reaction against the ghastly incident, said that had the Supreme Court guidelines on removal of tinted glasses from the vehicles been followed, such incidents could be averted.
"It's good to know that after the tragic incident, people have started raising their voice on crime against women," he said while expressing hope that the fast track court at Saket district courts complex would be operational immediately. He said blame game should be avoided and the case, which is in the "public eye", should be decided on fast track."
He also cautioned about the people's reaction against sending the accused for trial and calling for handing them over to the public to be dealt with by saying that it is a "dangerous reaction".
"People's reaction has been that do not send the accused to trial. Hand them over to us, we will deal with them. Hang them. But let us not get carried away. Let us deal with the matter in a manner in which we are able to do justice as early as possible. Let us show that the judiciary is behind the common man," he said.
