| New Delhi, Aug 1: The other day Justice G.S. Singhvi lamented that human life has little value these days. He said even when a person cries for his life, everyone around remains a mute spectator.
Justice Singhvi said this while hearing a case involving the death of three college girls who were burnt alive in a bus when AIADMK cadres went on the rampage after their leader J. Jayalalithaa was convicted in 2000.
Singhvi took exception to the fact that neither in the trial court records nor in the Madras High Court was there mention of any attempt being made to save the girls.
Recounting an incident of a vender setting himself on fire in full glare of the media and the presence of police, Justice Singhvi said: "This is the value of human life today." (IANS) |
