Ahmedabad: In connection with the case of acid attack, the Gujarat High Court on Monday rejected guarantees to be accused and observed, “We want our daughter safe.” Judge Paresh Upadhyay rejected Plea Guarantee of a man who had been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was convicted of throwing acid on a 19-year-old girl, who had opposed her progress.
The judge was not moved by the argument that prisoners had spent six years behind the bar.
The judge questioned how it was “that we don’t let our daughter safely run on the road?” The court was told that the incident suspected of happened at 2:30 in the morning and acid was thrown from the window on the girl when he slept in his house.
After hearing this, Judge Upadhyay said, “We want our daughter safe …
This is the case where the sentence does not need to be suspended.” The judge called this as a very sensitive and questionable problem, “where did they get a picture of throwing acid?” Before the court rejected Plea the guarantee in the case of an acidic attack, he heard Plea guarantees accused of in cases where a woman died while making tea after the stove exploded.
The convicts were sentenced to seven years in prison for deprivation of suicide.
The judge ended, “The government has made gas so cheap so it is used to burn girls.” Judge further commented that it was an ordinary story in rural areas of dying women burning while making tea.
“The use of stoves is no more than killing girls,” he said further.
However, the court guarantees the defendant in this case, but not without questioning whether the problem is suicide or murder.
