SC takes suo motu cognizance of Lakhimpur Kheri violence, CJI-led bench to hear matter on Thursday
Taking suo motu cognizance of the violence that erupted in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri, the SC has listed the matter for hearing on Thursday.
The Supreme Court of India has taken Suo Motu
cognizance of the violence that claimed eight lives in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur
Kheri on Sunday.
Listed before a bench of the Apex
court headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana, the matter will be
taken up on Thursday. Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kohli are also part
of the three-judge bench set to hear the matter.
Earlier
this week, the Uttar Pradesh government had initiated a judicial probe into the
matter headed by a retired High Court judge.
Four
farmers died in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri after they were allegedly run over by a
car that was part of the convoy of Ashish Misra, the son of Ajay Misra, Union
Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs.
The
incident triggered violence that claimed the lives of another four individuals,
including at least two BJP workers.
