New Delhi: Soon after the Delhi High Court refused to give any direction on granting a stay on the release of the juvenile convict in the December 16, 2012 gangrape and murder case, the victim Jyoti Singh's mother said Asha Singh that they have been denied justice.
"Court's decision should be in favour of people and should be in favour of the society. The Act needs to change. I am not satisfied with the judgment. we have not got justice," she said.
Though Jyoti's father said that the order is not any relief. "He will kept under a committee for some time," he said.
The convict in the December 16, 2012 gangrape and murder of a paramedical student in Delhi will be freed on Sunday after the High Court refused to give any direction on granting a a stay on his release. But the order comes with riders.
He will be under the physical control of a management committee for the next two years. His movements will be monitored by the committee and after two years it will take a call on if he is be fit to be released in society without any observation.
While there have been massive protests and even the parents of the Delhi braveheart Jyoti Singh demanded that the juvenile, who is 21 years old now, should get a stricter punishment and not be let off, the High Court refused to go with Bharatiya Janata Party leader and senior lawyer Subramanian Swamy's petition not to release him. The court observed that it was not going to pass any order on a juvenile convict.
The court observed, "Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the maximum stay that can be directed in the Special Home under Section 15(1) of the Act is three years and that the respondent No.1 would be completing the period of three years by 20.12.2015, there cannot be any direction to continue his stay in the Special Home beyond 20.12.2015. Hence, we decline to issue any direction as prayed by the petitioner."
Jyoti Singh's parents said they have been denied justice, but would abide by the court's decision.
