HC seeks Chandigarh administration, Centre's reply on delay in withdrawal of farm stir FIRs
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday asked the central govt and Chandigarh administration to respond to a petition filed by farmers over a delay in the UT sending a no-objection communication to Centre for withdrawal of cases registered during the 2020-2021 farm stir. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The central govt issued a policy in 2021, according to which, upon receiving no-objection from the state, the cases against the farmers registered during the farmer agitation would be withdrawn. Justice Jasjit Singh Bedi issued the notice after hearing a petition filed by Kirpal and other farmers (a total of 28 petitioners), who were booked during the farmers' agitation. The matter has been fixed for Aug 18. The high court was informed that following the farmers' agitation against the three farm laws enacted in 2020, the central govt agreed not only to repeal the laws but also to withdraw all criminal cases and FIRs registered against protesting farmers. Thereafter, a directive dated Dec 9, 2021, was issued by the Government of India, delegating powers to respective state govts to withdraw such FIRs under Section 321 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). The court was informed that in pursuance of the Centre's directives, several other states, including Haryana, initiated the withdrawal process. The petitioners, who were booked by UT police Chandigarh during the agitation, also submitted a representation in 2022 to the SSP Chandigarh. According to the plea, the process to withdraw cases against them could not be completed because no-objection communication was not communicated to the Union govt by the UT. The petitioners submitted that even after more than two and half years, the authorities failed to act, and such inaction by the UT amounts to a violation of their fundamental rights including the right to equality under the Constitution.
