Shanu, Mohd Shoaib a.k.a. Chhutwa, Shahrukh, Rashid a.k.a. Raja, Azad, Ashraf Ali, Parvez, Md Faisal and Rashid a.k.a Monu - acts instilled a sense of insecurity among people and jeopardised the communal harmony in the society."...all these convicts have been held guilty for offences punishable under Section 147/148/380/427/436 read with Section 149 IPC as well as under Section 188 IPC.

Convicts shall be entitled for benefit under Section 428 CrPC. All the sentences shall run concurrently," the court said.The court said: "Communal riot is that menace, which poses serious threat to sense of fraternity among the citizens of our nation. Communal riots are treated as one of the most violent forms of public disorder that afflicts society. It leads to not only loss of life and property, but also causes great damage to social fabric. During communal riots, innocent ordinary people get caught into the circumstances beyond their control, which leads to the violation of human rights as well."In this case also, the court added that "the convicts indulged into communal riots, which had its impact upon, not only limited to the people residing in the affected area, rather it affected the mindset of people beyond limits of territory in the society."Thus, impact of the crime committed by the convicts in this case, is not limited to loss caused to the complainant only. Rather their acts left a deep scar over the social fabric, and economy and stability of our nation. The alleged acts instilled sense of insecurity among the people, while jeopardising the communal harmony in the society, the court said.spr/uk/Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
