The Delhi High Court has stayed a portion of the National Human Rights Commission’s order, which directed the Delhi Police to pay Rs 7 lakh compensation to the family of undertrial Shahnawaz Ansari, who was shot inside a Bijnor court on December 17, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The single-judge Bench of Justice Subramonium Prasad on Tuesday passed the orders on a petition filed by the Delhi Police challenging the NHRC order, which
criticised the Delhi Police for its failure to protect a murder accused, who was shot dead in Bijnor, while attending proceedings at the court of a Chief Judicial Magistrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The High Court directed the Delhi Police to implead Uttar Pradesh as a respondent in the matter and adjourned the case to July 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The single-judge Bench further said that it would appoint an amicus curiae to assist the court in the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undertrial Shahnawaz was the main accused in the double murder case of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader and Najibabad-based property dealer Haji Ehsan, and his nephew Shadab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shahnawaz, considered to be an aide of gangster Mukhtar Ansari, had surrendered in Delhi. He was lodged in Tihar jail, from where he was taken to Bijnor in connection with a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The petitioner apprised the High Court that the Uttar Pradesh Police was responsible for the security of Shahnawaz, adding that the Delhi Police officials accompanying Ansari were unarmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
