The Supreme Court on Friday expressed concern over the
recent brutal gang-rape and murder in Delhi saying there is no safety in
the Capital as such incidents are happening repeatedly.
“There is no safety in the city and it has to come back,” a bench of
justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra said while pointing out that
December 16 incident was not an isolated one and “it is being repeated
in the city.”
The bench said it is concerned about providing safe environment for women so that they can live with dignity.
The bench made the remarks while hearing a PIL filed by a law student
pleading with the court to pass direction for making the city safer for
its citizens and for setting up a criminal injuries compensation board
for the payment of compensation to victims of rape.
“We
are more concerned about safe environment where women can work with
honour and dignity and that must be restored,” the bench said while
issuing notice to the Centre, the NCT government and the National
Commission for Women asking them to file their response within two
weeks.
